Welcome to Munich!

In 2026 you are once again warmly invited to join charming walks and guided tours exploring Munich’s fascinating royal past. Easily accessible from the city centre, the magnificent palaces offer a vivid insight into courtly life during the age of absolutism. A varied walking tour is the perfect introduction to Munich’s remarkable transformation—from a modest medieval settlement to a royal residence, the capital of Bavaria, and today a vibrant centre of art and culture with numerous museums, collections, universities, and international businesses. The Bavarian State Collections present an impressive spectrum of art, ranging from antiquity to the present day. Beyond the city, richly decorated Baroque churches in Upper Bavaria and well-preserved medieval towns such as Rothenburg along the Romantic Road invite visitors to discover the cultural landscape of southern Germany. Munich also played a significant and troubling role in 20th-century history. It was here that Adolf Hitler founded the Nazi Party and established the city as the so-called “Capital of the Nazi Movement.” A dedicated historical walking tour sheds light on Munich’s political climate during the 1920s and 1930s—years marked by crisis, frustration, and uncertainty that fostered radicalisation and ultimately enabled Hitler’s dictatorship to take hold.
