Itinerary
Your tour begins on Dachauer Strasse
Meet your guide at the check-in point on Dachauer Strasse, then walk to Karlsplatz, the lively square locals call Stachus. This grand gateway marks the western edge of Munich's compact pedestrian Old Town.
Gaze up at the soaring Frauenkirche
Follow your guide to the Frauenkirche, Munich's red-brick cathedral crowned by two green onion-domed towers. Built in the late 1400s, this Gothic landmark holds up to 20,000 worshippers beneath its vast vaulted nave.
Step inside St. Peter's Church
Head uphill to St. Peter's, the oldest parish church in Munich, founded by monks long before the city itself. Step inside to admire its baroque altar and ceiling frescoes, or climb the tower for sweeping rooftop views.
Sample Bavarian flavors at the Viktualienmarkt
Stroll into the Viktualienmarkt, an open-air food market trading since 1807 across more than 100 stalls. Browse Bavarian cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal produce, then pause at the beer garden shaded by chestnut trees.
Raise a glass at the Hofbräuhaus
Wander into the Hofbräuhaus, the legendary beer hall founded by a Bavarian duke in 1589 to brew for his royal court. Soak up the buzz of clinking steins and brass bands beneath its painted vaults, a true taste of local life.
Explore royal Munich at the Residenz
Follow the path of Bavaria's kings to the Residenz, the sprawling palace that served the Wittelsbach dynasty for centuries. Pass the Alter Hof, their first royal seat, and the grand opera house on Max-Joseph-Platz.
Your tour ends on Marienplatz
Loop back to Marienplatz, the central square ringed by the neo-Gothic New Town Hall and its famous large mechanical clock, the Glockenspiel. Your guide shares final tips on where to eat, drink, and shop before you set off to explore Munich on your own.
