Description
Join us for an exciting and enlightening tour of Munich! We'll start at a prearranged meeting point, and head to Odeonsplatz to marvel at the stunning architecture of the Odeon and Theatinerkirche. We'll also see where Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 took place and learn about its history. Continuing on foot, our next stop is the iconic domed Frauenkirche – a central cathedral in the city and one of Munich’s foremost architectural symbols.
Next you will delve into the very heart of the city at Marienplatz, Munich’s central square, to see the richly decorated New Town Hall and watch the 43 bells of its historic clock chime the hour. Time will also be taken to visit St. Peter’s Church – the oldest parish church in the city – before heading to Hofbräuhaus, a world-famous beer hall known for it's rich history.
We'll continue on foot through the Alter Hof, towards the grandiose Residenz – former center of the Wittelsbach monarchy of Bavaria, and the largest city palace in Germany. Finally, to round out the tour, you will walk up to the Siegestor – the ‘Victory Gate’. Initially completed in the mid-19th century and dedicated to the Bavarian army, the former triumphal arch, damaged heavily during Allied bombing raids in WWII, now stands as a monument to peace and the consequences of German militarism.
At the end of the tour, once your guide says goodbye, if you’d prefer to stay in the city centre, will furnish you with recommendations for further exploration.
