Famosísima torre del reloj en Marienplatz en Munich. Sehr berühmter Glockenturm am Marienplatz in München. Very famous clock tower at Marienplatz in Munich. Tour de l'horloge très célèbre à Marienplatz à Munich. 非常著名的鐘樓在慕尼黑的瑪利亞廣場。 ミュンヘンのMarienplatzにある非常に有名な時計塔。

This whole square is quite charming. The clock and bell tower dazzle when they play. This take place in the heart of the old town, so the entire area is quaint and old. The square becomes very busy just before the bells go off, but it's easy for everyone to see, since they are high above the square. The extensive Munich subway line drops off right in this square, making travel in and out quite easy.

Awesome historical experience combined with awe inspiring architecture. Leading up to Christmas the markets cover the Marienplatz. Don’t miss Peterkirche and Frauenkirche right around the corner!

This is the center of munich and nice place to go around for shopping and outside view of the Rathaus tower. Bad thing is they charge 3 Euro to go onto top of tower which is very small place. But you can have nice view of whole munich town.

Relatively underwhelming compared to the hype, still okay to check out when passing through but would not advise making any significant extra effort to see instead of exploring Munich.

A fun, cute experience that is uniquely Munich. The giant glockenspiel goes off every day at 11 am and 5 pm, so be sure you go during those times. If you try to go some other time, you’ll be disappointed. The event takes about 10 minutes in all. While bells chime, the figures in the glockenspiel move to create a pair of scenes including a joust and a dance. It’s free since it’s visible to all those in Marienplatz. Considering it’s one of the city’s main attractions, I would highly recommend trying to time it right to see it. The younger visitors will love it.

The Rathhaus its self is amazing. However, do not wait around for the clock to go off at 11, 12 noon at 5pm. It's notoriously one of the most underrated tourist traps in Munich. Spend your time exploring elsewhere!

Very cool to see and definitely worth watching in the hot sun to see. It plays at 11am and 12am everyday threw out the year and in certain months it will play once more. If your in Munich sure you put an effort into seeing the Glockenspiel play.

Glockenspiel is a fun attraction in Munich. This is a decorative early 20th century chiming clock built into the facade of the Rathaus clock and facing Marienplatz. Every day at 11am and 12pm many many gather in the square to watch the the Glockenspiel mechanical performances while listening to a concert of 43 chiming bells. What you see here are the re-enactment of 16th century events, making use of numerous copper figurines which perform in front of numerous spectators below. The first performance is that of a knight tournament set at the wedding of Duke Wilhelm V in 1568. This is followed by the Schäfflertanz (Copper's Dance) which marked the passing of the plaque that struck Munich between 1515-1517. The two shows last just a few minutes each and are really neat to see. Note, try to stand back away from Glockenspiel near the opposite side of Marienplatz when you watch the concert. This will prevent you from craning your neck too much and too long while watching. Further note, between March and October, there is an additional 5pm concert each day.
