Really cool to see, but extremely crowded like Times Square. Lots of big chain stores around there. More

Marienplatz is a must see for anyone visiting Munich. Sit and have a coffee while watching the Glockenspeil show. A short walk away is Viktualienmarkt, a wonderful outdoor marketplace that has everything! More

If you like history and people watching, drinking wine and nibbling good food, then experiencing this plaza is the right thing to do. It was pleasant to grab a coffee in one place, a glass of wine at another, tour the many historical sites and end up with dinner somewhere else entirely. Easy to get to via the metro or... More

Too bad the new city hall had parts of it covered with renovations going on. Other than that, it's a great place to take a few shots and have a beer! Not very crowded. Could have more lights at night. More

You have to wander through Marienplatz to inhale the whole experience. Stop at any of the restaurants (with outdoor seating) for great food....flower stands, fruit stands...wander over to the nearby meat markets, vegetable markets...truly European. Something I miss terribly in Canada! More

Fun and interesting. Crowded with people from all over the world, which provides some interesting "people watching"! When all the central church bells go off at once, it is a beautiful sound and changes as you turn from street to street. More
