Munich Tours

The capital of the German state of Bavaria is known for being one of the cities with the best quality of life in the world, but it also has an important cultural and touristic load that takes the form of guided tours and excursions such as these:

Munich is the third largest city in Germany and as such it is logical that it played an important role in the Second World War. To this day, Munich retains many remnants of what was one of the darkest eras in history; all of these are reviewed on the Third Reich guided tour through the centre of Munich.

This is a three-hour guided walking tour in which an expert guide shows you mythical places in the city of Munich that were very significant during this historical period. Some of them are:

Marienplatz

This is the starting point of the tour and is where the guide will explain an overview of how Nazism took hold in these and other cities. Near this square you will see several monuments commemorating the victims of the Third Reich.

Fuhrer Building

This is the 'Leader's Building'. A purpose-built building of great historical importance for Hitler.

Platz der Opfer des Nationalsozialismu (Square of the Victims of National Socialism)

This is the Square of the Victims of National Socialism. Near this square there are also monuments which, in addition to paying homage to the victims, also pay tribute to the work of the German resistance movements.

Ehrentempel

Temples of Honour, built by the Nazis in 1935; today only the remains remain.

Haus der Kunst

The House of Art. One of the few Nazi-built buildings still standing since the city of Munich was largely destroyed during World War II.
