Guided tours

Munich and its beer

This tour will take you straight to the source of Munich's liquid gold: into one of the cities breweries.

Regardless of temperature and season: the minute a ray of sunshine breaks through the clouds, the Müncheners are folding out the beer benches. The locals simply love their beer gardens, beer festivals and, of course, their delicious beer.

But what makes Munich's beer so unique? Get enlightened directly at the source. In one of Munich's many breweries, an experienced master brewer will tell you all about the liquid gold, brewed in accordance with the German purity law.

You can't judge it unless you've tried it for yourself: at the end of the tour you'll be invited to sample a hearty snack and lovely chilled beer.

Live presentation on the bus is done by competent tour guide in German and English.

An additional audio system on board provides information in the following languages: Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, French.

Tickets are available at the bus stops and may be also purchased in Munich's Tourist Information Centres at the central station and Marienplatz (New Town Hall).
