Once we arrived to Munich, we quickly found our hotel, checked in, dumped our luggage, and went off to find the xmas markets in Marienplatz (Mary's Square), a central square in the city since 1158, before it got too dark and cold. This is the New Town Hall at the northern part of Marienplatz. It served as a wonderful backdrop to the xmas celebrations in the square. A huge tree, lots of lights, great food, creative xmas handicrafts, and of course gluhwein!!
