Munich Architecture Tour of Old Town

Munich is over 860 years old, this great city, which according to many lifestyle magazines is one of the most liveable cities in the world. Founded in the Middle Ages, Munich became a major city in the 19th century, it was destroyed and rebuilt. In this respect, the history of Munich is similar to that of many other cities, but with one decisive difference: Munich was to be rebuilt at all costs at the request of the population. Thus, after decades of reconstruction, an extremely attractive cityscape emerged that optimally combines tradition with moderate modernity. Even today, for example, no buildings are allowed to stand taller than the twin towers of the Frauenkirche, the city's official landmark. Does that sound old-fashioned? Come with me on a tour of downtown Munich and be impressed by the architecture of a cosmopolitan city that has nevertheless managed to retain its unique cosiness.

If you are staying in the city center, we can of course start the tour comfortably from your hotel, where we will meet. The end of the tour is flexible too: maybe somewhere in the city or I will bring you back to the hotel. The distance is - no matter where you live in the city - never really far and everything is within walking distance. During our tour will pass all important buildings like: * the Munich Frauenkirche * the famous Viktualienmarkt * the Munich Hofbräuhaus * the Bavarian State Opera House * the Royal Residence, Royal Boulevards and of course the Munich City Hall with its famous Glockenspiel - by the way, the most photographed sight in the city. This tour is not only informative, but also a walk through all the important architectural periods that were significant for Munich, such as the Gothic, the Renaissance or Baroque and Historicism. In between, the city keeps coming up with top elegant-modern shopping arcades and bold steps into a new architectural age.
