With promises of a closing story of sex, scandal, and (of course) beer, Sandemans New Europe walking tour in Munich is guaranteed to please even the most anti-tour person. The tours hold a special place in my itinerary, mostly as they’re free, and I’ve been on every tour they offer in Europe. Their tour guides are locals, share their own personal experiences with the city, and are incredibly fun to walk around the city with (forget that you’re one of 20 people they’re taking along). Munich was great as it allows you to see the city from more angles than the Glockenspiel and Oktoberfest.
The Glock is, however, on the tour, as is the Hofbrauhause, Frauenkirche, Viktualienmarkt, the Royal Residence, the New Town Hall, the National Theater, and more tips and history tidbits, including the tradition of beer gardens and Munich musts. You’ll get to walk down Maximilianstr, Munich’s version of Fifth Avenue, and do as the Romans (or Bavarians in this case) do with a lunch of white sausages, pretzels, and a certain beverage that seems to be popular in Munchen…
The tour runs three and a half hours and covers almost all of the city that there is to see. They also offer insight on the history of Munich (a rather remarkable city given how much of it was destroyed during World War II). As with all Sandemans free walking tours, you don’t need to reserve. Just show up at the corner of Bayerstr. and
Senefelderstr. (outside the main train station) any day of the week at 10:10 a.m. Keep an eye out for your guide, who will be in a red T-shirt (and also happily accepts tips). If you’re going to be in Munich for October, this is a great way to see the city while being able to focus on the task at hand. If you’re there any other month of the year, it’s still a great starting-point and a great way to spend your morning. As one can imagine, they also host a pub crawl as well as tours out to the concentration camp Dachau.
