Learn how during the Middle Ages, it was the night watchman’s duty to maintain order and peace in the city, as well as to protect the citizens from thieves, murderers, and enemies. Hear how each night he would close the city gates and call the striking of the hour.

The Munich Night Watchman Torch Tour was a wonderful experience. Despite not speaking German, I still wanted to take the tour and was pleased to find a small group. The guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, sharing interesting and little-known facts about the city. To accommodate me, the non-German speaker, the guide made an extra effort to explain things in English. Additionally, he sang poems and created a spooky atmosphere, making the tour even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic tour and highly recommended, especially for those who are interested in learning more about Munich's history and culture.
