With over 150 retail stores and some 50 places where you can eat and drink, it’s like a city centre, offering travelers and visitors plenty to see and do. Munich was voted the Best Airport in Europe, Best Airport in Central Europe, and Best Airport: 40-50 million passengers in 2019.
This beautiful airport is quite curious. There are a number of theories that have cropped up about this airport over the years, resulting in the so called “Denver Airport Conspiracy”. Throughout the building there are several unusual or ominous designs, including a few that are said to be linked to Nazism. The runways form a swastika-like shape, and there is a picture in the main hall that depicts a Nazi soldier attacking the dove of peace. Another interesting piece is the granite monument, which is said to contain a “time capsule” that can only be opened in 2094.
