Marienplatz

We’ll begin in the very heart of Munich—Marienplatz, where the city’s success story began with the trade of “white gold” – salt. From there, we’ll make our way to St. Peter’s Church (Alter Peter), the oldest in the historic center, offering timeless views and stories. Just around the corner lies the lively Viktualienmarkt, a beloved food market full of local specialties and flavors.Next, we’ll dive into quirky legends—rooted in real history—at Munich’s first royal residence, the Alter Hof. Framing the square are the striking Old and New Town Halls, setting the stage for the centerpiece of the plaza: the Mariensäule, or Column of St. Mary. This iconic statue reveals fascinating insights into 18th-century Bavaria and the rise of its first Prince-Elector.

Frauenkirche

The most iconic building in Munich’s historic center is a true Gothic masterpiece—the Frauenkirche, rising to nearly 100 meters (328 feet). Built in the 15th century, it stands as a powerful symbol of the Wittelsbach royal family’s influence during the late Middle Ages. Inside, the legendary devil’s footprint offers a glimpse into the superstitions and stories of medieval life. Beneath this grand structure lies an even older layer of history: the site once housed a Romanesque chapel dating back to the 13th century, reflecting centuries of spiritual and architectural evolution.

Schwabing

Welcome to Schwabing, Munich’s legendary bohemian district, once home to Wassily Kandinsky, co-founder of the Blauer Reiter (Blue Rider) expressionist movement, and Thomas Mann, Nobel Prize-winning author. Their creative spirit still lingers in the air.Wander through streets lined with vibrant German Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) buildings, where whimsical, colorful, and organic designs bring a playful elegance to the neighborhood.

Bahnwarter Thiel

Dive into the wildly creative south of Munich, where street art, alternative culture, and urban innovation come together in unforgettable ways.

With food stalls, a café, and sunset views, it’s no wonder the New York Times asked: “Is Munich getting cool? Look for the boat on the bridge.”We’ll also explore the charming Dreimühlenviertel, once home to three water mills and the heart of Munich’s rafting history. Along the way, we’ll uncover real hidden gems—like Little Venice, the fairytale café Gans Woanders, and the Isar River, reshaped in 2009 into a wild, natural oasis.
