The city the monks named, grown from a duke's ambition on the salt road into the capital of Bavaria. Its old town rings a market square under twin cathedral domes, its parks turn beer into a public art, and its royal quarter carries a sober reckoning with the movement born here and the students who resisted it.

What each tour covers

• The Art of the Beer Garden: A walk through Munich, Germany that reads a Bavarian genius no other city shares: the art of drinking beer outdoors, under chestnut shade, on ground that rulers opened, again and again, to everyone.
• The City the Monks Named: Walk the medieval heart of Munich and read how a duke burned a bishop's bridge to steal a salt toll, and how a market seized in the year eleven fifty-eight grew into a great city with a monk in its name.
• The Movement and the Rose: A sober walk through Munich's royal and university quarter, the neoclassical stage the Nazis called their capital, and the ground where students and a lone carpenter refused. Two truths held in one frame, at your own pace.
