About About the place

The Frauenkirche is a landmark cathedral in the heart of Munich, easily identified by its distinctive twin towers that dominate the city skyline. Originally constructed in the 15th and 16th centuries in the Gothic style, it underwent significant rebuilding after suffering damage during World War II. The church is known for its vast interior, beautiful stained glass windows, and the legendary “devil’s footprint” within its nave. It served as the former parish of Pope Benedict XVI and remains a functioning church, hosting services and offering a peaceful respite in the bustling city center. While often undergoing renovations, it remains a must-see attraction for visitors.

The cathedral is hundreds of years old and has a magnificent architecture. The murals and the walls are simply stunning. We got a chance to witness the prayer ceremony and it was divine. Do visit this place and do enjoy it.

This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.
