Hotels near Frauenkirche

The twin onion-domed towers of the Frauenkirche (Cathedral of Our Lady) are Munich's most recognisable symbol. Built between 1468 and 1488, this Late Gothic cathedral is one of the largest Gothic churches in southern Germany. The legendary Teufelstritt (Devil's Footprint) is still visible at the entrance - legend holds Satan himself stamped it. In 2026, visitors can climb the south tower observation deck for a sweeping 360-degree panorama over Munich's rooftops and toward the Alps. Free entry; tower EUR 7.50.

Pro Tip: The south tower view is less crowded than St Peter's and offers the best angle on the Alps. On a clear day (typically after rain), the mountain panorama from the top is extraordinary.
