Highlights

On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll follow Adolf Hitler’s journey from obscure political agitator to a totalitarian dictator who would forever change the course of history. The tour starts at the Isartor Gate, which has marked Munich’s Eastern boundary since the Middle Ages. Along the way, you’ll visit the humble beerhall where Hitler joined the small workers’ party that would evolve into the Nazi movement, walk through the square where book burnings took place, and see the locations where both resistance fighters and regime supporters shaped Germany’s darkest chapter. While the subject matter is necessarily challenging, this tour approaches historical sites with sensitivity and educational purpose, providing crucial context for understanding how a democratic society can gradually succumb to authoritarianism. Before the tour ends near Karlsplatz, you’ll stop at the Main Synagogue Memorial at the site of one of the first synagogues that Hitler had demolished in June 1938.

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.
