Visiting The Rathaus Glockenspiel In Munich
What is a Glockenspiel, you might ask? It is a famous attraction in the town centre in Munich, Germany. This big clock with chimes tells several stories of a royal marriage, jousting stories, and a folk dance called Schäfflertanz (coopers' dance) which all became part of Munich's folklore. The last to top of the attraction is the chirping of a golden bird which signifies the end of the show.
The Glockenspiel plays every 11 a.m., 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. every day. I'm so happy that my family and I managed to watch the whole performance. It was a good 12-15 minutes show and we all loved it.
The Rathaus Glockenspiel is in the heart of Marienplatz. It is easily accessible by train via Hauftbahnhof or directly at Marienplatz S-bahn station.
If you are visiting Munich, this place is a must. Do add it in your itinerary.

Thanks sis, i will indeed add this to my must see when i get to Germany.. I just wish i can really go there! hehe!
This is a very interesting clock. That's not an easy thing to build with the 32 life-size mannequins. Lucky are those like you who have witnessed those performances.
I envy you for visiting this structure....congratzzz...very beautiful indeed!
Visiting historical places is what my husband and I love to visit and Germany is included on my travel bucket lists. :)
Gosh this is one place I like to visit.
wow!!! you have a picture of one of the cities spots...another for you and your daughter to cherish.
Wow! It’s a beautiful architecture with a fun entertainment. Thanks for sharing the view.
I would certainly love visiting Germany and Glockenspiel from your description and photos look so fascinating! The show am sure will make my kiddos delighted! ♥
very lovely and intricate architecture, I am not sure if I will be able to visit Germany or Munich someday, so many places to see, and I am always aching to adventure and explore nature,Though I so love visiting historical sites and am amazed with architecture and engineering, but usually, I visit them only as a side trip of a major nature adventure trip if it is nearby. So, hopefully, someday, when I find a "nature is calling me" place in Germany.
PS..... I am happy enough seeing the amazing architecture through you :)
World traveler ka talaga sis, I wonder when I could see Munich as well hehehe.
It's a big WOW for that structure. I will definitely add this to my list of places to visit in Munich.
Lovely architecture, as expected from European cities.
Amazing structures, simply breathtaking, it's like I'm taken to another time.
You make me miss traveling out the country. I hope I can plan one or two next year.
Wow! What a beautiful tourist attraction that is in Germany Sis :-) I am sure that the big clock reminds everybody with the special occasions or moments happened during a special hour or day :-) I would love to visit Germany or any Europe countries someday :-)
Ah... Germany-- a very longed place to travel! Thanks for sharing these nice snaps, sis! You look so lovely in that photo up there. I think your hair is kinda different? :)
