Meeting Point
We'll meet at Piazza Zenetti Square, easily identified by its distinctive green street furniture. Look for me with a tablet slung over my shoulder — I’ll be easy to spot. The easiest route is via subway lines U3 or U6. Exit at Poccistrasse station and enjoy a 10-minute walk to our meeting point.
Zenettipl., 80337 München , Germany
End Point
This stylish café and restaurant is the perfect spot to relax after our tour. Just a 2-minute walk away, you’ll find the 'Humboldtstraße' bus stop, where Bus 52 takes you straight to the heart of Munich. In just 12 minutes, you’ll arrive at 'Marienplatz (Rindermarkt).'

What to expect
Munchner Volkstheater
Discover the fascinating design journey of this one-of-a-kind building – a creation by my former architecture professor.
10 minutes
Immerse yourself in Bahnwärter Thiel, Munich’s vibrant art district, where the Beginner’s Wall and over 40 spray-painted shipping containers bring street art to life on the former cattle yard district.
15 minutes
Alte Utting
A boat on an old railway bridge? Yes, really! The Alte Utting is one of Munich’s most unique spots – a bar, café, and restaurant with an even more fascinating backstory. It was even featured in The New York Times!
10 minutes
Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm
Travel back in time to when only fields, a canal, and a water mill stood here—now transformed into one of Munich’s most charming hidden districts: the Dreimühlenviertel.
10 minutes
Wittelsbacherbrücke
Stroll through the park along the beautiful Isar River and discover over 700 years of rafting history, as well as the river’s remarkable renaturation project that was completed in 2009.
20 minutes
Claude-Lorrain-Straße
A reminder of WWII, this former high-rise air raid shelter is now one of Munich’s most exclusive residential complexes. It stands as a powerful symbol—urging us never to repeat the past—while also demonstrating how light and transparency emerged through its transformation into a modern living space.
10 minutes
u. Weidenstraße
We’re now in the Scherbenviertel—the “district of shards”—a once-poor neighborhood that was frequently flooded by the Isar River. Two small, beautifully preserved workers’ cottages from that time still stand as quiet reminders of the past. Now listed as historical ensemble, they also lead us to a nearby scandal involving similar cottages and the fight to preserve Munich’s architectural heritage.
10 minutes
Little Venice
Small Venice is a one-of-a-kind spot in Munich. With its charming houses lining the Auermühlbach canal, it feels more like a peaceful village than a city neighborhood—making it the perfect place to unwind before relaxing at the nearby café.
10 minutes
Gans Woanders
We’ll wrap up the tour at Gans Woanders, a one-of-a-kind alternative beer garden full of artistic flair. It’s the perfect place to unwind after the tour—and yes, restrooms are available.
