Things to see around Marienplatz

Marienplatz is the heart of the city of Munich. Since 1158, this has been the city’s main square. Its a must visit when you arrive in Munich. The square has a column called the Marian column, which was built in 1638 to celebrate the end of the Swedish occupation and for having spared from the Thirty Years War. During Christmas, Munich’s popular Christkindlmarkt or Christmas market is set up at the square, the nearby New Town Hall becomes a site to enjoy free Christmas concerts and ring in the festive cheer! Day or night Marienplatz is full of activities and bustling with energy. We have visited the square both at day and night time and loved it equally. You can also enjoy a drink and schnitzels right here in the heart of Munich. Most walking tours commence at Mary’s Square. okay #eurotrip
