Highlights

Munich doesn’t only have the best beer in Germany, it also has great food. On this self-paced audio tour, tour guide Jo Eckardt will show you her favourite cafés and eateries in Munich's lesser-known locales. I’ll show you my favourite cafés and eateries off the beaten track. You’ll have an opportunity to visit Turmstüberl, a traditional café in the Karl Valentin Museum hidden within one of Isator’s towers. You’ll then venture into the city centre, passing by the quirky Beer and Oktoberfest Museum and the wonderful Willy-Wonka-esque House of Cacao. From there, you’ll make your way to Germany’s most well-known market, Viktualienmarkt, where you can get the best cheeses, spices, fruit and even horse-meat sausages! Join me on this quick culinary tour of the city that, depending on how many stops you make, can be completed in just 30 minutes or three hours.

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.
