A Journey Through Time: Munich’s Must-See Landmarks
Munich is much more than just beer gardens and Oktoberfest. This city has witnessed centuries of history, from its monastic roots to its time as a royal capital and its darker chapter as the birthplace of the Nazi movement. This walking tour takes visitors through the city’s most significant sites, including Marienplatz, home to the famous Glockenspiel, and the magnificent Frauenkirche, Munich’s iconic twin-towered cathedral. Stroll through the elegant Fünf Höfe and the historic Odeonsplatz, where echoes of Munich’s royal past still resonate.
Discover Hidden Gems and Local Stories
Beyond the grand landmarks, this Munich free tour also uncovers hidden gems and lesser-known corners of the city. Walk down Viscardigasse, a small alley with a fascinating past, admire the impressive Bavarian State Opera, and explore the grandeur of the Munich Residence, the former royal palace. The tour ends near the legendary Hofbräuhaus, where visitors can continue their Munich adventure with a well-deserved Bavarian beer.
This Munich free walking tour is the best way to experience the city’s rich history and culture with a knowledgeable local guide. Whether it's your first visit or you're looking to deepen your understanding of Bavaria’s capital, this tour offers an unforgettable introduction to Munich’s past and present.

Munich free walking tour
I am so glad we found out about the free walking tour of Munich! Our tour guide, Sarah, was a great guide and told wonderful anecdotes about the city’s history. We learned so much about Munich and this gave us a greater appreciation of the city! Thank you Sarah and Sandeman for the wonderful FREE tour!
It was my first time going to a free tour and I didn’t know what to expect. Our guide was Jax who made our experience super fun. He was knowledgeable and shared great insight about Munich, it’s history and hidden gems. I strongly recommend this tour in your first day in the city. It will help you locate yourself and learn more about the city. Hopefully you will have Jax to make your experience even better.
We did the free tour of the Marienplatz and surrounding areas with Sarah Owens. She has a lot of knowledge and shared it in an entertaining way. We walked a lot but not at a rapid pace so it was easy to keep up. This is a great tour to do your first day in the city to help orient yourself!
We had a wonderful time with Sandeman's free tour of Munich. Our guide Keith was funny and knowledgeable about Munich history and the local culture! It was a great tour and we highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to get a bit of an insight into Munich and what it has to offer.
This walking tour was everything you want out of a tour. He always found spots where folks could sit, had amazing stories, and gave great secret tips. Could not recommend more highly. Plus free, just for the tips. He was a delight.
Our guide was Patricia and she was really wonderful. Knew exactly what she was doing and had so, so much information to share. A walking tour is a great way to get to know where you are, because no one, not even a book, can explain it or show it to you like a person can. I definitely suggest walking tours for those who are visiting a place for just a day or two, because you get so much useful information at once, and see so much that you otherwise wouldn't have.
Great tour through the beautiful city of Munich with Ben. Entertaining, funny and learnt a lot about this great place. Would highly recommend! Up the Dubs!
