Perlachturm
A 70-meter bell tower beside the town hall. Climb its 258 steps for views over the red roofs of the old town and, on clear days, the distant Alps.
The tower was originally a 10th-century watchtower. In the 17th century it was raised by Holl to about 70 meters, and together with the town hall it forms the city's most classic view. Climb the 258 narrow steps to the top for a 360-degree panorama of the old town's rooftops, the cathedral and the distant Alps. Admission is about 2 euros. It is usually open April through November and closed in rain or snow. Every year on September 29, Michaelmas, the wooden figures beneath the tower clock 'slay the devil.'
Opening hours
