Begin your guided tour in Marienplatz. From there, take a walk through the most important events of the Third Reich. After making your way to Odeonsplatz, visit the Hofbräuhaus and delve into the history of Hitler's putsch and the origins of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

Continue to the front of the Haus der Kunst, which was the first propaganda building in Nazi Germany. Hear stories from your guide about the influence of the regime on art and the banning of degenerate art.

Discover the German Resistance Movement and learn about protagonists such as Georg Elser and the White Rose. Afterward, reach the Fuhrerbau, the place where the Munich Agreement was signed in 1938, before concluding the tour at Konigsplatz.

Day 4: Full Day Berchtesgaden and Eagle's Nest Tour

Take a full-day tour from Munich to Hitler's mountain retreat, located in the mountains above Berchtesgaden. Presented to him in 1939 as a 50th birthday present, the mountain chalet took 13 months to complete and includes an elevator bored through a tunnel in the rocks to reach the entrance.

You will depart from Munich and drive along some of the most scenic roads in the German Alps. On arrival, a special bus will take you up to the Eagle´s Nest entrance area, where you will ride the elevator to the mountain peak, and into Eagle´s Nest itself.

Look at beautiful views over the Alps, with free time on your own to explore. The lower rooms can be visited with an English-speaking guide, and offer views of the building's past through plate-glass windows.

Graffiti left by Allied troops is clearly visible in the surrounding woodwork. A large fireplace in the restaurant shows severe damage along its lower edges, where soldiers have smashed off small shards of marble as souvenirs. Hitler's small study is now used as a store room for the cafeteria.

After the tour, you will get more free time to go to the NS-Documentation-Center in Berchtesgaden, before the drive back to Munich.

Your day begins with a hotel lobby rendezvous, where your guide will greet you and start the day’s adventure to discover the best of Munich, one of Germany's most visually striking and culturally impressive cities. After a private vehicle and driver transfers you to city's west side, you’ll explore Nymphenburg Palace, a remarkable 17th century marvel renowned for its Baroque façade, lavish interiors and sprawling public gardens.

On the way back into town, you'll make a quick stop at Olympic Park. Constructed in 1972 to host the summer games and the site of the well-document tragedy, today it is a popular park and the Track and Field Stadium is worth seeing first-hand. You'll also make a quick stop at nearby BMW World to catch a glimpse of the engineering feats behind the makers of one of Europe’s most celebrated automobile brands.

Having explored the north-west of Munich, you'll drive into the heart of the city beginning with a stroll through English Garden, one of the world’s largest public parks. A top highlight is the Eisbach Wave, a permanent rapid where local surfers meet to test their skills. After a stop for lunch, you’ll delve into the city’s past while exploring its car-free historic core on foot.

At Marienplatz, Munich’s central square, a host of outstanding buildings including both the New and Old City Hall and the famed Glockenspiel adorn the perimeter, dazzling visitors and locals alike. If you’re visiting during the top of the hour, the chimes of the Glockenspiel will ring aloud, and on certain hours, re-enact two 16th century stories: The Marriage of Duke Wilhelm V and The Coopers’ Dance.

Neighboring Marienplatz is Viktualienmarkt, the traditional market square where Munich residents go to purchase a wide range of fresh specialties. In both Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt, you’ll be led to a range of shops and curios based on your personal interests and then left to your own devices after bidding farewell to your guide.
