Munich Historic Bike Tour Experience

We meet in a central location at Karlsplatz. After a brief briefing and the distribution of the bikes, the guided bike tour starts. It is a relaxed pace through the historic old town. So you have time to experience the city while cycling.
Stops are made at relevant locations where you can immerse yourself in Munich's history, hear about current Munich challenges and developments and numerous anecdotes. Whether it is the Hitler coup on Odeonsplatz, the expansion of Munich after the French Revolution or an alleged Spanish dancer who enchanted the king - many things come to life again.
You can experience relaxed cycling alongside the city center and the city's green spaces.

Munich is - with very few exceptions - an extremely flat city. Do not worry. You will have almost no climbs. So you don't have to be a professional cyclist for the tour.
