Free Walking Tour of Munich

The tour begins at the designated time in front of Fish's Fountain in Marienplatz, in the centre of Munich. Marienplatz is home to both the new and old town halls. Here we will stop to see the Rathaus-Glockenspiel and learn its history.

Passing through the main shopping streets surrounding Marienplatz, the tour arrives at Frauenkirche, the Munich Cathedral. Here we'll contemplate the facade of the city's largest church and discuss the recent history of the city.

Next, we'll move onto Odeonsplatz square, where we'll find the Feldherrnhalle, a loggia built to honor the Bavarian Army in the 19th century. Our next destination will be Theatinerkirche, built in Italian high-Baroque style in the 17th century. Then, we'll visit Viscardigasse, known as "Shirker's Alley," where locals could avoid the Nazi salute requirement.

Next, we'll pass by the Munich Residenz, the former royal palace of the Wittelsbach monarchs of Bavaria. The tour continues to the National Theatre and State Opera, where the Bavaria State Orchestra performs.

Maximilianstraße will be our next stop, one of the city's four royal avenues named after King Maximilian II of Bavaria. The tour concludes at Hofbräuhaus, Germany's most famous beer hall, after a total of 2.5 hours.
