[2024 Munich Attraction] Travel Guide for Marienplatz (Updated Nov)

Munich Old Town Citywalk Copy this route directly!

I really like the city of Munich, the historical charm in the old town is particularly strong, with one church and Gothic building after another, making it very suitable for a leisurely stroll. The main attractions are all in the old town Altstadt. 🏷️Recommended duration: 1 day 🏷️Route: Karlstor👉Burgersaalkirche👉Burgersaalkirche👉Marienplatz👉St. Peter's Church👉Frauenkirche👉Munich Residenz👉Hofgarten👉Odeonsplatz 🌟Marienplatz The Marian Column, New Town Hall, Fish Fountain, and other landmark buildings tell the story of this city; there are also many restaurants around. Rococo style, great for photos. 【New Town Hall】 The most eye-catching feature of the New Town Hall is the Glockenspiel performance. The carillon rings at 11:00, 12:00, and 17:00 from March to October, with six different tunes, now fully powered by solar energy. We happened to catch the 12:00 performance~ very healing. 🌟Climbing the 'Big Three' in Munich's Old Town The New Town Hall, Frauenkirche, and St. Peter's Church all offer views from their towers. Since 2012, the Frauenkirche's tower has been closed for renovation, and it is not the best angle. From St. Peter's Church, you can simultaneously view Marienplatz. 🌟Munich Residenz Equivalent to the Forbidden City, it is the largest palace located within a city in Germany. The interior is grand and great for photos. ‼️Tips: 1. There are no fixed guided tours, but you can rent a free audio guide with English and German introductions; 2. You can take photos during the visit but cannot use flash or tripods; 3. Large bags are not allowed inside, but you can use the free storage at the ticket office; 4. You can only bring a plastic bottle of drink under 0.5 liters inside, no other food is allowed, and there are no restaurants or cafes inside the museum. 🌟Odeonsplatz Compared to the old town, there are not many tourists here. In fact, the area covered by Odeonsplatz is very large, including the Hofgarten, Feldherrnhalle, and Theatinerkirche. The northern edge of the Hofgarten and the starting point of Ludwigstraße are also included. 🍴Restaurants Alois Dallmayr: A Michelin two-star restaurant with over three hundred years of history. Great environment and delicious desserts. 🛍️Maximilianstraße This street is now the most famous luxury shopping street in Munich's old town, and also home to one of Munich's most famous five-star hotels, the Four Seasons Hotel. The eastern section of Maximilianstraße is more historical in appearance, and after crossing the old town ring road, Maximilianstraße becomes wide and grand, with lush green spaces in the middle and harmonious architectural styles hidden behind the trees.

@ MARIENPLATZ, MUNICH.

Marienplatz (English: Mary's Square, i.e. St. Mary, Our Lady's Square) is a central square in the city centre of Munich, Germany. It has been the city's main square since 1158. During the Middle Ages, markets and tournaments were held in the Marienplatz, which was originally called Markth ("market"), Schranne ("grain market") and later Schrannenplatz ("grain market square"). After said grain market was moved into the modern glass-and-iron Schranne near "Blumenstrasse" in 1853, the square received its new name, starting 9 October 1854. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2024travelwish #passionpassport

#celebratewithtrip Marienplatz in Munich is a place where to find these wonderful buildings! I loved the Rathaus (municipal building), it is a masterpiece! The Rathaus was built beautifully with all the intricate details. Marienplatz is accessible with underground trains, bus and SBahn (fast train). The place is very popular amongst locals and tourists. #marienplatz #munich #germany #europe

Went to Munich! Stayed at the Marienplatz area (which is Munich's city area) and it's very handy as you are in the central area. Easy to walk around - alot of shops and beautiful buildings! You see buildings like these commonly that it's insane. If you go to Munich - definitely stay in the Marienplatz area. There's so much to do and see over there.

#fallingforfall #wanderingme #ijustwander Munich’s famous square A visit in Munich usually starts with exploring the famous square of Marienplatz in the old town. I like that our tour guide made our group take a train going to Marienplatz and as we exited the stairs we are greeted with the views of the old town hall. The square is home to beautiful architectures, monuments, and historic buildings; as well as a center for many shops, restaurants and events. I love strolling the streets with the old and new town halls and wouldn’t mind spending a day or two here with its rich offerings. As we visited in October, a festive month for Munich as it celebrates the Oktoberfest, we saw many locals too in dirndl attire. We capped the night with a dinner and beer in one of the famous beer halls. Prost! 😊🍻🍂

Munich, land of breweries and Oktoberfest

Work Trip has to come to an end. But last stop the city of Munich! This is the capital and one of the biggest population here in Germany. Munich is fame for the many breweries and Oktoberfest, so if you love food and beers and parties, this is the place to be. There are also several place of interest here like the Eisbachwelle, where you will be able to do some surfing on a man made river only if you are someone brave enough for the cold, and the waves here are endless! You can also learn about the history of the Nazi Movement in Munich via the tours and tickets of Marienplatz. You can book these on the trip app which is a walking tour. Or maybe visit the Munich Residenz where this was home to the high rankers government of the barbarian rulers. These are all tourists attractions and will require an entrance ticket. #fallingforfall #germany #munich #sightseeing #historical #educational #castle

Marienplatz: The heart of Munich

Marienplatz (square) has been at the centre of the city since Munich was founded by Henry the Lion in 1158. It was the point at which all of the new city's most important streets met and for centuries it was the centre of Munich's life. The main attraction is the double glockenspiel which is a must see. The Glockenspiel is the clocktower of this building. The clock show goes on at 11:00, 12:00 and 17:00. Beautiful building and so huge. It's difficult to get the entire building in one photo. Definitely worth a stroll past to view it. #couplestrip #munich #germanytravel
