Germany: Munich Glockenspiel in Marienplatz
By sandra. Filed in Art, Budapest, Children, Cosmos Prague Vienna Budapest, Munich |
All roads lead to Marienplatz, the famous, historic square and the heart of the Old Town of Munich. 
Make sure to catch the Glockenspiel show at 11 am or noon (and 5 pm in the summer). The 43-bell Glockenspiel (carillon) is located on the central spire of the New Town Hall.
When the clock strikes the hour, a clarion sounds and colorful mechanical figures act out two dramas in the upper and lower windows. The crowd giggles when the rooster crows and the Count gets thrown off his horse.
If you like panoramic views, you can take steps or an elevator up inside the Town Hall.
