Holy Ghost Church

This cathedral is just one of Munich's many beautiful Rococo churches.

Reviewed By Moonamuslim

The Holy Spirit Church, at Marienplatze and Viktualienmarkt, in the center of Munich city center, is one of many beautiful churches in Munich and is definitely worth a visit, regardless of religion and culture. From the outside, the facade is already nice to look at But impressive from the interior. The festively decorated three-nave hall church in baroque style. The high altar, the columns, the statues, great and impressive stucco, as well as impressive paintings. Art in its true perfection. Let it take effect and enjoy for a moment. Just look at the photos to understand it. Entry is free, which is no longer the case with many religious houses (regardless of religion). Central in the city center, can be combined with many other sights. The Marienplatz - pedestrian zone with many shops, the town hall and the carillon at the town hall - are about 500 meters away.

St. Peter's Church

This 11th-century cathedral, the city's oldest remaining church, is best known for its beautiful golden interior.

Reviewed By RLWOrangePark - Ponte Vedra Beach, United States

The Church of St Peter is one of Munich's main landmarks as it is the oldest church in the city and has a 300 foot bell tower with an observation deck at 184 feet offering a panoramic view and great photo opportunity over the Old Town and the Marienplatz. If you want to take advantage of this view, you have to climb 299 steps as there is no elevator. When the weather is clear, it is said that you can see all the way to the Alps. There is a small 3 euro entrance fee to the observation deck which is open from 10 AM to 6 PM. Inside the church is a magnificent 18th century gilded high altar and large ceiling frescos. A very macabre display in the church is located in the second chapel on the left side. There you will find the skeleton remains of St Mundita which is gilded in gold and covered with precious stones. Jewels even adorn her rotted teeth and false eyes. Mass times at the church are Saturday evening at 6 PM and Sunday 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM and 6 PM. Weekday masses are at 8:30 AM 10 AM, 11:30 AM and 6 PM. On many Sundays throughout the year (especially during significant church holidays) you can hear members of the Munich orchestra and the Chamber Choir St Peters perform Viennese classical music, South German romantic works and even contemporary music.

New Town Hall (Neus Rathaus)

Standing next to the old government building, the current home of Munich's city government is located on the Marienplatz.

Reviewed By BradJill - Hong Kong, China

There are numerous attractions to see at Marienplatz in the Old Town of Munich. However, none are as impressive as the Neo-Gothic Neus Rathaus (New Town Hall) which occupies the entire northern side of the square. This is a beautiful building constructed in the second half of the 19th-century, replacing the older and smaller Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) on the southeast side of Marienplatz. What you see here is a richly decorated facade with impressive Gothic features and numerous statues of figures representing the Wittlesbach dynasty. The clock tower is 85 metres tall and includes the delightful Glockenspiel, an ornamental chiming clock which performs twice a day (11am & 12pm) during winter months and a third time (5pm) during warmer months of the year. Do spend a few minutes to enjoy the exterior of the Neus Rathaus if you are fan of architecture and plan on being in the Marienplatz area of the Old Town during trips to Munich. Then continue onward, enjoying the monuments, fountains and other interesting buildings on the square.

Schloss Neuschwanstein

Yet another of the eccentric King Ludwig II's magnificently odd architectural creations.

Reviewed By 430chuckd

You will be greeted at the entry to the little tourist shopping area where you will pay about 7 euros to park. From there you will walk to the nearby ticket office and purchase tickets for reserved tour times for one or both castles. This must be done on the day of your visit, and it's a good idea to get there early, since the time slots fill up rapidly and the number of people per slot is limited. Allow two hours between the starts of the tours if you plan to take the bus up to Neuschwanstein rather than walk, three hours if you walk. From the ticket office you will take a short walk uphill through a small shopping area with restaurants, hotel, a bank, gift shops, etc., following the signs to Schloss Hohenschwangau. It's best to see this castle first since it's the closest and the easiest stairway climb up the hillside. After this tour, which is about 40 minutes, walk back down to the nearby bus stop (you won't have trouble finding it) and purchase tickets at 2-1/2 euros each for the ride up the mountain stopping near Schloss Neuschwanstein, about a 10-minute drive and the buses run at 10-minute intervals. Or, you can use the walking trail if you’re in good shape, but it’s rather steep and long (about 40 minutes) and keep in mind that there are a LOT of stairs on the castle tour. The bus will let you off at a point with a very short hike to Mary’s Bridge (highly recommended if you’re not afraid of heights or rickety-feeling bridges), where you will get the best view photo view of the castle. From there walk back down to the bus stop and follow the signs mostly downhill to the castle, about a 10-minute walk. Taking the hiking path down from there after the 40-minute tour is easier than walking back uphill to the bus, since it’s all downhill. If you’re a serious German history buff and want to learn everything (and I mean Everything) about the history of the region, you can buy the museum tickets at the door. Don't miss the Linderhof Palace for jaw-dropping opulence while you're in the area. It's not as big as the castles, but the interior is truly impressive.

Asamkirche

Reviewed By ParvizM2013 - San Diego, United States

This is a small church in Munich in the old town area very close to the Marienplatz. This is the Church of St. Johann Nepomuk, also known as the Asam brothers church. This is an amazingly beautiful and full of details built in a Baroque style by two brothers. The two Asam brothers who were sculptor and painter built this beautiful church as a showcase of their talent. They lived there and met with their clients over there. This is simply a breathtaking and magnificent monument with lots of great artful details. Bravo Asam brothers. It is a must see in Munich.

Andechs Monastery

My friend took me to Andechs by walking through the lovely trail with the view of Ammersee along the way. Absolutely love the Schweinhaxel and the dark beer for lunch. A must visit place in Bavaria.
