A cool morning on Marienplatz opens like a stage: trams hum at the edge, the New Town Hall’s Glockenspiel clicks away, and the guide steps forward beneath St. Peter’s tower. Over three hours the city loosens its layers — medieval squares give way to broad promenades and then to the green expanse of the English Garden where the Isar’s old floodplain obliges the landscape to bend and breathe.
