Twelve stops through Munich's old town, from the square the city was founded on in 1158 to the alley where Müncheners quietly refused to salute. Why Henry the Lion destroyed a bridge to steal the salt trade, how a town hall barely a century old convinced the world it was medieval, what the Glockenspiel figures are actually re-enacting, and the mark in the Frauenkirche floor they still call the Devil's Footprint. Ludwig and Maria hand the story back and forth as you walk — real history, no schedule, no group. Narration in English and German. Audio plays offline once downloaded.
