Description

See the highlights of Munich's historic Old Town on this exciting guided tour. You'll start at Marienplatz, the heart of the city, surrounded by the stunning Neo-Gothic New Town Hall and the majestic Glockenspiel. From there, make your way to St. Peter’s Church, the oldest parish church in Munich. Stroll through the colorful stalls of the Viktualienmarkt, Munich’s largest and most traditional food market. Let yourself be drawn in by the tantalizing aromas of fresh bread, cheeses, and sizzling sausages. Sample a few local specialties — perhaps a Weißwurst with sweet mustard or a warm pretzel fresh from the oven before setting off for the Old Town Hall. Follow Burgstraße, one of Munich’s oldest streets, and marvel at the Old Court (Alter Hof), the former seat of the Wittelsbach dukes - a place steeped in Bavarian history. Meander through the winding Platzlgassen alleys, where medieval charm meets modern life, and make your way to the world-famous Hofbräuhaus. This legendary beer hall has hosted everyone from locals to royalty. Admire the luxury and elegance of Maximilianstraße, Germany’s most exclusive shopping street, lined with high-end boutiques, jewelers, and designer showrooms. The tour continues past the Bavarian State Opera - a neoclassical masterpiece located beside the Residenz, the former seat of Bavarian royalty - and leads you onward to the stately Odeonsplatz. This grand square is surrounded by impressive buildings, including the imposing Feldherrnhalle. Just opposite stands the Theatinerkirche, built in striking Italian Baroque style - a reminder of why Munich is often called the northernmost city of Italy. Here, surrounded by history and architectural beauty, you can pause to soak in the atmosphere before continuing your exploration of Munich’s many delights.
