This is a beautiful and historic square in the heart of the old city of Munich. A lot of things were destroying in WWII, but there are still some beautiful buildings and churches here. The Neu Rathaus and glockenspiel are great and you can eat at the Ratskeller for a kitschy, delicious Bavarian meal.

The Marienplatz is the huge town square with many large restaurants adjacent to the square. Our first morning after arrival and room not quite ready we took a walk here which is about 15 min from the downtown Hilton. There is nothing like a wurst and Hacker-Schoor for breakfast, lol. So the Hacker Schoor is located in the middle of the square, a great place for people watching and enjoying fine German beer. We also visited the Hofbrau house and the Ratskellar over our 5 days, and there wasn't one meal we didn't enjoy. The architecture is amazing within the square well worth the visit even if not partaking in Oktoberfest, which is why we were in the city.

Love the square. In the morning there are lovely cafes to watch the crowds roll in and out. A few times a day you can view the kukoo clock display from the New City Hall, which looks old and in the afternoon and evening there are often musicians playing with many listening

It was my first trip to Munich and Marienplatz was a landmark that everyone recommended to me as it was not only located on the S-bahn intersection where I needed to change line to change for the U-bahn but I was agreeably surprised by the place's magical atmosphere at day or at night. It was always busy and full of possibilities. I went around when I had little to do and I found myself spending hours there just sitting and listening to people busking.

Marienplatz is a beautiful and busy town square in the heart of Munich. It is easy to get to on the metro or by bike. Come see the glockenspiel (it’ll be crowded then) and don’t forget to got up in the tower or toy museum for a panoramic view.

Fabulous city. Oktoberfest was fun. Stay in a downtown hotel, saves time. Take the hop on- hop off city tour. You get an overview of the city and go back and visit the places that interest you later.

Beautiful square which houses a Christmas market from late November. Helpful tourist information centre situated in The town hall building will give out maps and sell passes. The building's themselves are stunning to look at and the train station provides easy access all over the city and the airport.

Christmas Time in Marienplatz Square was Magical. There was a traditional Bavarian band playing Christmas 🎄 Carols on the balcony. Festive and fun. Great Christmas Market with lots to see and enjoy.

Loved the Christmas markets! They had a wonderful variety of things on sale, including some great food and the opportunity to buy gluhwein and take home the mugs. Would recommend going in the morning or early afternoon on weekdays as it was really busy after about 3pm. The area is also stunning - the clock is well worth visiting - and very well connected and near lots of the tourist attractions.

Marienplatz is the largest and most frequented square by locals and tourists alike. The new Rathaus is the major attraction in the square and it has restaurants, cafes and shops as well. During Advent it hosts the largest and most popular Christmas market in Munich. Definitely a "must see" when visiting the city.
