Itinerario

1. Discover the fascinating design journey of this one-of-a-kind building – a creation by my former architecture professor.

   10 min

2. Immerse yourself in Bahnwärter Thiel, Munich’s vibrant art district, where the Beginner’s Wall and over 40 spray-painted shipping containers bring street art to life on the former cattle yard district.

   15 min

3. A boat on an old railway bridge? Yes, really! The Alte Utting is one of Munich’s most unique spots – a bar, café, and restaurant with an even more fascinating backstory. It was even featured in The New York Times!

   10 min

4. Travel back in time to when only fields, a canal, and a water mill stood here—now transformed into one of Munich’s most charming hidden districts: the Dreimühlenviertel.

   10 min

5. Stroll through the park along the beautiful Isar River and discover over 700 years of rafting history, as well as the river’s remarkable renaturation project that was completed in 2009.

   20 min

6. A reminder of WWII, this former high-rise air raid shelter is now one of Munich’s most exclusive residential complexes. It stands as a powerful symbol—urging us never to repeat the past—while also demonstrating how light and transparency emerged through its transformation into a modern living space.

   10 min

7. We’re now in the Scherbenviertel—the “district of shards”—a once-poor neighborhood that was frequently flooded by the Isar River. Two small, beautifully preserved workers’ cottages from that time still stand as quiet reminders of the past. Now listed as historical ensemble, they also lead us to a nearby scandal involving similar cottages and the fight to preserve Munich’s architectural heritage.

   10 min

8. Small Venice is a one-of-a-kind spot in Munich. With its charming houses lining the Auermühlbach canal, it feels more like a peaceful village than a city neighborhood—making it the perfect place to unwind before relaxing at the nearby café.

   10 min

9. We’ll wrap up the tour at Gans Woanders, a one-of-a-kind alternative beer garden full of artistic flair. It’s the perfect place to unwind after the tour—and yes, restrooms are available.

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.
