An absolute must see, there is something about the area. I have been to Munich twice now and I still find myself walking around the marienplatz several times a day more

Marienplatz is certainly pretty, and it is an excellent spot to do some shopping or sit in a cafe and watch the people mulling about. There is a U-bahn stop located directly in the square, so it is easily accessible from anywhere in the city. While the square was pretty, I didn't find that it was anything to rival some... more

Marienplatz really does have that Wow factor. We arrived mid afternoon, having walked the length of the main shopping street from Karlsplatz. The town hall is a fabulous building and looked beautiful in the summer sunshine. By 4.55pm the square was heaving waiting for the Glockenspiel to come out. We werent disappointed. On the stroke of 5 the clock struck... more

Quite by accident, we found ourselves in the city of Munich on the occasion of its 851 birthday - on 13 June, I believe. I can only speak to the place on this occasion and the spirit and energy is quite something. The new government building (rathaus) is impressive and the dominant feature of the Marienplatz but there are also... more

This prominent public square, the largest in Munich, stands as the center of social activity in the city, much as it has throughout history. The Neues Rathaus or New City Hall dominates the square. Its central clocktower features a splendid Glockenspiele with medieval knights hold a... more

Everyone should make a stop here if in Munich. It's the center of everything and everyone. We didn't get to see the glockenspiel perform but that's alright. We did eat at several outdoor restaurants - all of them equally tasty. The Marienplatz was always crowded - it's fun to people watch from here. There are lots of public transportation locations... more

Every visit to Munich should include the Marienplatz, located right in the center of everything. From the square, you can see a number of beautiful sights, including the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall), Neus Rathaus (New Town Hall), the Glockenspiel, Frauenkirche, St. Peter's Church and more. There are also a ton of restaurants, bars, and shops to check out as... more
