What's included in Munich Architectural Time Travel From Gothic to Modern
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Frauenkirche
Where a Romanesque chapel once stood now rises the nearly 100-meter-tall Gothic Frauenkirche – Munich’s most iconic church. We’ll also take time to step inside and explore its impressive interior.
The Renaissance church is not dedicated to the Archangel Michael by coincidence. It tells a rich story about the Reformation, the salt trade, and the Wittelsbach rulers of Bavaria.
Dreifaltigkeitskirche
Thanks to the vision of a remarkable woman, Munich was spared from destruction in the 18th century. How exactly? Let’s find out as we explore the baroque Church of the Holy Trinity (Dreifaltigkeitskirche). Along the way, we’ll compare elements of Renaissance and Baroque architecture.

Meeting Points
- We’ll meet outside, right in front of the entrance to the Frauenkirche cathedral. Look for me — I’ll have a tablet slung over my shoulder, so I’ll be easy to spot. The easiest way to get there is by S-Bahn or subway (U3/U6). Simply exit at Marienplatz station and enjoy a pleasant 10-minute walk.
End Points
- We’ll end the tour — weather permitting — at the Dachgarten, the coolest rooftop bar in Munich. There, you can enjoy a drink and some food after the tour — and yes, there’s also a bathroom.
