From the classic Old Town and Altstadt-Lehel, to lesser-known spots worth adding to your trip.
Explore Munich's Old Town, the pedestrian core around Marienplatz and its neo-Gothic town hall. Walk to the Frauenkirche, then browse the stalls and beer garden of the Viktualienmarkt.
Step into Altstadt-Lehel, the district where Munich's historic core meets the quiet Lehel quarter by the Isar. Walk from Marienplatz past the Residenz and Frauenkirche, then drift east to the river for a calmer finish.

Walk the Munich streets where the Nazi movement began. Hear about the early beer halls and the failed putsch.
Walk through Schwabing-Freimann, Munich's former bohemian quarter in the north. Admire Jugendstil façades along the side streets, then slip into the English Garden or a neighbourhood café.
Cross the river into Au-Haidhausen, where tree-lined squares and French-named lanes give Munich a softer, more intimate side. Wander between Wiener Platz and the quiet streets nearby, then settle in at a bistro for the evening.
Settle into the Gärtnerplatzviertel, Munich's stylish hub of bars and boutiques around the round Gärtnerplatz. Browse the independent shops, then pick a terrace for an aperitif as the evening picks up.
Cross into Schwanthalerhöhe, the Westend quarter that begins at the Bavaria statue above the Theresienwiese. Wander its street-art-dotted blocks and multicultural eateries for a down-to-earth slice of Munich life.
Cross the Isar into Au, a low-key residential corner of Munich far from the tourist trail. Stroll past tall townhouses and local shops, then follow the river path for an easy, unhurried walk.
