Product Info

-What you can expect-
This in-app audio tour offers you a glimpse into the rich history and impressive architecture of Munich. Explore the magnificent Royal Palace complex and take a stroll along the awe-inspiring Residenzstrasse.

The walk starts at Max Joseph Square dedicated to the first King of Bavaria. Pass by the Bavarian State Opera House which can be easily confused with an immense ancient temple. After that, you'll plunge into the ceremonial world of the royal court and visit the Residence, which for more than 500 years served as the seat of government for the royal family. Besides, it's the biggest palace in Germany!

Having learned much about the lavish Baroque architecture and statues, you'll encounter another notable landmark – Feldherrnhalle, a monument dedicated to the Bavarian army. Marvel at the fabulous Theatine church and its interior while listening to the commentary on the Counter-Reformation. Then, continue your walk towards Odeonsplatz, the Courtyard gardens and pavilions, and the beautiful Neo-Classical Prince Karl’s Palace.

Finish your walk in an unexpected spot, standing in front of the gigantic construction of the Museum of Art built in the somber Nazi times. If you are ready for a memorable journey from the Middle Ages through the ornate Baroque era to the 1930s expressed in stone – go on and book the tour!
