Top Munich Attractions
The focal point of Munich’s historic inner city is the large open square, the Marienplatz, where you’ll find the Old and New Town Halls. One of Germany’s most popular cities to visit, Munich is also famous for its many fine churches, including Peterskirche, the oldest inner city church built during the Romanesque period; the Cathedral of our Lady (Frauenkirche), the city’s most famous building; and Michaelskirche, the largest Renaissance church north of the Alps. Munich is also noted for its numerous parks, in particular the lovely English Garden (Englischer Garten), the world’s largest urban public park. Given the numerous tourist attractions, museums, and galleries, expect to spend at least a few days exploring Munich’s many treasures.
