About time! For many years Munich had to make do with an official city website which looked like it was cobbled together by a colour-blind seven year old kid. Strange considering that Munich prides itself on being the center of technological excellence in Germany. Thankfully the city council have finally seen fit to give the website a major overhaul and today the new Official Munich City Portal has been launched. Not only has the look and feel been updated, but a complete "communications platform" for all city departments has been developed. You will now be able to interact with the authorities online and execute your official form filling duties without having to trudge down to the office buildings. You will also be able to retrieve information about shopping, restaurants, nightlife, sport, culture, transport, and more. As mentioned, Muenchen.de is the official Munich website. If, on the other hand, you were looking for a strictly Unofficial City Guide run by rank amateurs, then you've already found it!
