    Very lively intersection

    This is a very busy and lively square as it is in the intersection of the Residence, Opera House and Maximilian Street. So many things to see and lots of ‘action’ in this area.

    From Marienplatz to Max-JHoseph-Platz, a 5 minutes walk. Night and day it is worth. The city opera is located there.

    The beating heart of Munich

    OK, perhaps not the only one but I love this square as it contains the historic Residenz, the Opera House, and some bars and restaurants. Close to lots of shops and it has underground parking. A must see if you are new to the City.
