You push off from beneath the Old Town Hall tower and the city opens like a route map: narrow medieval alleys, broad ring roads, and the English Garden’s green lung stretching north. The guide sets the pace—easy, attentive—so you take in the square’s statues, the opera house façade, and the churning Eisbach wave where local surfers meet the current head-on.
