1. Once upon a time, many, many years ago, Munich was a much smaller town than it is today. And right here, where we’re standing on Marienplatz, was the heart of it all...

2. So, St. Michael’s Church wasn’t just any church. It was built by Duke Wilhelm V, the same Duke who was wed in that jousting tournament we saw at the Glockenspiel in Marienplatz....

3. Odeonsplatz is named after the Odeon, a concert hall that once stood on the north side of the square. While the Odeon is no longer there (it was destroyed during World War II), the name has stuck, reminding us of the square’s long association with culture and the arts.

4. The Munich Residenz started as a humble castle in the 14th century, but over the centuries, it was transformed into a grand palace complex, reflecting the changing tastes and ambitions of the Wittelsbach rulers.

5. Hofgarten is a beautiful and historic garden located in the heart of Munich, Germany. Its story begins in the early 17th century, specifically around 1613. It was commissioned by Duke Maximilian I, who wanted a formal garden in the Italian Renaissance style, right next to the Munich Residenz, his royal palace.

6. The New Town Hall, or Neues Rathaus, isn’t actually that new, it was built between 1867 and 1909. And it replaced the older town hall. But, it is an amazing building and well worth the title. What makes the Neues Rathaus so impressive?

7. St. Peter’s Church is known as "Alter Peter" by the locals, which means "Old Peter"! This isn’t just any church; it’s the oldest parish church in Munich, and it’s absolutely packed with history, art, and some seriously breathtaking views. Get ready for a climb, because the best part is at the top!

   Vorbeifahrt

8. Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung isn’t a museum with a permanent collection; instead, it hosts temporary exhibitions that change several times a year. This means that there’s always something new and exciting to see!

   Vorbeifahrt

9. The Residenz Museum is located within the Munich Residenz, which as we’ve mentioned, served as the seat of government and residence of the Bavarian rulers from 1508 to 1918.

   Vorbeifahrt

10. This place that’s practically synonymous with Munich: the Hofbräuhaus! Get ready for a dose of Bavarian beer, oompah music, and good times because this is an experience you won’t forget. So, the Hofbräuhaus isn’t just a beer hall; it’s a legend.

    Vorbeifahrt

11. Frauenkirche or the Cathedral of Our Lady is a truly iconic landmark of Munich! Prepare to be impressed, because this church is massive, rich in history, and full of fascinating stories.

    Vorbeifahrt

12. This is the Olympiaberg, or Olympic Mountain! Now, don’t let the name fool you, it’s not a towering peak, but a man-made hill that offers spectacular panoramic views of Munich and a fascinating glimpse into the city’s Olympic history. Get ready for a bit of a climb, but trust me, the reward is worth the effort!

About Munich

Munich is the Bavarian capital, with a rebuilt old town, beer gardens, royal palaces and the Alps visible on clear days to the south.

Marienplatz, the main square, is overlooked by the neo-Gothic New Town Hall, whose Glockenspiel chimes with mechanical figures, and by the twin onion-domed towers of the Frauenkirche. The Viktualienmarkt close by is a food market with a beer garden. The Residenz, the former home of Bavaria's rulers, has lavish halls and a treasury, and Nymphenburg Palace stands in a park to the west.
