The experience

Your guide meets you at your hotel or at the tour office and leads you through the heart of Munich on foot. The route takes in Marienplatz, the city's central square with its Gothic town halls and the famous Glockenspiel, then moves to the Frauenkirche and Peterskirche, Munich's oldest building. Along the way you'll hear the city's history, including its role during the Second World War, and stop for photos at the prettiest corners.

The tour includes a stop at the Hofbräuhaus, the legendary beer hall that's become a Munich institution, and passes through Viktualienmarkt, the city's best-known food market with its own beer garden. If something catches your eye or you want to linger longer at a particular site, you can ask your guide to adjust the route on the spot. The walk ends at Marienplatz or at Odeonsplatz, depending on what you'd like to see next.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't need to navigate to a meeting point. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and strollers are welcome for infants and small children. All areas and surfaces along the route are accessible. The 2-hour pace is suitable for all fitness levels, though the tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers.
