Visit of the New Town Hall Tower
Alter Peter, Frauenkirche and much more – from the tower of the Neues Rathaus you can see all the important sights of Munich. And thanks to the elevator, you arrive on the platform in a few seconds.
The Munich Town Hall Tower observation deck
Munich has many great views – one of the most beautiful ones is definitely the one from the tower of the New Town Hall. During Advent, a visit to the tower becomes a heavenly experience. The festively decorated stalls, the smell of mulled wine and roasted almonds, and the atmospheric lighting create a very special atmosphere. From the viewing platform of the Town Hall Tower you can overlook this pre-Christmas hustle and bustle in all its glory.
★ simply heavenly: extended opening hours during the Christkindlmarkt from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. ★
In just a few moments, the elevator takes you to an altitude of 85 metres and you can see a different highlight of the city in every direction: directly opposite is the Alter Peter (church), on one side of the tower is the Frauenkirche (church), on the other the Altes Rathaus (old town hall) and to the north there is the Italian-looking Theatinerkirche (church). And if the weather is good, the impressive Alpine chains stretch across the entire horizon to the south.
For this festive season, the tower also has extended opening hours until 9 pm. Tickets can be purchased conveniently online without queuing or directly on site at the tower ticket office in the passageway to the State Courtyard.
Please note that reduced tickets are only valid with appropriate proof (e.g. pension card, student card, ID card, etc.) and the proof must be shown at admission.
