The Munich District is a special area in south Bavaria, Germany. Think of it like a county that surrounds a big city. This district is part of a larger region called Upper Bavaria.

It's important to know that the Munich District does not include the big city of Munich itself. The city of Munich is its own separate urban district. So, the district is all the towns and villages around the main city.
