Munich: Half-Day Walking Tour of the Major Highlights+

This carefully designed half-day walking tour reveals the heart of Bavaria's beer-and-baroque capital in 3 hours. You'll see the major highlights, with stops that balance iconic landmarks and the streets where local life unfolds. The full list of stops includes the Marienplatz with the Glockenspiel of the New Town Hall, the Frauenkirche with its twin domes (Not onion domes, but unintentional replicas of the Al-Aqsa Mosque/Jerusalem.), the Hofbrauhaus, the most famous beer hall in the world, and the Residenz palace and its courtyards. This tour gives you a complete impression of Munich. You'll move at your own pace alongside your local guide who will bring each stop to life, from how the Glockenspiel's wooden figures dance from the 1568 royal wedding to why Munich's surfers ride a man-made river wave year-round in the the English Garden. Ideal for first-time visitors who want a complete introduction to the city, or returning visitors looking to experience familiar sights through the eyes of a local expert.
