4 grand days !!!!

The town market Viktualienmarkt


and... it is Spargel Season !!!

Marienplatz...the town center. This large area is/has been their center for a thousand years. Filled with walkers, shoppers, street performers, etc.
It is a really fun and reallllllly busy place. The square is "full up" as folks come to see the Glockenspiel = the wedding characters come out at noon.

The Glockenspiel was added to the clock tower in 1907
The Residenz.....decorated in Rococo style / 18th century
We walked thru 90 rooms of color 'n gold and, and....
