What to expect

  1. Karlstor
    10m
    Munich's grandest surviving city gate, the Gothic Karlstor guards the western entrance to the old town from the always bustling square that locals affectionately call Stachus. Its twin towers and sparkling fountains have welcomed travelers into the city for more than seven centuries.
  2. St. Michael
    10m
    A gleaming white Renaissance giant rising straight out of Munich's busy shopping street, its facade guarded by a bronze archangel spearing a demon. Inside soars the second-largest free-spanning barrel vault in the world, sheltering the royal crypt of the Wittelsbach dynasty.
  3. Frauenkirche
    10m
    Munich's towering brick cathedral, crowned by two green onion domes that have become the symbol of the city. Its vast, luminous nave and the mysterious Devil's Footstep draw visitors from around the world.
  4. Munich Marienplatz
    10m
    The vibrant central square of Munich and its beating heart since 1158, framed by the soaring neo-Gothic New Town Hall. Crowds gather daily beneath its tower to watch the famous Glockenspiel, where dozens of life-sized figures whirl out scenes from the city's past.
  5. St. Peter's Church
    10m
    Munich's oldest parish church, affectionately nicknamed 'Alter Peter' or 'Old Peter'. Its slender tower rises just steps from Marienplatz and offers one of the finest panoramic views in the entire city.
  6. 10m
    Munich's beloved open air food market and the culinary heart of the old town, alive with the scent of fresh herbs, roasting sausages, and Bavarian delicacies. Beneath its blue and white maypole, around one hundred and forty stalls, folk singer fountains, and the city's most central beer garden buzz with local life.
  7. Staatliches Hofbrauhaus
    10m
    Munich's most famous beer hall, born as a ducal brewery in 1589 and buzzing with brass bands, communal tables and one litre mugs of Hofbräu beer. It is the beating heart of Bavarian beer culture.
  8. Residenz Munchen
    10m
    The largest inner-city palace in Germany and the former royal seat of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Behind its restrained facades lie ten courtyards, 130 opulent rooms, and a treasury glittering with a thousand years of crowns and jewels.
  9. Odeonsplatz
    10m
    A grand, Italian-flavored square where a Florentine loggia and a butter-yellow Baroque church frame the gateway to Munich's royal quarter. It is also where the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch met its bloody end, leaving a lasting scar on German history.
  10. English Garden
    10m
    One of the world's largest urban parks, where royal landscaping meets an astonishing sight: surfers riding a permanent standing wave in the ice-cold Eisbach stream, right in the middle of the city.
