What To Expect
Old Town Hall
I will meet you by the tower of the Old Town Hall and will explain you the role it played in the fortification system of medieval Munich. You will learn the story of the city foundation, will make acquaintance with its founder, and will discover how salt fostered the rise of what is now the Bavarian capital. Additionally, you will find out how the monk became Munich’s symbol and what that has to do with the city’s name.
St. Peter's Church
We will visit Munich’s oldest church and will learn the peculiar story of its tower adorned by 8 clocks. In the apse we will admire the high altar featuring St. Peter and will discover when his tiara is being removed and how this symbolic act is connected to the election of the Pope in Rome. We will also scrutinise the exteriors of the church, to discover a cannonball in one of its windowsills and to sight the only presently silent bell of St. Peter’s – the Poor Sinners’ bell, which tolled the executions held in old times on Marienplatz.

5.00Victoria was absolutely one of the best tour guides we have ever had! Her personality was perfect for this role. She is knowledgeable and has so much to offer. Even my 14 year old was entertained! We did this as our first tour and I would highly recommend doing that should you visit Munich. There is so much we would have missed should we have not gotten the tour first. 10 out of 10 for sure!
