Munich Walking Tour: English Garden and Colorful History and Culture in the City Center

See Munich's highlights on foot during this 2-hour walking tour of the city center's key attractions. With a professional guide, visit landmarks like the Glockenspiel on Marienplatz, the City Palace, and the Viktualienmarket with more than 100 different food vendors. Stop in the legendary Hofbräuhaus beer hall, and head to the beautiful English Garden to watch the surfers catching waves in the Eisbach River.

Select the time that best suits you when booking your tour, then meet your guide in front of the Tourist Information kiosk in central Munich's Marienplatz. Admire the life-size figures of the Glockenspiel as they do their thrice-daily dance, before seeing the Frauenkirche Cathedral — the highest building in Munich's city center.

Next, visit the grand City Palace and the Opera House. Admire their soaring ceilings and stunning architecture as you hear about their history from your local guide. Walk through Odeonsplatz, where you'll stop and hear about the history of the Third Reich and how Munich was the birthplace of the Nazi Party. Pop by the Hofbräuhaus, Munich's most famous beer hall, and browse among the hundreds of stalls at the lively outdoor Viktualienmarkt.

Continue to the English Gardens, one of Europe's largest urban green areas, and watch the surfers as they catch waves on the Eisbach River before returning to Marienplatz to conclude the two-hour tour.
