Discover the majesty of Munich

Hop on a magnificent guided bike tour of marvellous Munich - a city of stunning architecture boasting the Königsplatz, Odeonsplatz and Hofbräuhaus! Enjoy the benefits of bike rental and a family-friendly day tour suitable for children.

Your sensational bike tour of Munich begins at Königsplatz, a stunning square built in the style of European Neoclassicism with abundant references to Athens’ Acropolis, and boasting its beautiful Propyläen Gate. You’ll ride onto Odeonsplatz, built to impress, and named after the former concert hall, The Odeon, on its northwestern side. You’ll be amazed by the magnificent dome-turreted building nestling commanding statues.

Your bicycle tour takes you on to Hofgarten, an Italian Renaissance-style garden offering splendid fountains, lawns, and vibrant borders. Riding into Old Town, you’ll notice its medieval feel instantly, and marvel at the Hofbräuhaus, a huge 16th-Century beer hall, as well as the boutique stores selling traditional Bavarian costumes.

Next, glide around the English Garden, one of the world’s largest urban parks, featuring stunning stretches of lawn, luscious trees, and even a waterfall. You’ll see nods to the Greek style again in the Monopteros, the garden’s hilltop temple. Cycling to the Chinese Tower, you’ll be astounded by this delicate feat of architectural beauty modeled on Kew Gardens’ ‘Great Pagoda’. The five-storey wooden structure, first constructed in 1789–1790, peers out dramatically amongst the trees.

Finally, your day tour takes you along the banks of the River Isar, a favorite amongst locals and tourists alike for its beautiful beaches and tiny islands offering sublime bathing spots in clear, crystal waters.
