Maximilianstraße & Maximilianeum
Maximilianstraße / Maximilianeum
Munich's most luxurious boulevard, lined with luxury boutiques and theatres, ending at the Maximilianeum parliament building across the Isar.
Maximilianstraße was built in the mid-19th century by King Maximilian II in the 'Maximilian style', which blends Gothic and Italian Renaissance elements. It runs about 1 km east from the National Theatre (Bavarian State Opera), and along the way are international luxury boutiques, the Four Seasons Hotel and the Cuvilliés Theatre. At the far end of the avenue, across the Isar, stands the Maximilianeum on a rise. It now houses the Bavarian State Parliament, and its arcades look especially beautiful in the evening sun. Walk north along the river to reach the Angel of Peace (Friedensengel) column. The street is easy to explore on foot, and tram 19 runs along it.
