Introduction

Munich's New Town Hall was constructed in three phases, spanning from 1867 to 1904. Its towering clock tower on the west side has become one of Munich's iconic landmarks. The clock tower not only marks the highest point of the old city ring road, surpassing the height of other buildings, but also features the "Glockenspiel," known as the fourth largest puppet dance in Europe. At 11:00 and 12:00, as well as at 17:00 daily, and in the evenings at 17:00 and 21:00 from May to October, colorful copper figures on the clock tower perform scenes of knightly tournaments, while figures below perform the dance of the barrel makers, creating a magnificent spectacle. Don't miss the opportunity to witness this spectacular display if you're visiting as a tourist.
