Discover Munich’s Art Nouveau on a One-of-a-Kind Walking Tour with Philipp, official tour guide and architect. In the English Garden you’ll get hands-on and creative by spray-painting four postcards inspired by the most beautiful façades we visit — beginner-friendly and fun! We begin in Schwabing, once the beating heart of Munich’s bohemian scene around 1900. This district drew in creative legends like Kandinsky, Klee, Rilke, and Thomas Mann — and remains full of artistic flair today. As we stroll through leafy streets, you'll uncover stunning Art Nouveau architecture, flowing lines, floral motifs, and decorative details that defined an era of elegance and rebellion. We will bring Jugendstil — the German version of Art Nouveau — to life with rich stories, visual insights, and a designer’s eye for detail. Our creative highlight comes at the end in the English Garden: a spray-painting session where you’ll design your own set of postcards using stencils based on the façades we’ve explored. It’s a relaxed, welcoming environment — no experience needed, just curiosity and creativity. Discover Munich in a uniquely artistic way — inspired by the elegance of Art Nouveau.
