Best Free Tours in Munich
Munich is one of the most culturally rich cities in the north of Europe. This Bavarian wonderland is a hub for German art, technology, and architecture perfect to discover on the best Free Walking Tours in Munich. Come and join one of the many available Munich City Tours departing every day to track the origins of this incredible capital back to the Benedictine monastery of Tegernsee. However, for those who want to understand the role of Germany in contemporary history, we highly recommend booking a Free Third Reich in Munich Tour. This guided visit through Adolf Hitler’s Munich will help you understand the beginnings of Nazi Germany. If you are visiting during October, then joining Germany’s iconic Oktoberfest with a Free Munich Beer Tour is a definite must! Additionally, you can book an excursion to Neuschwanstein Castle, which inspired Walt Disney himself.
Highlights of a Free Tour in Munich
The 700-year rule of the Wittelsbach dynasty left an incredible legacy full of Baroque and Rococo churches, quirky palaces and photogenic streets ideal to explore on several top-rated Free Tours in Munich. Most guides will walk you through Munich ‘Altstadt’ (old town) for 2-3 hours and take you to the top spots in the city, including: the energetic Marienplatz, where the famous Rathaus-Glockenspiel‘s wooden figures dance to the rhythm of a huge clock; St. Peter’s Church, whose 91-metre tower is synonymous with the city; Frauenkirche, Munich’s famous twin-towered Cathedral; and The Royal Residenz, the largest city palace in Germany and a former royal palace of the Bavarian monarchs. Other must-see sights on a Munich Free Tour include the Alte Pinakothek art museum, Nymphenburg Palace, and the Munich Stadtmuseum.
Things to Do in Munich
Beer enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise when visiting Munich, famous across the country for many wonderful breweries. In fact, no visit around Munich would be complete without a stop at Hofbräuhaus, Germany’s most famous beer hall. However, if you are a real beer aficionado, we highly recommend taking some time to visit one top rated attraction in the city, the Augustiner Brewery. This is one of the most authentic breweries in the country and is located away from the city center and its tourist traps. After a day of sightseeing with Munich Free Walking Tours, make sure to finish your day at one of the biggest public parks in Europe: the stunning English Garden. There you will find beer gardens, traditional restaurants, rivers, lakes and even a Chinese pagoda. Families who want to have a fun day with kids, should go visit the famous SEA LIFE Munich, one of the best aquariums in Germany.
