About Marienplatz
Marienplatz has been the center of Munich since 1255 and remains as such today. It is home to multiple landmarks and attractions—including Christkindlmarkt and Marienplatz railway station—and hosts a few festivals throughout the year, including Oktoberfest and Christmas markets (the latter originating from an old tradition).
If you desire something unique, check out Munich’s Glockenspiel: an enormous carillon of 48 bells in the south tower of Town Hall (Rathaus). The clock chimes every hour on the hour; when you hear those familiar notes ring out over Marienplatz, stop what you’re doing and look up at its clock face! You’ll see little figures moving around as they tell stories about life throughout history…and even get involved yourself.
