Daily life and culture in Germany

Discover daily life and culture in Germany on this live-streamed virtual walking tour of Munich.

Munich, the capital of Bavaria, and one of Germany's largest cities owes much of its appeal to its proximity to the beautiful Bavarian Highlands. Even though Munich was not one of Germany's oldest towns, its history can be traced back to a monastery founded before the city's formal founding in 1158. Munich has had a significant influence on cultural and political development in Germany. The city is now proud of its position as one of Europe's major business and conference destinations, and it is still a popular school excursion location for children from across the world.

On this informative, hands-on live session, you'll get to see the city and its magic firsthand. While the Bavarian capital has a skyline dominated by church spires, Munich retains a well-defined old town with narrow alleyways winding away from central Marienplatz square. The best way to explore this historic heartland is on foot

The city's rapid expansion made it into an important arts and trade center as well as a religious center. The city's many remaining churches, including the ancient inner-city church constructed during the 1300s, the iconic cathedral (also the city's most recognizable structure), and the huge Baroque Michaelskirche, are hard to miss.

But Munich is more than just churches. It has a rich historical heritage reflected in its impressive museums, many of which are located on the famous Promenade, or Odeonsplatz--the grand square immediately west of the city center that is home to several significant buildings including the Residenz and the National Theater.

Another attraction of Munich as one of Germany's most popular tourist destinations is its historical city center. It's a pleasure to stroll around the city's big open square, the Marienplatz, which features fascinating ancient architecture dating back to medieval times.

Furthermore, there are plenty of shops with local products near attractions like mountains or lakes. The Altstadt is especially worth visiting since it is home to most of the city's major sights including several museums and contemporary art galleries. With this in mind, it's easy to understand why Munich necessitates more than a day to experience fully.
