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. 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.

Tickets can be purchased conveniently online without queuing or directly on site at the tower ticket office in the passageway to the State Courtyard. Cancellation free of charge is possible up to 24 hours prior to visit.
