About this quest
Step into the streets of Munich on a walking quest that traces the city's extraordinary brewing heritage, from the medieval market squares to the legendary beer halls that shaped Bavarian culture.
Along the way you will stand at the foot of the Mariensäule, pass through the baroque lanes of the old town, visit the Hacker-Pschorr and Schneider Weisse breweries, decode the story of the Reinheitsgebot purity law, and arrive at the Hofbräuhaus before ending at a hidden garden fountain steeped in folklore.
This is Munich's drinking culture told as social history: curious, grounded, and best experienced on foot.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Beer lovers and visitors curious about Bavarian brewing history can walk from Marienplatz past Der Pschorr, Schneider Bräuhaus and the Hofbräuhaus at their own pace, solving puzzles and learning the story of the Reinheitsgebot. It is recommended for families and covers about 2 km in just over two hours. Anyone who wants a live guide to answer questions about the beer should choose a guided beer hall tour instead.

Frequently asked questions
Which Munich breweries and beer halls does the quest visit?
In walking order, the route passes Der Pschorr, the Victual Market Beergarden, Schneider Bräuhaus München and Hofbräuhaus München. Along the way you hear about the Hacker-Pschorr and Schneider Weisse breweries and decode the story of the Reinheitsgebot purity law.
Is this a self-guided city exploration game in Munich?
Yes. You play on your phone, and the app leads you from place to place, tells the story of each stop and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. There is no guide and no group to join, so you can start whenever you like.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Marienplatz and finishes at the Wolfsbrunnen, shortly after the Hofbräuhaus. It is not a loop, so you end up in a different spot from where you began. The full route is about 2 km through the old town.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Most players take just over two hours, about 130 minutes including walking and puzzles. You can pause at any point and continue later, which makes it easy to stop for a drink at one of the beer halls. It is best played during the day.
Can we play as a family or a group?
Yes. The quest is recommended for families, and one ticket covers the whole group playing together. Children who enjoy solving puzzles while walking will get the most out of it, since the route covers about 2 km on foot.
Is Breweries and Bars of Munich a beer tasting?
No. It is a self-guided outdoor puzzle route with a brewing-history theme, not a hosted beer tasting or pub crawl. You explore the city while solving location-based clues.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue, with no guide or fixed start time. You can begin when it suits you and pause along the way.
How many accesses does our group need?
Classic quests sell access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
