About this experience
They say all Germans either already live in Munich or dream of living there... And it's true! The Bavarian capital is one of the most modern and comfortable cities in the world! Munich is the city of the Olympics, BMW and Siemens corporations, universities, museums, and undoubtedly the world capital of beer. You can see all of this by exploring Munich not only in the old town but also beyond its limits.
What to expect
On a car-and-foot tour of Munich, we will explore both the historical heart of the city: Sendlinger Tor, Max-Joseph-Platz, Theatine Church, Residence, Marienplatz, Frauenkirche, Hofbräuhaus, and the most interesting sights outside the historical boundaries. You will see the Art Quarter with famous art museums: Old and New Pinakothek, Glyptothek, Brandhorst Museum, Royal Square, the Nymphenburg Palace complex, where representatives of the royal Wittelsbach dynasty still reside today.
We will also visit: The Olympic Stadium - the site of the 1972 Olympics, BMW buildings and museums dedicated to the brand, famous Bavarian breweries with copper vats as tall as multi-storey buildings, the bohemian district of Schwabing, and the vast English Garden.
