To explore Munich with a personal guide is to move beyond the guidebook, uncovering the city’s enduring traditions, architectural wonders, and stories etched into every square and spire.
Begin in the heart of the Old Town at Marienplatz, where the ornate New Town Hall commands attention and its Glockenspiel brings centuries of civic pride to life. Nearby, the Old Town Hall and St Peter’s Church, “Old Peter,” anchor the city’s medieval past, while the twin towers of the Frauenkirche rise above the skyline, a protected silhouette symbolising Munich’s balance of heritage and modernity.
Beyond the historic center, visit the Residenz, former seat of Bavarian power for over 400 years. Meticulously reconstructed, its opulent halls and serene courtyards speak to resilience, artistry, and grandeur.
Interwoven through the journey are the quieter, intimate moments: hidden courtyards, ornate fountains, and the stories of artists, rulers, and citizens who shaped Munich over the centuries. With every step, your guide brings history vividly to life, transforming Munich from a city you visit into a story you inhabit.
