Glockenspielplatz
A small square in the Old Town where a pair of costumed wooden figures twirl out of a window at set times, accompanied by carillon music.
Glockenspielplatz sits on a lane east of the main square. Its carillon, installed in 1905 on the gable wall of a house, comes to life at 11:00, 15:00, and 18:00, when small windows open and a pair of wooden figures dressed in traditional Styrian costume spin and dance to the music for several minutes. The square is surrounded by the Old Town's densest concentration of restaurants and bars, known as the 'Bermuda Triangle,' which gets lively in the evening. Plan your visit to coincide with a show while strolling the Old Town.
