Munich Essentials History and Highlights German Walking Tour
Altstadt-Lehel
About
Join us on a journey through the multifaceted history of the Bavarian capital, where we explore both its glorious eras and its darkest chapters. We will trace the city’s path from its medieval monastic roots, through seven centuries of the Wittelsbach dynasty’s reign, to the pivotal moments of the German Empire.
Your tour offers a balanced perspective: we will visit sites associated with the rise of National Socialism, but also landmarks tied to the spiritual legacy of Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI. We also won't miss the Marienplatz carillon—a spectacle that, love it or hate it, remains the city’s most debated icon.
