Explore Munich: The Heart of the Third Reich
Discover the history of the Third Reich with our guided sightseeing tour of Munich. Known as the capital of the Nazi movement, Munich played a pivotal role in the rise of Adolf Hitler and the formation of the Nazi Party. This tour provides a factual, in-depth look at the locations that were central to the development of the Third Reich.
Key Historical Sites of the Third Reich
During the tour, you will visit the sites where the Nazi Party was formed, offering a glimpse into the early days of this infamous movement. The tour includes a stop at Hitler’s Offices, where the notorious Munich Agreement was signed, marking a significant moment in the lead-up to World War II. You will also explore the key parade grounds used for mass Nazi rallies, which were instrumental in the regime’s propaganda efforts. This tour is a factual journey into the past, providing an opportunity to understand the roots of one of history’s darkest periods.
Experience the Lowenbrau Beer Hall
One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to the Lowenbrau Beer Hall, a site with significant historical importance. This beer hall was the location of the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, an early but failed coup attempt by Hitler and his followers. Visiting this site offers a unique perspective on the early struggles of the Nazi Party and how they eventually rose to power. This stop on the tour allows you to walk through history while experiencing one of Munich’s most famous beer halls.
Guided Tour of Dachau Concentration Camp
The tour also includes a guided visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp, one of the most notorious camps established by the Nazi regime. As the first concentration camp, Dachau served as a model for all others that followed. The guided tour of Dachau provides a solemn and educational experience, offering detailed insights into the daily life within the camp and the horrific conditions endured by its prisoners. This visit is an essential part of understanding the full impact of the Nazi regime.

Perched high in the Bavarian Alps, the Eagle’s Nest was Hitler’s mountain retreat and a key location for the Nazi leadership. This site provides stunning views and a stark contrast to the dark history associated with it, offering a deeper understanding of the Nazi regime’s operations.
