The experience

The tour starts at Marienplatz, where your guide introduces you to Munich's darker history and the legend of a nearby "miracle" that shaped the city. From there you move through the Platzl district, home to the famous Hofbrauhaus, uncovering tales of vampires, werewolves and real-life witches tied to the beerhall's shadowy past. The guide is a true believer in Munich's ghosts and passionate about the city itself: no costumes, no jump scares, just the stories people in Munich actually tell about the places you're standing in.

Odeonsplatz brings Nazi-era hauntings and darker bargains into the narrative, while the old city alleys near Müller's Public Bath reveal haunted towers, bloody executions and the kind of quiet that makes the night feel genuinely unsettling. You'll receive your second shot somewhere in this stretch and your third at one of the stops here. The route then passes Promenadeplatz, where a cruel man's ghost is said to terrify residents, before circling back to the starting point. The whole thing takes two to two and a half hours on foot.

The three shots of spirits, hence the tour's name, are included as a fun, interactive element meant to ease the mood as much as anything else. If you prefer not to drink, request a non-alcoholic substitute when you book, and children automatically receive the alcohol-free version. This is a ghost tour, not a pub crawl. The drinks are a bonus, not the point.
