Start your Munich Old Town tour with a pickup from your central hotel or alternatively, meet your private guide near Munich Central Station. Then, set off to explore the medieval streets while learning about the city’s fascinating history and culture. If there’s something you want to know more about, simply let your guide know; your tour is private so your itinerary can be tailored to your interests.
A city of many names, Munich has been called the heart of medieval Europe, the Athens of the Alps and beer capital of the world – each name indicating its different identities throughout history. Each sight on your tour comes with a story, so follow your guide around the city and learn all about its famous attractions.
Visit pretty Marienplatz, the central city square since the 1100s, and admire the town hall with its glockenspiel that re-enacts stories from the 16th century. Stop for photos by Frauenkirche, Munich’s iconic red-roofed cathedral that was bombed during WWII, and wander around one of city’s oldest places of worship: St Peter’s Church.
Pass through the food market of Viktualienmarkt with its brightly colored stalls and peer in the windows of Hofbräuhaus – the must-visit beer hall while in town. Stop at the former royal palace of Bavarian monarchs, Munich Residenz, and then pass into the square of Odeonsplatz where Adolf Hitler made his first push for power during the infamous ‘beer hall putsch.’
After 2.5 hours exploring the city, work your way back to the start point (either your hotel or the station), and then bid your guide goodbye.
