I'm still doing some research on Germany, I'm not locked into Munich but the mix between architecture and natural beauty with the Alps is leading me there. Berlin is definitely an option, I'd love to hear any other opinions on Germany anyone may have as I'm also wrestling with the notion of mixing some nature in with the city.

I would strongly consider Berlin over Munich, or in addition to it. Outstanding historical and cultural sites in Berlin and nearby (palace in Potsdam), great vibe and feel, wonderful cultural scene, particularly in the former East. Very green, full of green spaces and trees. Politically and culturally one of the most important European cities.
