Capital of Bavaria, retaining the ancient charm of the former Kingdom of Bavaria ❤️ Marienplatz ✅ Center of Munich Located in the center of Munich's old town, the city's new and old town halls are located here. Every morning, the clock tower on the square rings at 11:00, 12:00, and 17:00, and the puppets come out of the clock to perform, which is very interesting. ❤️ New Town Hall ✅ Interesting clock tower Located on the north side of Marienplatz, to the left of the Old Town Hall, it was built in the 19th century. The brown-black Gothic building is characterized by vertical lines. The 85-meter-high clock tower is the most prominent feature, and the clock tower has the largest wooden puppet clock in Germany. When the clock rings, the puppets line up to perform, which is a must-see in Munich. ❤️ Frauenkirche ✅ Iconic building in Munich Gothic style, built in 1488, originally had a spire, but was destroyed by a fire. When it was restored, it was rebuilt with an onion-style roof with a Southern European style. The pair of nearly 100-meter-high bell towers are the most prominent feature. Climbing to the top, you can not only see the cityscape of Munich, but also the distant Alps. ❤️ Bavarian State Opera ✅ Germany's most famous opera house Built in 1818, also known as the "Bavarian State Opera", it is the most prestigious opera house in Germany.

This design is called the "rubber boat" by locals. ❤️ BMW Museum ✅ Learn about the history of BMW Located next to the Olympic Park, the headquarters of BMW, it is a testament to the history of BMW from its birth to its glory.
