Traveler reviews
Drew Young
★★★★★2 months agoYet another wonderful Church in Central München. St Michael has a lot of charm, and as one of the lesser popular Church's it is normally fairly quiet. Highly recommended
Matthew Guillory
★★★★★9 months agoA really beautiful church and well worth a visit. The interior is impressive, peaceful, and has a level of detail you don’t always see. What stood out most was the history—some of the fixtures and gaskets date back to the 1500s, which is incredible to see up close. If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend stopping in.
