Create an itinerary including Frauenkirche
The enormous, 15th-century Frauenkirche can hold about 20,000 people. It stands as a symbol of Bavaria's capital city and features a rich collection of artwork from the 14th to 18th centuries. In the nave, you'll find Gothic stained-glass windows and the tomb monument of Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV. Be sure to look for the curious black mark resembling a footprint near the church entrance. This "devil's footprint" survived World War II bombing. You can ask locals about the legends surrounding it. For views of Munich and the Alps, you can climb up the church's 99 m (325 ft) south tower.

  • Another beautiful church and recommend to climb to the top of the dom. Secret, you don’t have to go up a spiral staircase all the way, only a short climb to an elevator. This is worth the cost as you....  more

  • This is another beautiful church. The interior architecture is amazing with many motifs and high ceiling, the church feels awesome. Must visit.

  • The size of the cathedral with its 99 meter high towers contrasts with its very sober interior. It should be emphasized and appreciated that the construction works completed in 1488 lasted only 20 years: an absolutely incredible time compared to that of other cathedrals which have lightened the pockets of the citizens for centuries.
  • Beautiful piece of architecture. Towers are visible all over the old town. It looks better though from outside. Was expecting more inside. Still a great place to visit.
  • In addition to being the most important place of worship in the city, it is certainly one of the undisputed symbols of Munich, which is visible everywhere in the center thanks to its two towers. Honestly, I was a little disappointed inside, in fact it is very bare, empty, without many decorations. The story of the Devil is very curious. You will also find his footprint inside the church
  • I only specifically wanted to visit ‘the devils footprint’ but what I walked into was so much more. The church was amazing. The artistry and architecture were fascinating to look at and admire. It felt a little creepy touching the footprint though!!
  • You need to climb 91 very narrow circular stairs before reaching the lift; I was a bit surprised to reach the top and find out it is a closed room, not an open space. The view is great though Entrance was 7.50 and I think it is not worthy
