Ad | If you’re planning to come to Munich and not necessarily do what every tourist does, save this post.🥰 . First of all, I recommend you sleep at Mercure Hotel City Center, for example, because here you are right at the train station and can take the S-Bahn to wherever you want. In addition, @mercurehotels work on the local conditions in terms of products and style. So we had a room that was decorated with great details to a gin brand. Breakfast was killer, with pretzels, weisswurst, and a great selection of toppings and bread. The staff are accommodating and super sweet. So I can really recommend it. 🫶🏽Now for the spots: 🥨Visit the English Garden (start from the Eisbach wave and just follow the paths to the Monopteros, here you have a great view to the city. At the lake you can feed the birds and let your soul dangle. 🥨 go in the evening for a drink with cool people in the Glockenbachviertel. Here we had chosen the bar Curtain Falls 🥨 marvel at the BMW cars from new to old, as well as great changing exhibitions in the BMW World and the BMW Museum 🥨 climb the bell tower ‚Alter Peter‘ to get the best view over the city 🥨 learn more about the Munich way of life and go on the journey of beer in the beer museum 🥨 enjoy a delicious Schnitzel at ‚Atzinger‘ and an ice cream like Alice in Wonderland at the ‚crazy ice cream maker 🥨 buy delicious products at the Viktualienmarkt or let yourself be drawn into the atmosphere 🥨 follow the history of toys in the toy museum (reopened in March) 🥨 you want to immerse yourself in an authentic quarter of Munich? Then take a look at the French Quarter. Well, how many spots did you already know?☺️ . . . #DiscoverLocal @mercurehotels #visitmunich #münchenliebe #münchencity #münchenstagram #munichgermany

St. Peter’s Church, affectionately known as “Alter Peter” by locals, is Munich’s oldest parish church and a site of great historical and architectural significance. History and Architecture The church’s history is deeply intertwined with Munich’s past. Originally a Romanesque structure, St. Peter’s was first mentioned in a document from 1225 or 1226. It underwent a significant transformation in the late 13th century when a more ornate Gothic basilica replaced the earlier Romanesque church. The Gothic church was dedicated in 1294 by Bishop Emicho von Freising. In 1327, a large fire devastated much of Munich, including the eastern choir of St. Peter’s. The church was subsequently extended and renovated, incorporating the characteristic Gothic elements. Notably, the church’s tower, with its open, all-around viewing gallery, is a popular viewpoint today. Throughout the centuries, St. Peter’s Church has been continuously adapted and modified. In the 17th century, it received a new baroque-style tower crown, designed possibly by Heinrich Schön the Elder. The church’s interior was also extensively renovated in the baroque style, adding to its historical richness. Unique Features to Experience on Site Visitors to St. Peter’s Church can climb the tower to enjoy panoramic views of Munich. The ascent is a unique experience, offering a breathtaking perspective of the city’s skyline, including the nearby Frauenkirche and Marienplatz. The church’s interior is adorned with beautiful artworks, including altars, paintings, and sculptures, blending Gothic and Baroque elements. The high ceilings, stained glass windows, and the Gothic architectural style are particularly remarkable. Inclusion in a Munich Itinerary St. Peter’s Church should be a key stop in any Munich itinerary, especially for those interested in history and architecture. A suggested route could be: 1. Start at Marienplatz: Explore the central square of Munich, which houses significant historical buildings including the New Town Hall. 2. Visit St. Peter’s Church: Just a short walk from Marienplatz, delve into the history and climb the tower for views. 3. Proceed to Viktualienmarkt: After visiting St. Peter’s, head to the nearby Viktualienmarkt for a taste of local food and culture. 4. Explore the Frauenkirche: Conclude your tour with a visit to the Frauenkirche, another iconic church in Munich. Overall Impression St. Peter’s Church is not just a religious site but a symbol of Munich’s historical evolution. Its blend of architectural styles, significant artworks, and the unparalleled views from its tower make it an essential visit for anyone seeking to understand the heart and soul of Munich.

St. Peter's (Peterskirche) history dates back nearly a millennium, making it one of the oldest buildings in the city. This is a landmark conveniently located just off of Marienplatz, making it convenient to include in your sightseeing itinerary. The church features a 91-metre tower making it visible from many locations around the Old Town. You can climb the tower for views of the city if interested. We very much enjoyed the interior with its impressive Baroque and Rococo style design, including delightful stucco work by German artist Johann Baptist Zimmerman. There is a beautiful high altar statue of St. Peter by Erasmus Grasser (1492) and apse fresco just overhead. The nave is lined with columns, decorated with gilded sculptures, historic paintings. The pulpit and side chapels in the aisles are worth a look-see as well. Interestingly, as you enter the church, there is a wall display with the history of the church buildings that have existed, been expanded and rebuilt over the centuries. This was nice to read and helped provide context around the various architecture forms that you can find as you walk around the inside and outside of St. Peter's Church in Munich. In the end, we liked our visit to St. Peter's Church. There are a handful of very good churches to visit around the Old Town. This is one one we would make sure to include for anyone who enjoys seeing old churches during their travels.

Munich’s oldest church with amazing architecture that leaves you speechless! It is really well maintained and still standing strong while also looking majestic. The backdrop of the altar is currently under construction but looking at the picture of it before makes the church even more beautiful. On the ceiling you can see an illustration of Saint Peter being crucified upside down as he felt unworthy to die the same manner as Christ. The illustration is truly captivating, with its vibrant color and exquisite attention to detail. There is an observation deck in the church that you can go up to and have an amazing view of Munich from fourteen stories above ground, though you have to pay 5€ to go up… 3€ for students. But I am telling that the view from above is worth the money. One thing is that since it is in the middle of the city and quite the icon it is now somewhat also a tourist attraction which sometimes makes you not able to pray in peace when you want to because people sometimes just sit and talk in the church. When you visit please do respect the people who are actually praying and keep your voice down… at the end of the day it was first a church before it was a tourist attraction.
