Munich’s old town is where over 800 years of history meet everyday life.
From the city’s beginnings in 1158 under Duke Henry the Lion to the dramatic chapters of the 20th century, this walk connects Munich’s past with what you see today.

Along the way, we explore questions you won’t find on standard tours:
Where is Napoleon’s stepson buried? Why is there a cannonball embedded in a church wall? Where did Hitler find his party – and how is that history handled in Munich today? And what really makes the Viktualienmarkt special beyond the postcards?

This tour is about context, storytelling, and understanding the city as locals do.
