Private History Munich Tour: Iconic Sights and WWII Landmarks

Overview

A walk through the historical center of Munich is not just a standard tour of the city's main attractions; it's a journey through Munich's history and traditions, as seen through the eyes of its own residents, the Bavarians! Our walk will begin in the main square of the city, Marienplatz, which was once a trading square. Here, your local guide will tell you about the city's origins and its name. You will see also see both the old and new town halls and unravel an interesting paradox: why the old town hall is actually newer than the new town hall. We'll step into the city's oldest church, St. Peter's Church, fondly known as "Old Peter," and meander through the historical and traditional meat markets of Munich at Viktualienmarkt. You'll get to see the city's main church, Frauenkirche, Residence. Then, we'll turn onto Odeonsplatz, where you'll witness a splendid Baroque-style church built to celebrate the birth of Bavarian rulers' heirs.
