Munich unforgettable private tours with locals

Essential city info, articles & travel tips from our local hosts

Munich is at the very heart of historic Bavaria, and the city’s rich Bavarian heritage is on display at every beer garden, brewery, and museum. In Germany’s capital of quirk, Lederhosen is everyday wear, beer halls outnumber bars, and tipsy oompah bands provide the festive soundtrack for a night out. Munich’s attractions have remained relatively unscathed throughout its history: centuries-old palaces, frescoed churches, and the Marienplatz square – the heart of the city since 1158 – all harken back to the Bavaria of the past, its endearing charm rooted in tradition. At the city’s best restaurants, the food is still homely and hearty; Oktoberfest is still being celebrated 200 years after its advent; and the Hofbräuhaus München beer hall is still keeping as many tankards overflowing today as it did in 1589. But even in a city built on heritage, modern Munich’s edgy art, fast cars, and glass-built skyscrapers only add to the endless list of things to see between bites of sauerkraut and brewery tours.
