Step out onto Marienplatz as the city’s clockwork begins to move: the New Town Hall’s Glockenspiel chimes, trams hum past, and narrow lanes funnel you beneath centuries of stone. A private guide leads the pace, stopping where the cobbles and façades have stories to tell — from St. Peter’s worn tower to the baroque flourish of Asamkirche.
