Overview
Munich through the ages – architecture from Romanesque to Modern.
This small-group city tour (max. 16 guests) explores Munich’s architectural journey with Philipp, a certified official guide and architect.
Discover how history, politics, and society shaped the city as we move through Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Historicism, Art Nouveau, and Modern architecture. Highlights include the iconic Frauenkirche, hidden treasures like the baroque Trinity Church, Munich’s first Rococo palais, and elegant Neoclassical and Historicist buildings.
The route continues along the scenic Isar River, where historic façades meet street art and contemporary culture, and ends at the Gasteig rooftop terrace, offering panoramic views over Munich—weather permitting. Insightful, accessible, and family-friendly, this tour is perfect for anyone who wants to understand Munich through its buildings. Best, Philipp

On arrival
We’ll meet outside, right in front of the entrance to the Frauenkirche cathedral.
Look for me, I’ll have a tablet slung over my shoulder, so I’ll be easy to spot.
The easiest way to get there is by S-Bahn or subway (U3/U6). Simply exit at Marienplatz station and enjoy a pleasant 10-minute walk.

Dress warmly for the winter weather
Wear comfortable walking shoes
