Synopsis

"...arranged in chapters with very much a storyteller‘s approach..." – Destination Munich

There’s a lot more to the Bavarian capital than just beer and the Oktoberfest. Experience Munich off the beaten track with this explorer’s guidebook. Historic breweries and atmospheric crypts, wartime shelters and intriguing cemeteries, curious buildings and eccentric museums. From medieval Munich and the Wittelsbachs to the Räterepublik and the Third Reich. Locations include a Jugendstil swimming pool, Little Asia, the sunken village, and Hitler’s secret headquarters. Also Saint Benno, Karl Valentin, Thomas Mann, and Sophie Scholl. The ideal city guide for travellers who want to escape the crowds and go beyond the well-known paths, as well as for those inhabitants who perhaps thought they already knew their city. Published by The Urban Explorer, these city tales from new and unusual perspectives are aimed at independent cultural travellers.
