Why We Love This Unique Experience

Experience the profound history of Munich at Königsplatz with a captivating guided tour that explores the intricate layers of the city’s past, particularly during the era of the Third Reich. Positioned at the heart of Munich, Königsplatz is not just a site of architectural beauty, but a place rich in stories and events that have shaped German history. This exceptional experience invites participants to delve into a significant chapter that combines reflections on history, wars, and the enduring hope for a better future.

The tour begins at the iconic Book Burning Monument, where guests will meet their knowledgeable guide. Over the course of two hours, participants will stroll through this extraordinary square, hearing about key historical events, including the infamous book burnings that marked a dark passage in Germany's culture. Stops will include the majestic Propylaea, which has been dubbed the "door to Athens north of the Alps," and the Staatliche Antikensammlung, a museum housing remarkable collections curated by King Ludwig I. A visit to the Glyptothek offers insight into ancient Greek culture, while the Lenbachhaus reveals its enchanting garden and collections that celebrate Bavaria's artistic heritage.

This immersive historical exploration is not only informative; it also serves as a unique gift for history enthusiasts, art lovers, or anyone intrigued by the complexities of Germany's past.
