“Marienplatz is an ancient place in Munich. Many shops and restaurants surround the place. Marienplatz marks the onset of the pedestrian zone and lies just a stone's throw away from both the Viktualienmarkt and the Frauenkirche. The New Town Hall tower offers a magnificent panoramic view of the old town, reducing the bustling crowds below to miniature proportions, an effect achievable even by an elevator ride.
