Old Town Munich: A Relaxed 2.5-Hour Walk

Dear Traveler, my name is Lucía. I grew up in Madrid, the capital of Spain, surrounded by family from many parts of the world: my paternal grandparents from the Canary Islands and the south of the Spanish peninsula, and my maternal grandparents from Germany and Austria, who met as a result of the Second World War. The economic situation in Spain 16 years ago made me want to finish my studies in Germany. I graduated in Art, Design and Photography in Munich, where I've been working as a tour guide for 15 years, showing people all over Bavaria and Austria. In 2012, I became an official licensed tour guide at the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, a subject that has always interested me due to my family history. During the pandemic I returned to the world of photography and design, working in a marketing agency, but it became very clear to me that my thing was contact with people, helping them to know better the city where I live and collaborating with the historical memory of a tragic period in the history of humanity from which we must learn, so when the pandemic ended I returned to tourism and decided to focus on the history of the Second World War. As far as my tours are concerned, in this world where everything goes very fast and there is a constant overload of stimuli, I think it is important to take a break and see and understand things calmly. That is why I like to explore the city of Munich as well as historically charged places like Dachau in a calm and empathic way. If you also enjoy exploring things at a slower pace and from a deeper, less superficial perspective - avoiding the typical highlights found in every guidebook or website - I would love to show you around the capital of Bavaria and its historical landmarks!
