St. Peter's Church in Gilching

Marien’s Platz the best view from the St. Peter’s towerIn to the church you’ll be impressed as wellHighly recommended if you would be in The city center

It’s the oldest church in Munich. The alter and the ceiling are beautifully decorated and painted. The 93 meter tower can be reached via climbing the 306 stairs. The entrance is at the side door of the church. Not inside. The entrance fee is €5, can be paid with credit card or cash. The climb is not bad, the staircase is much wider than some of other bell towers I have been. The view from the top is stunning. From here you have clear sight of the most iconic two landmarks: Neues Rathaus (New Town Halland two towered Frauenkirche (Cathedral Of Our Dear Lady), and the charming city. Both new town hall and old town hall provide the birds eye view platforms. But no doubt the view from the St Peter’s Church is the best although it requires some physical climbing, not like the other two where there is an elevator to bring people up.

Prepare for lots of steps, but the view is worth the hike! Beautiful scenery, especially at night. MUST see!

This is alter peter the church of st. Peters.You can take a 5eur ticket to climb the 306 stairs and get a 360 view of Munich.The church in itself is also very pretty.

Breath taking church, from The ceilings to the walls. Service is active in this church so be mindful of your time of visit. There is no fee to enter.

Going inside the church is free, it costs 5 euros to go up to the view spot of the tower.It is tiring to take stairs (306 stepsbut worth it. You can see downtown Munich from all directions!

Amazing view of Marienplatz but the way up to the top was a bit terrifying because of those tight stairs.

For €5 you can ascend the Alter Peter Turm, going up the stairs (no elevator available).Finally upstairs you have a great view of the city and with good weather you can see the Alpes.On your way down you finally emerge in the impressive church hall.

Beautiful interior to St Peter’s, called into tonight and observed a very moving service.

Beautiful church in the heart of München. Calm and quiet place to reflect. Stunning clerical art adorns this oldest church in Bavaria. Worth making a visit

A must-see for local historical highlights. Climb the 300+ stairs for a beautiful panoramic view of the city from the bell tower. 5 Euro entry for adults.

The stair climbing not as hard as it seems. I am on a heavier side and do not exercise at all. There are places to rest so it’s not that bad. The view is well worth the climb

This was a beautiful church. I actually just stumbled into it trying to find how to get into Munich residenz, which I was unable to do. anyway, you should definitely stroll through it

Great experience. Much better and more interesting (lots of old interesting features, view into bellsAND cheaper (5 euros for Adult, 3 Reduced rate, and 2 for students), than the Frauenkirche South tower, which costs 7.50 euros for an adult, and has a boring lift plus a big room at the top, not open air.

Turn AlterPeterBest place form city center to get nice 360 Munichs panoramas.From the to pot the tower, after you climb houndreds of stairs, you will reach the top of the city center Munich.From the desks panorama, you can have an overview of the city, the sightseeings are awesome.Ticket price for adult: 5€During the weekends in summertime might be a bit crowded.The entrance Is from outside of the church, and then after you come down the exit is in the church, a beautiful

A very nice and historical church in the city centre of Munich. The view of the city from the top of the tower was absolutely magnificent. I would definitely recommend to visit this place !!

Lovely church in the centre of Munich. The views of the city from the top of the tower were amazing, definitely worth €5 and the 300+ step climb up! I heard that it gets quite busy, so I went first thing in the morning and it was quiet. Dont forget to see the inside of the church itself, its beautiful and free.

Recommend to visit the church during services. I was lucky to be there on Maria Himmelfahrt.The whole experience of Joseph Haydn music, beautiful design of interior and sacred service gives unforgettable sense of being part of the culture, history and art of Germany.

The oldest church in Munich, old bells the sound of that era, the old wooden stairs that take you through the tower to a magnificent top view also the relics of Saint and other superb antic sculptures and paintings are among also other things that specialize this church.You can witness the view from the top with just 5 euros with 300 steps. also you see the external architecture if you climb that rathaus tour.

Breathtaking panorama view after you climb up to the 14th floor.

It’s perfect place to see the city from the height. 306 stairs were worth it :)

Great view of Münich from the top of the Church tower. Would definitely recommend climbing to the top. Try to get there in the morning because it can get really crowded because there is only one way up and down.

Climb isn’t as bad as people say, great views over the city and the alps. No chance of falling because there are bars all the way around

Oldest church in Munich, quite pretty as well. You can climb the tower if you are willing to fight a million people and wait in line. Church entry is free, to climb a tower you have to pay.

Won’t lie that it’s an easy climb but definitely well worth the effort! The view of the city from up there was simply spectacular. And we got a nice view of the Rathaus Glockenspiel as well, I think it looks better from up here than at ground level. It’s also not crowded, maybe because not everyone can or want to climb so it’s a good relief versus the crowd down on the streets.

The best view in Munich! You can see the old city and beyond 👌

The tower (EUR 5 per adultoffers great views of the city if you manage to climb up stairs for about 14 stories.The way down ends in a nice church which would be worth a visit even if not going up to the tower first.

Thank God weve been allowed to have a day mass here during our visit. We can feel the age of the church just by walking around it and touching the wall and doors.

Here behind me you can see St Peter’s Church, the oldest church in Munich and presumably the originating point of the whole city 🙉⛪️📍 so cool, isn’t it? Just that knowledge makes it worth a visit 😁🤙

Now in Germany, traveling around places to see 😉😘St. Peters Church is a beautiful church in central old town part of Munich with lots of shops and restaurants around.Besides the 14 stations of the Cross images, alongside them also presents the miraculous birth of Christ. Truly interesting and astounding. Definitely worth a visit or prayer in it.

A must do in Munich! The views were great and super cool to see the city center from this view! Got some great pictures. Climbing up was difficult no matter what type of shape you’re in and cheap at only 5 euros

Great church. 5 € to go upstairs. Beautiful view. Negative test is required to go to the top of the tower.

Loved it ! You could think it’s a bit expensive but the view on Marienplatz in breathtaking and unique. The climbing and then the view is an experience you will remember !

Beautiful views from the tower. The inside is also very refreshing and light compared to other European churches. The panoramic view of Munich is beautiful with the red roofs and towers scattered throughout. Well worth a visit!Note: Visited prior to COVID; things may have changed.

I give out information instead of review: Free to enter Basilica, enter from right hand side of building, wait for bag and body check. After that take as many time as you like inside. To access top of building you have to walk out of Basilica, walk to most right hand side of building with an alley way to ticket office. Exit located right inside the Basilica so you can revisit basilica for pleasure.

Before the founding of Munich as a city in 1158, there had been a pre-Merovingian church on this site. Eighth-century monks lived around this church on a hill called Petersbergl. At the end of the 12th century, a new church in the Bavarian Romanesque style was consecrated, and expanded in Gothic style shortly before the great fire in 1327, which destroyed the building.After its reconstruction the church was dedicated anew in 1368. In the early 17th century the 91-metre spire received its Renaissance steeple top and a new Baroque choir was added.The church was heavily damaged in World War II during the Allied bombing of Munich.The interior is dominated by the high altar to which Erasmus Grasser contributed the figure of Saint Peter. Among other masterpieces of all periods are five Gothic paintings by Jan Polack and several altars by Ignaz Günther. The ceiling fresco by Johann Baptist Zimmermann (1753–56was restored in 1999–2000.

Church in the middle of the city. Buy tickets to access the high tower after you claim 13 floors ( approximatelybut the reward is amazing; a view of the city like no other! The mountains covered with the snow, the whole of Munich. It was amazing

The climbing of the church tower and the ultimate view it offers on the old city is a great experience. Only 3 euro and the ticket booth is open until 6pm. It takes about 10-15 minutes to climb all 300 steps and 13 floors.

Absolutely stunning city view from the church. 14 floors with steep stairs and narrow zone is not a choice for senior people. Strange set up as it can cause a mess inside. But worth a try to have the best Munich view

Extraordinary views of the historical city of Munich from above. Although you’d have to walk up a lot of steps, but it’s really worth it, and value for your money. I highly recommend it :)

The interior is very beautiful. The number of human hours put in to build and decorate it would be incomprehensible.The reconstruction of the building after the bombings in the war is very good too. It looks seamless.Definitely pay the few euro to go up the steeple tower. The stairs up have amazing character and the view is perfect for seeing the city. I could even see the Alps!

Relatively interesting architecture on the outside and very interesting on the inside. Construction began in the 11th century on the site of an old wooden church. From time to time, something happened to the church, and restoration work changed its style several times (Romanesque, Gothic, Rococo). During the last war, it suffered very much and restoration work lasted until 2000.

Do it! The view is worth it. From the top you can see all of Munich and mountains (maybe the Alps?). Be careful, the wind can blow your camera out of your hands.The walk up 14 flights will give you the buns of steel by the time you get up there. If you are going up the stairs, let the people coming down pass first... it lets you rest on the way up and there will be more room at the top. Go counterclockwise on the walkway because there is not enough space for two way traffic.

The best view of the city is here. You can see all of Munichs best landmarks in 360 degrees view. The tower is quite high. The corridors going up there are actually sometimes quite tight and going up is very tiring, but definitely worth all of it. Entrance was 3€ for adults and 2€ for students.

St. Peters (Peterskirchehistory dates back nearly a millennium, making it one of the oldest buildings in the city. This is a landmark conveniently located just off of Marienplatz, making it convenient to include in your sightseeing itinerary.The church features a 91-metre tower making it visible from many locations around the Old Town. You can climb the tower for views of the city if interested.We very much enjoyed the interior with its impressive Baroque and Rococo style design, including delightful stucco work by German artist Johann Baptist Zimmerman. There is a beautiful high altar statue of St. Peter by Erasmus Grasser (1492and apse fresco just overhead. The nave is lined with columns, decorated with gilded sculptures, historic paintings. The pulpit and side chapels in the aisles are worth a look-see as well.Interestingly, as you enter the church, there is a wall display with the history of the church buildings that have existed, been expanded and rebuilt over the centuries. This was nice to read and helped provide context around the various architecture forms that you can find as you walk around the inside and outside of St. Peters Church in Munich.In the end, we liked our visit to St. Peters Church. There are a handful of very good churches to visit around the Old Town. This is one one we would make sure to include for anyone who enjoys seeing old churches during their travels.

The oldest church in the Marienplatz area, it’s a large and traditional Roman Catholic, decorative church.It’s free to go into the church and admire the decorative alter, expansive interior, artwork, and even a number of relics including the bones of Saint Munditia, a Christian martyr, wrapped in jewels and gold.If you pay a few euro extra, you can get admittance to the church’s tall bell tower. The entrance is located outside. The steps up to the top are steep, narrow and there are a lot. So the trip isn’t for those who have trouble with strenuous activity or don’t enjoy tight spaces or heights.For those that do make it to the top, the view is more than worth it. You get a bird’s eye view of Marienplatz and many of the surrounding attractions. Plus, it would be hard to fine a better overview of the city itself. Don’t forget to bring your camera. Be warned, on busy days, it can get congested at the top and take a while to make the full rotation.I’d highly recommend both the church interior as well as the tower climb if you are able. Both are beautiful in their own wonderful ways.

The view from the tower is amazing. Work in hindered views you can see across 4th he cities in all directions. A decree of the local government not to spoil the skyline by having tall buildings. Be prepared for the climb, it will test your fitness, but there are rest points. But for 3Euro, unsure why so much.

Nice little hidden church. Amazing architecture. The stairs to the top are outside and it wasnt too bad of a climb. Would recommend to get a great view of the market and the cathedral across.

There was a traffic climbing up but it was worthy because u can see the best view of Munich. Very experience for me. Btw it was very crowded on the top.

I did not know you could climb all the way up to the tower so I missed that. However everything else was magnificent. The floor tiles, the glass windows, the kings mausoleum, the ceiling which is super high. Take time to look at small details like the hand craft work on the doors. Its stunning
