Third Reich Walking Tour of Munich in English

Duration: 2.5 hrs

Munich is one of the most beautiful and beloved cities in Europe today, but our 3rd Reich Tour Munich will show you that it has a tragic history. In the middle decades of the 20th century, it was known as the “Hauptstadt der Bewegung” – the “Capital of the Movement,” or the official home of Nazism and loaction of the national party HQ. This was the city that the Allied Supreme Commander General Eisenhower called “the cradle of the Nazi beast.”  

The streets of Munich carry the memory of all of this today, and we’ll walk you through those terrible times. Many original buildings survive. You’ll see where the party began, the beer halls where Hitler made his early speeches, where the Brownshirts terrorised all who stood in their way, buildings that still carry the physical scars of those years of terror and war, and the arrogant monuments built to the glory of the Third Reich.

We’ll tell you the story of Hitler’s rise to power, and also of those who resisted him in the name of democracy. Walking from Marienplatz to Königsplatz, your tour guide will bring you back in time, from the confused and angry days at the end of the first world war to the dark times of the second world war.

We show you the official Nazi Headquarters from where Hitler bullied the world.

Our Herrenchiemsee Castle Tour brings you to Bavaria’s stunning lakeland Versailles, ‘mad’ King Ludwig II’s sumptuous island palace. A boat trip to another world.

Travel by train and boat to the “Herren” and “Frauen” islands on gorgeous lake Chiemsee, close to the Alps. Palaces, lakes, mountains: the full Bavarian experience. We take care of all arrangements: you just need to relax and enjoy it all.

Join us on a train and boat trip to Herrenchiemsee, the stunning palace on an island on Chiemsee lake. Inspired by the Palace of Versailles near Paris, the golden palace in the picture perfect setting of the Herreninsel island on the Chiemsee lake was built in the 19th century by ‘Mad’ King Ludwig II.

Known as ‘the Bavarian Sea,’ Chiemsee is the largest of many lakes near Munich. We take you on a boat trip to two islands: the Herreninsel (location of the palace) and the smaller Fraueninsel, with its lovely Benedictine Convent, whose origins stretch back 1300 years.

In some respects, as with its vast Hall of Mirrors, Herrenchiemsee actually surpasses Versailles. With its elegant gardens and walkways and its luscious interiors of gold, glass, and porcelain, it is a visually overwhelming monument to opulence. It also reflects the eccentric and troubled personality of Ludwig with features such as the celebrated elevated dining table, which could be raised and lowered through the floor to the kitchens below so that the reclusive king did not have to see his servants.
