You can start the walk from the metro stations Karlsplatz or Marienplatz They are located in the very center of the city. We leave the station and find ourselves on a pedestrian street Schützenstrasse, we pass it and move towards the street Neuhauser Strasse where is the area Karlsplatz. On the map you can see our entire route.
Karlsplatz is a large area in historical center Munich, named after the popular Karl Theodor, Elector of Bavaria. In the middle of the square stands big fountain. Part of the square will be surrounded by semicircular buildings, between which you will see an ancient gate Karlstor, which lead to the old part of the city, and where you will find characters from the folklore of the city. This is where the Palace of Justice stands. Justizpalast and church Burgersaalkirche. Behind the palace of justice is the old Botanical Garden Alter Botanischer Garten.

All buildings on the street are decorated with bas-reliefs, sculptural groups, and tourists are entertained by street musicians and actors. On this street you will see funny sculptures of a wild boar and a catfish.
Walking along Neuhauser Straße, you will definitely see a beautiful building - this is the Frauenkirche or the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Frauenkirche), which is one of the symbols of the city and the tallest cathedral in Munich (99 meters). The cathedral houses the black marble sarcophagus of Emperor Ludwig IV of Bavaria. Rumor has it that the devil himself left a mark on the veranda of the cathedral. There is a square next to the cathedral. Promenadeplatz decorated with statues. Frauenkirche address: München, Frauenplatz 12
Marienplatz Square, located here business card Munich and a real tourist magnet - New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus). The city council sits in the town hall. In summer and spring, the town hall is decorated with fresh flowers, winter time next to it they put a Christmas tree and break Christmas markets. This is the traditional center of the city. At the town hall, you will certainly be interested in the clock with 43 bells and 32 life-size figures. Every day at 11.00 the figurines show a 15-minute performance (in summer time the show can be seen at 11.00, 12.00, 17.00).
A few steps from the New Town Hall is Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) which was built in the 14th century. Both town halls are made in neo-gothic style. In the building of the Old Town Hall, the famous speech of Goebbels was heard in 1938, which preceded the so-called Kristallnacht, when mass pogroms of shops and shops belonging to Jews, as well as synagogues, took place.
After inspecting the town hall, we move along the street Burgstrasse to the national theater and opera (Bayerische Staatsoper). You can, of course, look into the famous pub, but better visit postpone the beer hall for the evening, when it is fun and interesting and you can taste all sorts of beer.))
So our walk continues, and we go to the theaters on the street Maximilianstrasse. Maximilianstraße is famous for its chic boutiques and designer shops. Here is the most expensive store rental in all of Germany, but the boutiques of Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel, Escada, Hugo Boss, Gucci, Gianfranco Ferre, Bulgari are not embarrassed. On the same street are the most expensive and best hotels Munich, for example, Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten (you can book a hotel using this link, prices will be lower than those of Booking, which takes large commissions).
Next, look at the area Odeonsplatz. On the square you will see the Leuchtenberg Palace and the equestrian monument to King Ludwig I. majestic building area is Theatinerkirche (Theatinerkirche). This church was built in the Italian Baroque style. In the church you will see more tombs, this time members of the Wittelsbach dynasty. But most striking is the stunning façade with twin towers and marble statues of saints. Pay attention to the hall of the Bavarian commanders Feldherrnhalle (Feldherrnhalle) - this is a loggia in the southern part of the square.
There is a park next to the Odeonsplatz Hofgarten (Hofgarten), which is decorated with arched galleries, gazebos and fountains. In general, Munich is famous for its parks and gardens, not far away you will find one of the largest parks in Europe - English garden (Englischen Garten). This park has summer beer gardens, a Japanese teahouse, a Chinese tower, over 100 bridges, a waterfall, and plenty of fun and picnic areas. Another large park spread out on the banks of the river Isar and is called Maximiliansanlagen.
If you go north from Odeonsplatz along Ludwigstraße, you will see Gate of Victory (Siegestor)- This is a triumphal arch, decorated with a Quadrigo with lions.
Do you still have the strength after such a busy walk? Then you can walk to Königsplatz. This is a square in the center of Munich, where the main art galleries, the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek and the Pinakothek of Modern Art are concentrated, therefore this area is called the "Art Quarter". Attractions in the area include Villa Lenbach, museums, and the Technical University.
But I would advise you to go to technical museums, for example, to the grandiose BMW museum or in Deutsches Museum You will not see such museums anywhere in the world. The German Museum is the most major museum science and technology in the world! The BMW Museum is located near the Olympic Park.
Olympic Park (The Olympic Park) is a park that was built for the 1972 Summer Olympics. Previously, there was a training ground for the training of the local army. Now it is a great park for recreation and concerts and cultural events. You will surely enjoy the futuristic buildings of the park, especially its dominant 290-meter TV tower, which you can climb to view the city, take panoramic photos or eat in the revolving restaurant. Address: München, Spiridon-Louis-Ring 21. By the way, the BMW Museum is right next to it. Address of the BMW Museum: München, Am Olympiapark 2, entry fee: €10.
But one day is not enough to walk around Munich, especially for visiting museums or tasting real German beer in the shade of chestnut trees. So, if you plan to see Bavaria and Munich completely, then buy air tickets and go to Munich for at least a week, because this city and region are worth it. By the way, if you want to see the sights described above with a professional guide, then I advise you to read the article "", from which you will learn about the best company which organizes tours of Munich and Bavaria.
You can also explore the city with the guide "Munich in 1 day". The guide includes the optimal passage of the main sights and interesting places, tags on the offline map with navigation and route, tags with the best restaurants and cafes, facts about attractions and description public transport. This solution is suitable for independent travelers who want to see the maximum in the city in 1 day.
From its most beautiful, alpine side. We are waiting for small mountain villages, ancient cities and incredible natural masterpieces. But this is all in summer and autumn, and Munich is the first to meet us, greets us cordially, with freshness after the rain and bright spring greenery.
We tell you what to do in this city if you are here for just one day - passing through or waiting for a plane during a transfer.
Munich airport
Strauss Airport(Flughafen München "Franz Josef Strauß") is huge! So huge that buses run on its territory, and on several routes at once.
Passing through passport control after arrival takes longer in Germany than in other countries, here the border guards will ask you one question after another with German meticulousness: where are you staying, where are you going, to whom, what do you want to see, why are you entering without a German visa ( Germans do not really like entry in Spanish or Italian).
If time permits, do not rush to leave the airport - there is beer restaurant, which, according to many, is simply excellent beer (although in Germany it is difficult to find a place where beer is bad, but here it is somehow special), we highly recommend visiting it.
How to get from Strauss Airport to the center of Munich
The most popular way is the S-Bahn train. The departure station is located near Terminal 1. Trains run every 20 minutes. There are two routes - S1 and S8, but if you need to go to the center, then take any train, because both routes pass it.
In addition to trains, Lufthansa buses run to the city (the stop is also nearby at Terminal 1).
It is about 40 kilometers to the city, so if there are no traffic jams on the highway, you can get there in just half an hour.
What to see in Munich?
The old part itself Munich- it's already sight. Bright old houses, similar to gingerbread, stand in even rows, in the literal sense, churches and cathedrals rise on almost every corner, and around all this - greenery and greenery again - Munich unexpectedly turned out to be a very green city, slender rows of trees run along the streets and the embankment of the Izor River.
We started our walk from St. Peter's Church one of the largest churches in the city. An observation deck operates on its tower, from where a view of the old part Munich, and if you are lucky and there is a clear day, then from there you can see the foothills of the Alps in the distance.
The main decoration of this place, and one of the most beautiful buildings in all of Bavaria - New City Hall. Compared to other buildings around, the Town Hall is really new - it is a little over a hundred years old, but the Gothic style, an abundance of decorative elements and turrets, create the feeling that this building has been standing here since the dark Middle Ages. The New Town Hall looks especially impressive in cloudy weather, against the backdrop of heavy lead clouds, creating an atmosphere of ancient Bavaria, covered with legends.
Located near the Town Hall Frauenkirche– Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the bulbs of its two tall towers can be seen from any part of the city center.
Now one of the towers is under restoration, so make beautiful photos this structure failed, but even packed in scaffolding, it is majestic and impressive.
In a small area between the Town Hall and the Frauenkirche, there are many clothing stores, especially on Kaufingerstrasse and Neuhauser Strasse, so if you have time, then shopping in Munich can be very successful due to the large selection.
Due to the Atlético-Bayern match, there were a lot of police in the center during our arrival
The capital of Bavaria is compact and a walk through the central part can take 2-2.5 hours. All attractions in Munich in German neatly arranged one after another: Immediately behind the Frauenkirche - Marienhof square with a spacious lawn, where locals love to relax. Yes, yes, by the way, a great place to lie down, relax, eat a pretzel or two (a German version of a bagel, only more salty) and watch the Munich people.
Close to Marienhof Munich residence. We didn’t get there, we only saw it from the car window, already leaving the city, but judging by the beauty of the facade, which made even the most indifferent to the architecture of the trip participants stare at it, it’s worth exploring this place better. The Munich residence is a whole complex of buildings with cozy courtyards, once the dukes and kings of Bavaria used to sit here, and now a museum is located on the territory of the entire complex.
Where to eat in Munich? The most delicious attraction
The place that gave us the most pleasure (that's the way people work: cathedrals are cathedrals, but food is sacred) and became a real discovery Munich – restaurant located near the center.
The signature dish here is ribs in barbecue sauce, the signature drink is, of course, beer, and more specifically, Spaten beer. There is nothing better than getting wet in the rain, finding yourself in a small cozy restaurant, warming up by a blazing fireplace, sipping real German beer and inhaling the smell of meat being cooked for you. The portions here are unusually large, and the staff treats you so friendly, as if you were a regular or their old acquaintance.
Important: you need to book a table in this restaurant in advance, because it is small, and the locals love it very much and there are always a lot of people here. We booked a week before the trip, by phone, and even at the same time we were given a certain time, strictly from 18:00 to 19:30, because there were no other options. And this is on a weekday.
Conclusion
View of the Marienplatz
Munich is so colorful, immersed in greenery and elegant, and its inhabitants are so friendly and positive that even one day in the city begins to destroy stereotypes about stiff, pedantic Germans. He seems to be in anticipation of some kind of holiday - a fair or a carnival, while there is no fuss in him, he does not suppress as many big cities, but hospitably envelops you with the comfort of its streets and in parting invites you to come again, which we may do.
During our trip to Europe, we spent the whole day in Munich. I do not argue that one day for a city like Munich is negligible, but our route through the historical part of the city was designed in such a way that we could cover almost all the main sights of the city.
If you look at the map of the city, you can see that our walk was an open circle: from the building of the National Theater, through Odeonplatz, with a visit to the Frauenkirche and the Church of St. Hofbräuhaus. And now in order.
The first point of our tour was Max-Josef-Platz, where the Munich National Theater is located. This is also where the sightseeing tours on double-decker buses, but our walk was on foot. The square is named after Emperor Maximilian Joseph, who, after visiting Paris, decided to build the same theater here, reminiscent of the Parisian Odeon. True, for this it was necessary to demolish the Franciscan monastery that used to stand here. This theater was to become the center cultural life the city, in fact, it happened, Strauss, Wagner and many other famous composers presented their operas here. The theater building is made in antique style and decorated with a colonnade.
Our next stop is Odeonplatz. This is one of the largest squares in Munich and after Marienplatz the most visited by tourists. Here are three important attractions that you should definitely pay attention to. Firstly, this is the Feldherrnhalle - a pavilion in honor of the Bavarian commanders Wrede and Tilly. The Munichers themselves are people with humor, therefore they laugh at one of their main monuments, that one of them (Wrede) is not a commander at all, and the second (Tilli) is not a Bavarian at all.
Be that as it may, this open pavilion, modeled after the famous loggia in Florence (well, Bavarian architects liked to learn from someone else's experience), is one of the attractions of the city. On the steps of this pavilion among the lions, tourists are very fond of settling down, especially in hot weather. By the way, in order to make the square so large and representative, the Bavarian emperor Ludwig ordered the destruction of the old city wall.
If you are sitting on the steps of the Feldherrnhalle, on your right hand side is one of the most beautiful churches in Munich, Theatinekirche. This yellow baroque building (with elements of rococo lightness) was built by an Italian architect, also known for the reconstruction of the beautiful monastery of Ettal. It is interesting that the facade of the building with two graceful columns, which became famous, appeared here only a hundred years after the church building itself was built. The building is crowned with a large baroque dome, similar to those that can be seen on many Italian cathedrals. The church of St. Cayetano (namely, that is how it is correctly called) belonged to the monastic order of the Theatines, little known outside of Bavaria.
Opposite Theatinkirche is a pompous complex of buildings adorned with statues. This Residence is the seat of the Bavarian kings of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Construction began in the 14th century, and today this palace complex includes a dozen beautiful courtyards, very beautiful park, tourists have access (paid, of course) to several ceremonial halls and a treasury, where treasures collected by Bavarian kings since the early Middle Ages are presented. But due to lack of time, we did not get there. But we were advised that next time we should definitely visit the unusually beautiful Antiquarium and the Hall of Ancestors (we looked on the Internet, and it’s really impressive). There are lions at the entrance to the Residence, the paw of one of them must be rubbed to make a wish. Which one, you will understand without difficulty, as it is remarkably polished by tourists.
Events are also connected with the Odeonplatz square, which the Munich people themselves do not really like to remember. Here, back in 1923, Adolf Hitler and his associates made the first attempt to seize power (the so-called beer putsch - where did the name come from, a little later). Hundreds of Nazis clashed with the police, resulting in the deaths of three policemen and several Nazis. During the reign of Hitler, a memorial plaque was erected here, and every German had to raise his hand in greeting when passing by it. After the defeat of the Nazis, the Americans entered the city. They removed this plate, and the townspeople erected a memorial plate here in honor of the policemen who became the first victims of the Nazis.
You can walk from Odeonplatz to Frauenkirche along the Fünf Höfe shopping arcade, located in historical building. But only the façade has remained of the historical here, and in the passage itself you will pass under hanging garlands of plants, balls, and bright lanterns. Very beautiful and unusual.
Our next stop is the main cathedral of Munich Frauenkirche, built in an unusual manner for late Gothic, distinguished by its grandiose size and the legends associated with it. It is worth talking about this attraction separately. Here I will only say that this is the tallest building in the city, above which it is forbidden to build.
Then we deviate a little from the conditional circle to the side in order to go into an incredibly beautiful church Saint Michael. This is an incredibly beautiful temple with a snow-white facade, reminiscent of traditional town halls, decorated with statues of Bavarian rulers. But its interior decoration delights not only and not so much with wealth, but with grace, sophistication, sophistication. The white walls are adorned with sumptuous Italian high renaissance stucco. The glitter of gold, the beauty of the paintings, the golden altar - it's hard to look away from all this.
The church was built in the 16th century during the religious wars. The Wittelsbachs have always remained faithful to Catholicism, therefore they were zealous supporters of the Counter-Reformation. And this church was intended for the Jesuit order, created specifically to fight the Protestants.
Many representatives of the Wittelsbach family are also buried in this church (in the crypt). who ruled Bavaria for several centuries. Also here are the miraculous relics of saints, presumably Cosmas and Damian. At the entrance to the church, over a bowl of holy water, the Archangel Michael stands, as if protecting everyone who enters the temple and the church itself from evil. This bronze statue dates back to the end of the 16th century.
The church building was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War by a direct bomb hit. But it was quickly restored, and today, as a reminder of this, photographs of the building damaged by the war are posted on the wall at the entrance of the church.
Then our path lies to the main attraction of the city - central square Marienplatz. Passing by the Frauenkirche, we took another look at this grand building(although one of its towers was under reconstruction), and soon went to Marienplatz. There will be a separate story about this place, as it deserves it. I can only say that its main attraction is the unusually beautiful Town Hall, made in the neo-Gothic style.
From Marienplatz, if you turn your back to the town hall, you can see a fragment of another important sight of the city - this is the bell tower of St. Peter's Cathedral (Peterskirche). This tower is only six or seven meters lower than the towers of the Frauenkirche. The inhabitants of the city themselves call this tower "Old Peter".
It is noteworthy that the church consists of two parts. Its façade looks brand new, but if you go around the church, you will see an old, darkened building, battered by time. This is the old part of the church. The fact is that this cathedral is the oldest in the city, and the first Romanesque basilica was built here in the 12th century by the monks who founded the city here.
By the way, Munich is translated as "monk". There are a lot of different statues and figurines in the city, reminiscent of this. And the coat of arms of the city depicts a monk in a hood.
We walked around the church of St. Peter from different sides (we didn’t go inside), we move on. there are a lot of different arches, passages, galleries in Munich. Many of them are used as a parking lot for public transport - bicycles. In Munich, the owner of the traffic is the cyclist. You can rent a bike everywhere here - you throw money, you take a bike from the parking lot, you go where you need to, you find a bike parking place there and leave it there. Steal a bike? It seems to me that the Germans would not even think of such an idea.
And finally, completing the tour, we come to another attraction - the beer Hofbräuhaus. In addition to being the largest pub in Europe, and most likely in the world, it is also known for a very unpleasant fact. Remember, I wanted to tell you about the beer putsch? So, it was in the Hofbräuhaus over a mug of beer that Hitler and his supporters discussed the coup plan in 1923, which is why it got its name. Today at the Hofbräuhaus, things are different. Here you can drink several liters of beer, eating a luxurious pork knuckle with cabbage and potatoes, listening to traditional Bavarian melodies. Of course, everything is expensive here, but portions - wow, you don’t go out of there, but almost crawl out.
And of course, I can’t ignore one more point of visit, which is not in the tour plan, but which we found in our free time - the Munich Bavaria Fan Shop. There are only a few of them in Germany, and only here you can buy original club products. For almost 100 euros given without regret, Bernie's bear and a branded T-shirt with the name of Schweinsteiger left for Russia with us.
After two hours of free time walking around shopping streets Munich and the considerable euros left there, we had to return to Max-Josef-Platz, where the bus was waiting. It is interesting that you just need to get a guidebook and turn to the Germans with a question, you are immediately surrounded by always smiling Japanese, Chinese and very friendly and cheerful Italians, full of desire to help and show that they know the city.
Munich is not only the third largest city in Germany, but one of the most visited tourists. Someone is interested in the nearby Alps, someone is interested in Oktoberfest, and someone is interested in the capital of Bavaria itself.
It is not possible to get around all the sights in one day, so we will first talk about the most interesting places in the historical center of the city, and in the second part of the article we will talk about the BMW Museum and the Bayern football stadium.
