Münchner Altstadt, Heritage monument district in Munich, Germany

The historic center of Munich features medieval street patterns, grand squares, and Gothic buildings centered around the central Marienplatz with its two town halls.

The district evolved from a market settlement established by Henry the Lion in 1158 into the capital of Bavaria, with the Wittelsbach family making it their residence in 1255.

The Viktualienmarkt presents local food traditions with numerous stalls selling Bavarian specialties, fresh produce, and regional delicacies across its extensive grounds.

The Munich Card provides access to public transportation and discounts at museums, shops, and restaurants throughout the old town district.

The Kreuzviertel section contains ecclesiastical structures and housed Augustinian Hermits, marking it as the religious nucleus of Munich's historic center.
