Listen to your guide’s story about two historical events performed by the wooden figurines at fixed hours.Within a step away, you will reach the oldest catholic church of the city, St. Peter. Afterwards make sure to get a good view of the double towers of the cathedral Frauenkirche, the largest church in Munich, with the “footprint of the devil” and with a dark legend surrounding it. Follow your guide to Odeonsplatz, learn about the Beer-Hall- Putsch and listen to the story of a tumultuous night when two thousand men, lead by Adolf Hitler, marched to the centre of Munich trying to seize power. Pass by the baroque Theatine Church, built by the Elector of Bavaria, Ferdinand Maria and his wife as a thank you gesture for the birth of the long-awaited heir to the Bavarian crown, Prince Max Emanuel. You’ll also see Ludwigstrasse, a neo-classical styled street, where the State Library, the oldest university of Munich and the Gate of Victory are located. Go back towards the center to Max-Joseph- Square, enjoy the view of the Opera, the National Theater, and the Royal Palace, the Residence, the former palace of the Bavarian monarchs and the largest palace in all of Germany.

Had a lovely walking tour this Sunday with Monika. She picked me up from my hotel, ran through the itinerary, and then we began our 2+ hour excursion. Since there is SO MUCH history and SO MANY buildings in Munich, Monika helped prioritize the oldest churches/city buildings/and squares with a map that showed how the city has transformed from Middle Ages to present. The pictures also helped me visualize what the count princes, popes, and other significant characters looked like in their time period. The time flew by and I felt like we covered a lot of the Holy Roman Empire Catholicism vs. Protestantism history along with the World War II Nazi Germany history. Fabulous woman who didn't rush and always checked in to make sure that I having fun. Highly recommend her!
