The town hall is a marvellous building. Its main tower is equipped with a nice carillon which turns while producing music in some moments of the day. Visiting the internal yard and the inside of the building is recommended.
The beautiful and vibrant square named after the Virgin Mary, located in the Altstadt district, is also considered the heart of Munich. This is because most of the interesting sights of the city are concentrated in the immediate vicinity of the place. On the north side of it, for example, you'll find the town's New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus), an imposing 19th century Gothic building.
The mechanical clock (Carillon), which is at the top of the tower, performs the contest (and dance) of miniature dolls at certain times of the day: 11am, 12am and 5pm. At that moment, all the attentions and cameras in the square turn to the operation of the object, say, a little overrated.
A good tip is to climb the New Town Hall tower and revel in the beautiful view of the city, especially on a sunny day. Also visit the Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus), which is on the right-hand side. The site was destroyed by fire in 1460, rebuilt in the Gothic style between 1470 and 1480, and completely destroyed again during World War II.
We can walk inside to see the internal architecture for free. At the level 4, ticket of EUR3 per adult to take the lift up to the top and absolutely worth it. Amazing scenery at the top, just a bit windy and freezing.
The architecture is beautiful. View from the top is wonderful. But my favorite part, my favorite part was watching 500 people wait for the glockenspiel, not knowing that it doesn't work in the winter. It only works at 11am in the winter. Absolutely. Worth it.
The New Town Hall is a town hall at the northern part of Marienplatz in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It hosts the city government including the city council, offices of the mayors and part of the administration. In 1874 the municipality had left the Old Town Hall for its new domicile.
Beautiful structure, I can take a picture from anywhere and it looks great!
Breathtaking! Spectacular! Once I saw it I became speechless for like a min or so! Then I mistakenly entered the actual Rathaus! I lifted to the top level searching for viewpoint😂 Than I understood that it's not supposed for tourists because there were only personnel!) I'll never forget this little adventure of mine)
Breathtaking building. Visit at noon to see famous Rathaus-Glockenspiel show.
A must if in Munich. Beautiful inside building inside and out. In the winter, enjoy a gluwein at a bar across the Plaza while enjoying the view
Stunning building externally (we didn't go in). Be aware, if you came for the Glockenspiel, it only performs in the morning in winter (1700/5pm performance is only in summer). The Christmas Market is now finished for the year.
