An Old Town Stroll
-
Morning
From Marienplatz walk through the pedestrian zone to Mazaristr., which will lead you to the Frauenkirche . Continue north along Maffeistr. to the Fünf Höfe complex and stroll along Theatinerstr. to Odeonsplatz with Theatinerkirche and Feldherrnhalle. Enjoy an excellent cup of coffee with a view of the Hofgarten at Café Tambosi. You will need half a day to tour the Residenz, but you can explore the palace’s many inner courtyards on your own. Cross the Residenzstr. to Max-Joseph-Platz and the opera and exclusive shops along Maximilianstr. Return to Marienplatz via Dienerstr., Alter Hof, and Platzl, just in time for the clock’s chiming (at 11am or noon). Walk along Tal to the Weißes Bräuhaus at No. 10 for a traditional Bavarian lunch.
Afternoon
After lunch, climb to the top of St Peter’s (see Peterskirche) and take in the glorious view of the Old Town. Then walk through the Rindermarkt with its medieval Löwenturm and right into Sendlinger Str. Although Asamhaus (No. 34) is closed to the public, the interior of the late Baroque Asamkirche (No. 62) will take your breath away. Keep left to reach St-JakobsPlatz, the Stadtmuseum, and the future synagogue. Drop into the Stadtcafé for an afternoon break. From Viktualienmarkt, just around the corner, go east to Isartor and the Valentin-Musäum (see Isartor & Valentin-Musäum) or south to the Gärtnerplatz district with its many pubs and bars.
