On this private tour, you’ll enjoy your guide’s undivided attention.
Check out the best of the Munich’s big-name sights, including its many beautiful churches and the famous Hofbräuhaus beer hall. Stop in Marienplatz, the city’s central square, and view the towering Gothic New Town Hall and the whimsical Glockenspiel. Take pictures of the iconic Frauenkirche cathedral, whose striking onion-shaped domes appear on many Munich postcards. Then wander around St Peter’s Church, the oldest church in the city dating back to the 12th century.
Many of these landmarks were all but destroyed during World War II, only to be saved by the extensive reconstruction that followed. As the birthplace and headquarters of the Nazi party, Munich had a strong Nazi presence in the years leading up to and during World War II. Explore the sites associated with the rise of the Third Reich such as where the Gestapo headquarters once stood and the place where the Beer Hall Putsch, an attempted coup by Hitler and his followers, took place in 1923.
After three hours trekking around Munich's Old Town, head back to your departure point (either your hotel or the station), and say your goodbyes to your private guide.
