Useful tips
- For a balanced front-view photo of the New Town Hall, step back slightly from the center of the square.
- It's easy to combine Viktualienmarkt and Hofbräuhaus on foot.
- When planning a route, it's easy to stop at the square for a quick photo and move on, but according to the official guidance, the New Town Hall and Glockenspiel sit on the same axis. Get your bearings in the square first, then branch out into the surrounding lanes to make navigation easier.
- On days with events or markets, pedestrian flow comes before photo spots. Set meeting points somewhere easy to find again, such as a subway exit or in front of a nearby building, rather than in the middle of the square.
