Description

Marienplatz is the central square in the heart of Munich; home to some of the city’s old buildings, shopping markets and landmarks, the square is surely the best place to start exploring this vibrant metropolis. The square used to be a market place in the past until the market moved to a different location, yet the square has remained an important part of the city. The new Town Hall, known as Neues Rathaus is the building that dominates the square. The massive Flemish gothic style building houses glockenspiel, a hundred year old carillon, which is without a doubt one of the major draws. The old Town Hall, which was rebuilt twice, is another impressive building in the square. This very popular square, home to many interesting attractions, is a definite must-visit destination in Munich and should be on every visitors travel itinerary.
