Activity itinerary

Munchner Volkstheater

Discover the fascinating design journey of this one-of-a-kind building – a creation by my former architecture professor.

Bahnwarter Thiel

Immerse yourself in Bahnwärter Thiel, Munich’s vibrant art district, where the Beginner’s Wall and over 40 spray-painted shipping containers bring street art to life on the former cattle yard district.

Alte Utting

A boat on an old railway bridge? Yes, really! The Alte Utting is one of Munich’s most unique spots – a bar, café, and restaurant with an even more fascinating backstory. It was even featured in The New York Times!

Dreimühlenstraße

Travel back in time to when only fields, a canal, and a water mill stood here—now transformed into one of Munich’s most charming hidden districts: the Dreimühlenviertel.

Wittelsbacherbrücke

Stroll through the park along the beautiful Isar River and discover over 700 years of rafting history, as well as the river’s remarkable renaturation project that was completed in 2009.

Claude-Lorrain-Straße

A reminder of WWII, this former high-rise air raid shelter is now one of Munich’s most exclusive residential complexes. It stands as a powerful symbol—urging us never to repeat the past—while also demonstrating how light and transparency emerged through its transformation into a modern living space.

Untere Weidenstraße

We’re now in the Scherbenviertel—the “district of shards”—a once-poor area that was frequently flooded by the Isar River. Two small, beautifully preserved workers’ cottages from that time still stand as quiet reminders of the past. Now listed as historical ensemble, they also lead us to a nearby scandal involving similar cottages and the fight to preserve Munich’s architectural heritage.

Little Venice

Small Venice is a one-of-a-kind spot in Munich. With its charming houses lining the Auermühlbach canal, it feels more like a peaceful village than a city area—making it the perfect place to unwind before relaxing at the nearby café.

Gans Woanders

We’ll wrap up the tour at Gans Woanders, a one-of-a-kind alternative beer garden full of artistic flair. It’s the perfect place to unwind after the tour—and yes, bathrooms are available.
