3.Death and Chocolate: Walking Tour of Munich’s Old South Cemetery

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 35 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $53Top rated

Walk from Sendlinger Tor through Glockenbachviertel to Munich’s Old South Cemetery with an English-speaking guide such as Katrina. Hear stories of plague, revolutions, accidents, and fallen Munich figures, pause for hot drinking chocolate, and finish where you began. The small group is capped at 15 people.

“This was such a cool tour! If you are looking for a tour that won’t take your entire day this is a great one. We chose this tour to find something a little more unique than the obvious sights in Munich. This cemetery has great history and every headstone has a story. You could spend hours looking up each one online and reading about their prominence in Munich. Our tour guide was great and we left with a ton of new information. We had an incredible hot chocolate afterwards.”
