Munich, the third-largest city in Germany (after Berlin and Hamburg), has a population of 1.6 million and is the capital of Bavaria. However, strolling around in the Old Town area (below left), we didn't feel like we were in a huge city as there is a lot crowded into a very walkable area.
The most dominant building in the Old Town square is the neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus, or New Town Hall (below right).
It is called the NEW Town Hall because it replaced the 14th-century OLD Town Hall (seen below) in 1874.
The New Town Hall has an impressive 400 rooms.
