This wheelchair-friendly Munich guided tour starts with your private, professional guide meeting you at the well-known Marienplatz. This central, former market square is flanked by the Neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall) with its famous Glockenspiel that chimes and reenacts stories from the 16th century.  A perfect introduction to true southern German charm!

It was commissioned in 1840 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to honor the tradition of his army.

Accessibility Description:

I gave the Essential Munich Wheelchair Accessible Walking Tour a 4 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because it is mostly flat and smooth, with a few areas of moderate cobblestones. The curbs have cuts for easier access. It did not get a 5 star rating because the Alter-Hof and the street to the Hofbrauhaus are a little more challenging due to cobblestones. The total length of strolling/walking on this tour is approximately 2 km (1.6 miles). The tour has been designed to include accessible restrooms along the way, and your guide will have a special key to unlock them.

This tour follows a step-free and mostly flat route, with only a few mild slopes along the way. The surfaces of the route includes mostly smooth sidewalks, mild cobblestones, and in a few places, some moderate cobblestones. Examples photos of the tour route are shown below.

At Frauenkirche church, your guide will lead you inside using a side entrance with a wheelchair ramp and step-free access into the building.

On this accessible tour, your guide will make sure to make a stop at a fully accessible restroom.
