About this experience

Experience a walking tour in Munich designed for families with kids. During the tour, families will explore the Old Town, where children can learn about local legends and fairy tales. The tour includes a visit to the Residenz' Treasury and the Toys Museum. There are three options available: a 2-hour tour focusing on Old Town highlights like Marienplatz and Frauenkirche; a 3-hour tour that adds the Treasury of Munich Residenz; and a 4-hour tour that includes both the Treasury and the Toys Museum at Old Town Hall. This tour is suitable for families looking for engaging historical content tailored for children. It may not be ideal for those seeking a traditional historical experience without a focus on children's interests.
