Tour Highlights

• 
  Königsplatz

  Home of Munich’s first museum and impressive Ancient Greek architecture, Königsplatz is a showcase of Ludwig I’s endeavors to transform Munich into the Athens on the Isar. In the former NS headquarters in the neighboring buildings, Britain, France and Italy signed the Munich Accords with Hitler’s Germany. The annexed Sudetenland would become a failed attempt at appeasement before the chaos of WWII.

• 
  Maximilianeum

  Grandiose in scale, it’s home to Bavaria’s parliament and now also a school for the gifted.

• 
  Viktualienmarkt

  Time stands still in Munich’s gem of a farmers’ market.

• 
  Englischer Garten

  One of Europe’s largest municipal parks, this park and its beer gardens have become a Munich icon.

• 
  Jewish Museum

  This striking yet harmonious museum is much more than a story of the Holocaust.

• 
  The Pinakotheken

  From the pre-renaissance to postmodern, these world class museums in the "museum quarter" have something for every taste.

• 
  Deutsches Museum

  Germany’s first and largest technical museum, its hands-on exhibits are fun and exciting for the whole family.

• 
  Friedensengel

  Built in 1896 to celebrate twenty-five years of peace after German Unification.

• 
  Surfers?!

  Bizarre, tolerated, and not-to-be-missed are the surfers riding the waves in the Englischer Garten.

• 
  Siegestor

  The inscription on Munich’s triumphal arch says it all: "Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, calling for peace."

• 
  Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität

  Munich's prestigious university was also the site of the White Rose resistance movement, when students defied National Socialism. For distributing pamphlets they were sentenced to death.

• 
  Bavarian Chancellory

  The Staatskanzlei, or Bavarian Chancellory, is a harmonious mix of original and post-WWII architecture and sits nestled at the edge of the former royal gardens.

• 
  Hofgarten

  This majestic courtyard behind the former royal palace is meticulously kept, a great spot for pictures, and site of some of Munich's best street performers.

• 
  Max-Joseph-Platz

  Home of the longest ruling dynasty, the Wittelsbach family, we explore numerous courtyards of this extravagant royal palace turned museum. Adjacent to the formal royal palace, and at the end of Germany’s most expensive shopping street, lies Munich’s elegant opera house.

• 
  Odeonsplatz

  Beneath the illustrious Feldhernhalle and magnificent Theatinerkirche lies part of Munich’s darker past: Hitler’s failed Beer Hall Putsch ended here.

Important Notes

Each of our tours begins with a 30-minute orientation session in the plaza adjacent to our office. We will practice on the Segways so that everyone feels comfortable and ready to go out and conquer Munich. The Segway is appropriate for virtually anyone aged 15 and older, provided they possess a motor vehicle license of any kind. Minors under the age of 18 must either be accompanied by an adult or have an adult complete our insurance paperwork in advance of the tour. Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 15 and pregnant women will not be permitted to participate. Again, you must be at least 15 years of age to participate. IDs will be checked for those looking underage.

For insurance policy stipulations, we are required to take a EUR 200,- damage deposit per party to cover damages to the Segway. This desposit will be taken by credit card (Visa, MC, or Amex) or cash at the time of the tour and refunded afterwards provided no damage to the Segway has been sustained.

Additionally, City Segway Tours has a strict policy against alcohol consumption and Segway operation. Alcohol is forbidden on all Segway tours and any client suspected of drinking before or during a Segway tour will immediately forfeit their tour and no refund will be given.

Please also wear flat, comfortable footwear. Flip-flop sandals and high heeled shoes make riding the Segways more difficult.

Lastly, participants must weigh between 100 lbs (45 kgs) and 255 lbs (115kgs) to use the machine properly.
