In Munich's historic old town, a self-guided audio walking tour will guide you through 14 stops from Sendlinger Tor to the Residenz Palace. As you move through the streets, you'll step through the ancient city gate where a thousand peasants were massacred and peer inside an outrageously opulent church that was built as a marketing stunt. Along the way you'll hear local legends and quirky Bavarian traditions, from the Devil's Footprint at the Frauenkirche to the odd custom of washing wallets in a fountain. The route also takes you to the Hofbräuhaus, where you'll learn about the origins of Oktoberfest and the beer hall's role in allegedly bribing an invading army with beer to save the city. You can walk at your own pace and pause whenever you like. Stop for a pretzel at the Viktualienmarkt or sit in one of Munich's oldest beer gardens for a drink. The tour is aimed at first-time visitors who want more than a checklist and at anyone who prefers to explore on their own schedule while hearing stories you won't find in a guidebook.

On this guided small-group tour of the Alter Sudfriedhof (Old South Cemetery), you'll explore a burial ground that dates back to 1563 and served as the final resting place for some of Munich's most prominent historical figures. As you move through the peaceful grounds, you'll hear stories of the lives — and deaths — that helped shape the city. Along the way you will learn about darker episodes in Munich’s past, including the Plague, torture and execution, political revolts, events from WWII, tragic accidents and other macabre tales. You may also hear a few local ghost stories as part of the narrative. After your visit to the cemetery, you'll stroll through the trendy Glockenbachviertel neighbourhood. You will pass lively cafés and boutiques before visiting the city's best chocolate shop, where you'll enjoy a hot drinking chocolate. The walk offers a contrast between the solemn history of the cemetery and the vibrant contemporary life of the neighbourhood, tying together past and present in one experience.

This evening walking tour through Munich's Old Town comes from the creators of the multi award‑winning Munich Ghosts and Spirits Evening Walking Tour. As you move through the Altstadt at night, you'll trace the ruins on the city wall and visit new sites where the guides uncover chilling tales not included in their other dark‑history experiences. The tour covers everything from medieval accounts of torture and mysterious hauntings to stories of diabolical dictators, ghostly passengers, demons, witches and even monkey‑related kidnappings. Along the way you'll hear well‑researched stories tied to real haunted locations, told by guides who designed this route “for true believers”. The experience deliberately avoids gimmicks: there are no costumes, hired actors or cheap jump‑scares. As such, be aware that any cloaked or dark, shadowy figures you notice nearby are not a living part of the tour.
