The Olympic Torch will be passing through Munich on its way to Athens on June 29. The torch will be carried along a 48-km route beginning at the Olympic Stadium. 125 torch-bearers will carry the famous flame for 400 meters through the city with two stops—once at Nymphenburg Palace and once at the Chinese Tower—for a short cultural program and end at the Marienplatz. For information on the route and times check the MUNICH FOUND Website in the days leading up to the event.
