Hello, I'm Philipp, A native of Munich with a lifelong connection to this incredible city. As a passionate tour guide and content creator, I specialize in bringing Munich's unique stories and lesser-known gems to life. Growing up here, I’ve cultivated not only an insider’s knowledge of the city’s famous landmarks but also the hidden corners that most visitors miss. Munich’s history spans from its medieval foundations to its complex role in the rise of National Socialism, and I strive to present these chapters with the depth and context they deserve. The city is also a culinary treasure trove, from hearty Bavarian classics to vibrant street food markets that showcase local flavors. And with a rich calendar of seasonal events, like the world-famous Oktoberfest and magical Christmas markets, there’s always something to celebrate. Beyond the main attractions, I enjoy introducing visitors to lesser-known treasures like the Auer Dult, a traditional fair, and Starkbierfest, Munich's “strong beer” festival rooted in Bavarian monastic tradition. Through my videos and tours, I provide a local’s perspective that’s rich with personal anecdotes and connections to the city’s past and present. Whether you’re looking for iconic sights, authentic eats, or a deep dive into Munich’s vibrant, authentic spots, I’m here to show you a side of Munich that you’ll never forget.

Overview of your Munich tour

Join me, Philipp, a born-and-raised Münchner, as we explore the charm of Munich’s Christmas markets. We’ll start at the iconic Christkindlmarkt at Marienplatz, where tradition sparkles under the glowing Christmas tree, followed by the Schwabinger Christmas Market, showcasing artistic treasures and local creativity. Next, step back in time at the Medieval Christmas Market, where costumed vendors and old-world crafts bring history to life. We’ll then visit the vibrant Pink Christmas in Glockenbachviertel, a colorful celebration of diversity. Our tour continues with the cozy Mondscheinexpress at Bahnwärter Thiel, blending industrial flair with holiday magic, and concludes at Winter Tollwood, a cultural hotspot offering international delights and seasonal surprises. The itinerary is of secondary importance on this tour. It's all about flowing with the Christmas spirit. I will point out special features and German Christmas delicacies at the Christmas markets and we can change plans as we go.
