Experience Munich with fun and passion! Munich is full of life, stories and surprises - and I invite you to discover this city in a very special way. As a true Munich resident, I will show you the most exciting corners, the liveliest places and the most charming sides of this city - and with lots of joy and enthusiasm! Whether it's about the hidden highlights, the best photo spots or a relaxed exchange about the Munich attitude to life, the focus of my tour is fun. My international experiences - from trips through Chile, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Europe and the USA - are included. People and stories always come first for me. In addition to my passion for Munich, I like to be active in my free time - climbing, bouldering and mastering new challenges are among my hobbies. With German roots, Spanish temperament and Estonian curiosity, I bring an international mix that also flows into my tours. I speak fluent German, English and Spanish - and a little French - so we can talk in your favorite language. So, let's discover Munich together and have an unforgettable day! 😊

Tour description

Join me for a 500-Year Journey Through Munich’s Architectural  History!

Step back in time as we explore Munich’s rich heritage, starting in the late 15th century with the iconic Frauenkirche (Cathedral of Our Lady). Here, we’ll delve into the Gothic era and uncover the fascinating stories of that time. 

From there, we’ll journey through history, moving chronologically to the Renaissance with the world-record-holding masterpiece, St. Michael’s Church.

Our adventure continues through the opulence of Baroque, the elegance of Neo-Classicism, and the grandeur of Historicism.

Along the way, we’ll uncover tales of the royal family, amusing legends, and even some of the city’s darker chapters.

To take a breather from the bustling Old Town, we’ll hop on a tram to the tranquil Isar River. Here, another world records and a funny dog story awaits. 

Finally, we’ll immerse ourselves in the rich and playful style of Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), explore vibrant street art, and conclude our tour with a fantastic modern museum from outside.

This extraordinary tour connects 500 years of history with the present, bringing Munich’s past to life in an entertaining and unique way.

Best regards, 
Philipp


Highlights

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:
Frauenplatz 1, 80331 München, Germany
I will be waiting for you outside, in front of the main entrance to the famous church Frauenkirche. You can easily recognize me by my yellow winter hat, yellow backpack, and a large blue presentation folder in my hands. Getting there: It's best to get off at the S-Bahn and subway station U3/6 'Marienplatz' and walk 5 minutes to the meeting point. From the central station 'Hauptbahnhof München' it is a 15 min walk.
