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
Starting and ending at Marienplatz, this 2 km old-town loop passes the Hofbräuhaus, Schneider Bräuhaus and Der Pschorr, decoding the Reinheitsgebot purity law in around 90 minutes. Beer lovers and visitors curious about Bavarian brewing history see the famous halls at their own pace, and families can join by day. If you want a live guide answering questions between beer halls, book a guided tour instead.

Frequently asked questions
Which Munich breweries and beer halls does the route pass?
The walk takes in the Hofbräuhaus, Schneider Bräuhaus, Der Pschorr and the beer garden at the Viktualienmarkt. Along the way you also pass the Mariensäule, the Asamhof Passage and the fountain at Rindermarkt, and you learn the story of the Reinheitsgebot purity law.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Marienplatz, at the foot of the Mariensäule, and loops through the old town before bringing you back to Marienplatz at the end. That makes it easy to reach by public transport and easy to carry on with your day afterwards.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for about 2 km of walking through the old town. You can pause at any point, for example for a drink or a meal at one of the beer halls, and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, it is recommended for families, and school-age children who enjoy puzzles tend to get the most out of it. The puzzles are solved using what you see in the streets, squares and buildings around you. It is best played during the day.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
There is no fixed time slot and no guide to meet, so you can start whenever you like. One ticket covers your whole group, and you play on your phones, following the app from stop to stop at your own pace.
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?
