The Best Pub Crawls and Night Tours to Take in Munich
There’s so much to do and see in Munich that it can be a bit overwhelming to decide what to do in the evening, especially if you are travelling alone. The quickest way to make friends is to go on one of the many popular pub crawls in town. Alternatively, explore Munich’s beer culture at a more leisurely pace with a brewery tour or get the wits scared out of you as you explore haunted Munich. Whatever you choose, it will be a night to remember.
