As this tour is personalized, you can choose your itinerary by yourself as well as the tour’s duration. If you have some suggestions on what you would like to visit, you may ask it in advance, so the guide could prepare the best tour just for you. But there’s no doubt you will see the Frauenkirche, the Gothic cathedral constructed in 1468 that became an unmistakable symbol of Munich. Located near the central Marienplatz, this monumental Gothic masterpiece dominates the landscape and is seen from almost every part of the city. You won’t find a building higher than this in the center due to the administration height restrictions for new structures. You can either start your journey through the city here or finish it at the perfect viewpoint atop one of the towers and take a breathtaking panorama of the places you’ve already seen or are going to visit and the Alps in the south if the weather is good.

Stroll through the central streets of the old town and go through the Marienplatz to see the gorgeous New Town Hall and old St. Peter’s Church. Marvel at the spectacular architecture around you and take pleasure in the immersion into the city’s atmosphere. Feed your mind with splendid views and interesting stories about the past.

The building housed the administration of Munich up until the construction of the New Town Hall in 1874 and was left untouched in contrast to other structures that stood on the place of the New Town Hall. Today it houses some administrative units and offices as well as a Toy museum.
