City Gates – Munich has four remaining city gates the Isartor (Isar Gate), the Karlstor (Karl's Gate), the Sendlinger Tor (Sendlinger Gate)and Siegestor (Victory Gate).

The Karlstor connects Karlsplatz with Marienplatz. Neuhauserstrasse is the main pedestrian zone in Munich with lots of shops and restaurants and it is usually very crowded and busy street.

Once you get to Marienplatz and Old City Hall take Im Tal Street and a five minute walk will take you to the second city gate Izartor. It was built in the 14th century. It now accommodates the Valentin Museum.

Sendlinger Tor is the oldest gate remaining today and Sendlinger Sreet will eventually get you to Marienplatz as well.

Siegestor or Victory gate is the newest of the four. It was built in 19th century between 1843 and 1852 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The gate was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt in the 1950s.
