This is where the heart of Munich beats hardest. In the centre of the square, admire the Column of Mary and the chime of the new neo-Gothic town hall. The town hall is an attraction in its own right - the coopers' dance and princes' marriage tournament (1568) are reconstructed by automata. From the top of the town hall's tower, you will have a lovely view over Munich. To the east of the square stands the old town hall, where the Toy Museum is now housed in its tower.
