The city's 866th birthday on Sunday is the old town's celebration mile with the “Münchner Kindl” spectacular and children's fun on Odeonsplatz
Munich on Sunday, June 9th, 2024. During the 866th city founding festival, the Munich Guest Guide Association (MGV) offers various free tours of the old town. Every hour on the hour, those interested meet for the Old Town themed tours under the motto of the Munich city festival "It's going around again!" at the MGV stand - which is located in front of the tourist information office. And the popular Weißwurst breakfast pint takes place today between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. in the “Marienplatz Beer Garden” - the city birthday Weißwurst costs 1.50 euros. Everyone would like to take a photo with the “Münchner Kindl”. For selfies, the “Münchner Kindl” Spectacular is available at the selfie spot on Munich’s Marienplatz in front of the New Town Hall. And while it's all Irish-Bavarian at Wittelsbacherplatz, you can also enjoy a beautiful view over the old town from the Ferris wheel in one of the 36 closed gondolas - wheelchairs also fit here - at a height of 50 meters.
