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.
Full description
Altstadt-Lehel is the district that covers Munich's medieval core and the adjoining Lehel quarter along the Isar. Within it sit the Marienplatz, the Residenz, the Frauenkirche, the opera house and the pedestrian shopping streets leading off the square.
Lehel, to the east, is calmer, with townhouses, small galleries and quick access to the English Garden and the river. The area suits a slow loop on foot that mixes landmarks, courtyards and café stops, and it stays pleasant at most hours of the day.
