This is the new city center. We visit in October of 2024. There are a few shops and restaurants in the plaza. The draw in for us was the glockenspiel, the large clock in the center that goes off 2-3 times a day. The display was beautiful! So many intricate parts moving in detail! It was beautiful and definitely worth sitting around and finding a good spot to view. read more

I went to see the Glockenspiel, but seeing an Israeli flag displayed there made the experience feel political and uncomfortable for me. I was very disappointed and ended up leaving without watching the performance. read more

A beautiful, iconic building right in the heart of Munich on the Marienplatz, that just so happens to be the home to the world famous Glockenspiel. Surprisingly, the building is not that old, having been completed in 1905. The Neo-Gothic architectural style throws everyone off, making them think the building is much older, but no, it's new to the old world. A popular meet-up spot, it is definitely a must-see building, whether or not your are into architecture or history. It's HUGE, ornate, and impressive. 15/2022 read more

It hosts the city government and is located in the heart of Munich in Marienplatz. You can't miss it! Every day at 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. (and at 5 p.m. from March to October) - the glockenspiel in the tower of the city hall shows important scenes from Munich's history. Every evening at 9 p.m., the night watchman blows his horn while the angel blesses the Münchner Kindl (Munich Child- the name of the symbol on the coat of arms of the city of Munich). The tower is open Monday to Sunday 10.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. 15 minutes up to the viewing platform of the 85-meter-high tower is 6€. read more

What used to be the city townhall. Now, it's a very old building in Marienplatz and they use it for representative purposes for the city council. Lo que solía ser el ayuntamiento de la ciudad. Hoy, es un edificio histórico en la Marienplatz y se usa con propósito representativo del consejo de la ciudad. read more

Sure, you're here to see the Glockenspiel or the Christmas Market, but did you know there is an elevator you can take to the top of the hall? Facing the hall, look for the tourist info entry way (but don't enter it - this is just to get your bearings), and then look to your left - head to that first entrance on your left, through the wall, and look for a window booth on your left. You won't pay here, but you'll find the elevator. Take the elevator up to (I think) the 4th floor. There, for €2 or so, you can take yet another elevator up to the top of the building, where you'll find a spectacular view of the city. Enjoy, and enjoy Munich! read more

Absolutely stunning old town hall right smack in the middle of downtown Munich. The location is great since it's right off the Marienplatz underground station and it's in the middle of the pedestrian and shopping area .. and it's just a short walk away from the popular outdoor market. The architecture is beautiful and it's always great to see the lovely clock in action every hour. It's one of the signature places to Munich and I strongly recommend anyone who visits this beautiful city to definitely stop by, take some nice photos and take in all the lovely culture and shopping in this area. read more

Neues Rathaus - Town Hall Near Me - Munich, BY

Yes, this is a beautiful building that has a Glockenspiel that plays a couple of times a day. Everyone comes here to see it and yes you should too. It's crowded, so expect that. Everyone will be looking up at taking pictures of movies for the 10 minute show. There is an elevator inside the archway and for a few Euros, you can go up to the top of the tower and get a spectacular view of Munich. So much easier than taking the stairs over at St. Peter's church (did that too and the elevator is sooo much easier). I wouldn't want to be in the tower when the bells go off as I think you'd be too close. Why not a 5 star rating, well, it's a beautiful build in a city of beautiful buildings. read more

Neues Rathaus - A different view from the backside courtyard - Town Hall Near Me - Munich, BY

Such an amazing looking building. It is incredibly ornate, looks ancient (but really isn't), has the one-of-a-kind glockenspiel, and is on a very lively plaza full of people, shops, and restaurants. This is what I think of when I think of Munich, and I definitely will come back again some day. read more

Fantastic and beautiful. There is so much charm in Munich. The Rathaus-Glockenspiel is the staple of Munich and Marienplatz. It's the Times Square of NYC... LOVE. read more

This place is amazing. It is the new town hall, although it is not that new. It's only named so because the old town hall still exists, having been rebuilt after being partially destroyed. Anyway, It is gorgeous. A noteworthy tip is to make sure you're outside it at either 11 am, noon, or 5 pm. The glockenspiel goes off at each of these times, and traditional Bavarian figurines dance. If you choose to go inside, you can pay something like €2 to go up to the top. It's a lot of walking, but it enables you to see the entire city of Munich from otherwise not seen views. read more

We were here for Christmas Market and it was a truly magical experience to stroll through the little shop stands and sip warm Gluhwein under the stately, baroque spires of this beautiful building. read more

One of the most iconic places in Germany, which is right smack in the middle of Marienplatz. Everyone goes their to see the Glockenspiel play, but most leave WAY TOO EARLY. The Glockenspiel will make an initial noise and appear to be done, but you have to give it 5-10 mins to start the real show. (That insider tip is free ;-) ) There's nothing funnier than watching hundreds of tourists point their phones in the air, only to miss the very thing they came for by a few minutes. DON'T be one of those people. Stay and look around at the inside of the Rathaus and check out the nearby churches. There is so much to see in the vicinity which is why this place get 5 stars from me. This place will be a highlight of your trip to Munich, I promise :)! read more

Munich 101. Located right at Marienplatz. Built between 1867 and 1908 by Georg von Hauberrisser in a Gothic Revival architecture style. Lots of people hangout to see the Rathaus-Glockenspiel that's performed daily at 11am, 12pm and 5pm. read more

The New Town Hall or New Rathaus is located in Marienplatz. This is the main plaza where locals and tourists flock. CSD parade was held around this area as well. This is a great place to start a walking tour of Munich. It's central location and access to public transportation makes a great meeting point. read more

This building is absolutely stunning. It sticks out of the Marienplatz like a sore thumb and for that reason, when you come across it, it will truly take your breath away. The detail is incredible and well worth a good look. read more

While the Rathaus, per se, is nothing special other than the architecture, it is special for what it holds. Daily, crowds gather at 11, 12 and 5 to watch the mechanical Glockenspiel do its thing for about 15 minutes. While not all that entertaining, it is synonymous with Munich and a must-see. It is an engineering delight even if you get bored with it after the first few minutes. Take your video and photos for posterity while sipping coffee at one of the cafes. Additionally, you can pay a small fee to take an elevator to the top for some great views of Munich/photo ops then scribble some graffiti on the walls as generations have done before you. read more
