Munich Historical Walking Tour and Beer Hall

Head to Odeonsplatz to admire stunning architecture of the Odeon, the Feldherrnhalle and the Theatinerkirche and see where Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 collapsed in a hail of Bavarian police gunfire. See the Frauenkirche – one of Munich’s foremost architectural symbols.
Delve into the heart of the city at Marienplatz, Munich’s central square, to see the richly decorated New Town Hall and watch the 43 bells of its historic clock chime the hour. Visit St. Peter’s Church – the oldest parish church in the city – before heading to world’s most famous beer hall: the Hofbräuhaus.

Continue through the Alter Hof, former residence of Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV, towards the grandiose Residenz – former center of the Wittelsbach monarchy of Bavaria, and the largest city palace in Germany. Finally, walk up to the Siegestor – the ‘Victory Gate’ dedicated to the Bavarian army and damaged during Allied bombing raids in WWII, now a monument to peace and the consequences of German militarism.
