Highlights
Explore Munich after dark through ghost stories, dark legends, and the fears that made them endure. Led by Conny, a theatre and film scholar, this atmospheric evening walk looks beyond spooky tales to explore what they reveal about Munich's history, beliefs, and society. Discover stories of ghosts, witches, devils, death, and the supernatural, including the devil's footprint at the Frauenkirche, the witch trials of St. Michael's Church, the legend of the “Schiache Luz,” and the cursed merchant of Maxtor. This is a ghost tour without costumes, actors, or cheap jump scares. Instead, expect atmospheric storytelling, forgotten history, and a different perspective on Munich after sunset. Along the way, enjoy a Kirschgeist shot for a little courage. During the winter months, a warming Glühwein is also included.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Munich: Neuschwanstein Castle, Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz.
