Guided Tour of Munich Highlights & Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial

Discover Munich & Learn About Its History

Your expert local guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel. The tour begins with a visit to Munich's prominent squares, including Marienplatz, to check out the sites where Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 was quashed, and other spots including the Odeon, Feldherrnhalle, and Theatinerkirche. Stop by St. Peter's Church as you admire its 91-meter tower, and Hofbräuhaus – the most well-known bar in the town. Walking forward, lead by your guide, you'll reach the Alter Hof, the royal palace of Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria. As a last stop on your walking tour, be sure to see Residenz, the magnificent former palace of the Wittelsbach kings of Bavaria. Head towards Königsplatz, the city's large, neoclassical plaza. Navigate your vehicle through the English Garden. The next visit is Siegestor, often known as 'Victory Gate', a monument commemorating the victories of the Bavarian army in the 19th century.

Go Back in Time at Dachau

To continue, get in the car and go to Dachau, to see the memorial for the Dachau concentration camp. Learn about the SS's (Schutzstaffel) 'special treatment' of high-profile detainees by seeing the memorial's exhibition, 'The Bunker', exploring the ruins of Dachau's gas chamber, and touring the old prison barracks.
