The Marienplatz is the heart of Munich and the site of the world-famous Glockenspiel. Every day at 11am and 12am (in the summer, also 5pm), the mechanical dancers in the tower of the New Town Hall come to life when the clock chimes. The building’s Neogothic facade is a favourite background for souvenir photos. Climb to the top of the 85-meter tower for a beautiful view of the city.
Do & See
Munich has come to be associated with Oktoberfest, the Hofbräuhaus, the Olympic grounds, and the Fasching carnival. However, Munich also has an international reputation as a metropolis of both art and culture. Its music scene ranges from classical to jazz and pop, and the many museums display impressive collections.
