1. Watch the Glockenspiel in Marienplatz
One of the largest animated clocks in Europe, the giant carillon in the tower of the Neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus breaks into song and dance two or three times daily. At 11am, 12pm, and 5pm (only from March through October), colorful life-sized figures dance around, compete in a jousting match, and otherwise cavort while the bells chime out folk tunes.
2. Act Like Royalty at Nymphenburg Palace
From their first look at the long (more than half a kilometer from wing to wing) façade of Nymphenburg, kids will know this is a royal palace. They won’t be disappointed when they climb the grand staircase into its royal apartments and see the gold curlicues and frescoes of flowers and nymphs covering the walls and ceilings.
