Munich's Marienplatz, with its New Town Hall, is the world-famous center of the Bavarian capital. Whether it's the Glockenspiel, the Christmas market, the Meisterfeier (Champions' Day celebration), or cheerful people from all over the world strolling around – there's always something going on around the Mariensäule (Mary's Column) in every season.
Marienplatz is the intersection of the east-west axis between Isartor and Karlstor, and the south-north axis between Sendlinger Tor and Schwabing.
It's an ideal starting point for sightseeing tours through the Bavarian capital, as numerous Munich attractions, such as the Frauenkirche, Odeonsplatz, and Viktualienmarkt, are within easy reach from here.With the muenchen.de Marienplatz webcam, you can take a live view of Marienplatz and see what's happening at any time.muenchen.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/orte/120347.html

The Marienplatz is the center of the city and somehow still, although constantly overcrowded, the good room - at the latest when FC Bayern celebrates the annual championship, which is noticeable. The tourists are mainly attracted by the carillon in the tower of the neo-gothic "New Town Hall", which, for example, is admired at 12 o'clock. The golden "Patrona Bavariae" on her Marian column is probably overlooked there, as much as she shines in the sun. The Munich meanwhile meet by the fish fountain on the eastern edge of the square.
