About
Beer, Lederhosen and yodelling might be the first things you picture in your mind when you think "Germany". But in Munich and Bavaria people might try to convince you that you are not really in Germany, but in a unique enclave of a region. Let's see how much of it is true!
On our Old Town Tour you will travel through time from the medieval gate of the city, Karlstor, through the Marienplatz, see the famous Town Hall and Frauenkirche. You will learn about the local, yet world-famous way of clothing and drinking. And football! The story will end close to another city gate, where we will tease the dark part of the city's history during the 20th century. Ready?
