A short walk leads to Odeonsplatz, a square shaped in the 19th century and known for its role in political events of the 1920s. From here, the route moves toward the historic city center.
In the old town, the walk passes the Frauenkirche, Munich’s cathedral, identified by its twin towers completed in 1488.
