6. National Theatre Munich

The National Theater in Munich has gone through and witnessed many ups and downs of history. Since its foundation in the early 19th century, it has undergone three constructions and renovations due to fire and war. And it was not until 1963 that it was reconstructed with the original neoclassical design by Karl von Fischer, on a larger scale of 2,100 seats. The new stage has the third largest area in the world, after the Opéra Bastille in Paris and the Grand Theater, Warsaw.

Karlstor is one of the four main city gates in the medieval city walls of Munich . The walls here are famous and were used as city fortifications until the 18th century, and Karlstor is one of the great defensive structures and checkpoints along the walls.
