How do you visit the crypt?
Look for the crypt entrance near the front right of the church, below the altar of St Francis Xavier. The city’s visitor page lists €3 standard admission, €2 reduced, €1 for ages 11 to 17 and free entry up to age 10. Check the church’s opening information for the day you plan to visit. Church opening and crypt access are different.
What should you see if the crypt is closed?
The church has a ramp at its accessible entrance, but the crypt is reached by stairs. Inside the church, look up at the wide barrel vault. The City of Munich dates construction to 1583 to 1597 for the Jesuit college. Plan around services and visit quietly.
Where is it on an old-town walk?
Walk from Karlstor along Neuhauser Straße towards Marienplatz. St Michael’s is a separate church from the Frauenkirche. If you only have time for one, choose St Michael’s for the crypt and the Frauenkirche for the cathedral and its tower visit.
