Another side trip I will be taking with the family I am staying with is to Marienplatz or St. Mary's Square. It is in the very heart of Munich. This city square is the best known plaza in Munich and also has been Munich's main square since 1158. It used to hold many tournaments and markets in the Middle Ages. There are a few aspects that attract many locals and tourists to Marienplatz every year. It has the most incredibly beautiful Gothic architecture. Also the Glockenspiel clock in the new city hall tower. It puts on its daily show at 11 a.m., 12 p.m., and 5 p.m. with its forty-three ringing bells and thirty-two dancing figures. Many locals say it is a great place to hang out or meet with friends. They say you can get practically anywhere in the city from it. It also has many restaurants to eat there also. Marienplatz seems like an amazing plaza to go to, and I am very excited to see and walk in this historic city hall.
