Description:

Discover the notable landmarks of Munich's long history on foot, a great way to explore the area. Visit one of the city's leisure spaces at the English Garden, and look out for the surfers—a bizarre addition given the distance to the ocean. Your local guide helps you capture the spirit of the city.

Begin at Marienplatz—the main square of the city since medieval times. Observe the Gothic architecture and listen to your guide as they enlighten you on the historical monuments in the area. Munich's long 850-year history means there's plenty to see as you stroll along boulevards and through the city squares.

The verdant municipal park holds many more treasures to find. After the historically focused tour in the streets, enjoy the green paths of the English Garden—one of the world's largest urban public parks, bigger than Central Park, with an area of 910 acres (370 ha). Perhaps the most surprising sight of the day is seeing surfers riding the crest of a wave in an artificial stream; not bad considering it’s a 6-hour drive to the sea.

Complete your tour having gotten your bearings in the Bavarian capital and you are well-prepared to continue your adventure in Munich.
