Customer Reviews
Great church and well worth the visit. The climb up the stairs is manageable, and the views from the top are fantastic—especially over the old town. At €5 per person, it’s very reasonably priced for such a great panoramic view. Definitely recommend if you’re in Munich and don’t mind a short hike up the stairs.
St. Peter’s Church is one of Munich’s most beautiful and historic landmarks; its elegant interior, detailed artwork, and peaceful atmosphere make it a wonderful place to pause and appreciate the city’s rich heritage. The combination of Gothic and Baroque elements gives the church a timeless charm that reflects Munich’s spiritual and cultural depth.
Beautiful church on the inside. Free to enter for everyone. Just please, like any other church or similar structures, be respectful and observe silence. Bonus is a climb to the top of the bell tower which offers impressive views around Altmarkt including the Rathaus. The climb is steep and can be challenging but very doable, with a few stops to pause. It was not so tight like many old bell towers.
