Experience Freising between Old Town, Court Garden, and Weihenstephan
This public city tour connects the historic Old Town of Freising with the traditional Weihenstephan Hill. Over 90 minutes, the tour leads through a piece of vibrant city history, past gardens, remnants of the former Benedictine monastery, and to the Bavarian State Brewery.
From Marienplatz into History
The tour starts at the Tourist Information at Marienplatz 7, right in the heart of Freising’s city center. From there, the route first takes you through the Old Town, where the alleys, squares, and sightlines shape the character of the ancient bishop's town. The tour shows how closely urban development, ecclesiastical heritage, and brewing culture are interconnected in Freising.
Court Garden, Apothecary Garden, and Green City Moments
A special charm of this city tour lies in the interplay between urban history and garden landscape. Along the Court Garden and the Apothecary Garden, a quiet, almost contemplative atmosphere unfolds. Here, the cultural heritage of the city is not only told but made visible and tangible along the way.

At the end, the route leads to the remnants of the former Benedictine monastery of Weihenstephan and to the Bavarian State Brewery.
