The city hall of this picturesque, undeveloped village reflects its anachronistic spirit.

Centered in the old walled city. It was festooned with colorful Christmas Market decorations and market stands serving everything from seasonal favorites like spiced wine to open fire roasted bratwursts, chestnuts, and more. Specialty shops included Christmas gifts and regional traditional decorations. The Rathouse serves as a beautiful backdrop for the Christmas Market.

There are numerous attractions to see at Marienplatz in the Old Town of Munich. However, none are as impressive as the Neo-Gothic Neus Rathaus (New Town Hall) which occupies the entire northern side of the square. This is a beautiful building constructed in the second half of the 19th-century, replacing the older and smaller Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) on the southeast side of Marienplatz. What you see here is a richly decorated facade with impressive Gothic features and numerous statues of figures representing the Wittlesbach dynasty. The clock tower is 85 metres tall and includes the delightful Glockenspiel, an ornamental chiming clock which performs twice a day (11am & 12pm) during winter months and a third time (5pm) during warmer months of the year. Do spend a few minutes to enjoy the exterior of the Neus Rathaus if you are fan of architecture and plan on being in the Marienplatz area of the Old Town during trips to Munich. Then continue onward, enjoying the monuments, fountains and other interesting buildings on the square.

Augsburg's 17th-century city hall, recently restored following severe damage in World War II, is the architectural masterpiece of this ancient Roman city.

Sightseeing in Augsburg and naturally we had to check out the famous golden room at the Town Hall of Augsburg (German: Augsburger Rathaus). This building is one of the most significant secular buildings of the Renaissance style north of the Alps. The golden Hall covers an area of 552 square metres (5,940 sq ft) with a ceiling height of 14 metres (46 ft), it is richly adorned with large doorways, magnificent murals and a coffered ceiling. The interior of the Hall (not completed until 1643) was designed by Johann Matthias Kager. Opening hours Monday – Sunday: 10:00 – 18:00 / Ticket price: 2,50 € Unfortunately the machines were you can buy your tickets are out of order. There is a sign stating to go to the tourist information for tickets. Luckily we found the info that we could buy the ticket online which we did. The beautiful chamber covered in wood and gold takes your breath away and is a must see if you are in Augsburg.
