The St Peter's Church Christmas MarketIt's close to Christmas and Europe are serious in celebrating when it comes to year end festive season. Currently at St Peter's Church located at Marienplatz Square there is an ongoing Christmas Market filled with food games and Christmas gift souvenirs, it's something like what we call pasar malam in singapore. It is said that this market dates all the way back to the 14th century, and it's also said that this is one of the original Munich market where kids who are interested in arts and crafts can also head here to the workshop to craft their very own name. But I think what really stands out here for me is definitely the food! It's all about the German sausages, the sauerkraut, the pork knuckle, the pommes and the many Germany authentic food cooked by the locals. #celebratewithtrip #germany #munich #christmas #marienplatz #stpeter #church #festiveseason #germanfood #christmaseventKinnie Kong26

St Peter's Church MunichSt. Peter located in the city center right next to Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt, St. Peter is Munich's oldest parish church. It’s free to go into the church and admire the decorative alter, expansive interior, artwork. Interestingly, as you enter the church, there is a wall display with the history of the church buildings that have existed, been expanded and rebuilt over the centuries. The church features a 91-metre tower making it visible from many locations around the Old Town. You can climb the tower for views of the city if interested. #munich #couplestrip #germanytravelMel2212

The best panorama of the Munich old townA real classic: The viewing platform on St. Peter's Church (called "Alter Peter" by Munich residents, which translates as "Old Peter"), is climbed daily by thousands of visitors from near and far. Through a narrow staircase, about 300 steps lead them higher and higher, until finally a fantastic view in all directions opens up. By far the most frequently photographed view is of course the Marienplatz panorama. Where else can you take pictures of the Frauenkirche and the town hall at the same time? And on a clear day, even the Olympic Tower peaks up in the background. You have to take a lift to reach the viewing platform. From Monday to Saturday a tower ascent is possible from 10 AM to 7 PM. On Sunday’s the latest time is 5 PM. Adults have to pay 4€, while the fee for children is 1€ and 3€ for students and seniors. How to get there: St. Peter is quite close to the Marienplatz, so the best way to get there is to take the S-Trains or one of the subways to ‘Marienplatz’. From here it is less than 2 minutes #bucketlistrebootwinter1678
Old Peter (St. Peter) is the oldest church in the inner city of Munich, Germany. As early as 1158, when Munich was built, a church was built here. The 8th century monks lived around the church on the hill. At the end of the 12th century, a new Bavarian Romanesque church was built, which was expanded to Gothic shortly before it was destroyed by fire in 1327. Since then, a new church was built in 1368. At the beginning of the 17th century, a 92-meter-high Renaissance spire and a baroque choir seat were added. Although the trip has seen too many churches of different styles, St. Peter's Cathedral is not so prominent. However, the interior of the church is also unique in the style of Narococo and Baroque style, with white and gold as the mainstay, as well as jewelry and a collection room with hair shaft. Placed in the center of the main altar is the image of San Pedro, and the four saints at the bottom are very beautiful. The whole church is very solemn and elegant. The interior is beautifully decorated, especially its altar, with many gold-plated decorations and a gorgeous feel. The church has a spire of up to 91 meters high and can be seen in many parts of Munich, becoming a landmark in Munich. It is free to enter the church and there is a charge of 2 euros for the summit. It was too cold that day, and I planned to climb the tower to overlook the panoramic view of Munich's Old Town, but at this time I gave up especially decisively. Overlooking the Marienplatz, it is the best location to look out for the new town hall and the Church of Our Lady. In the far north, you can see the home stadium of Bayern Munich, the Allianz Arena, when the weather is good.Shirley Zhu.3

A bird’s eye view through Alter Peter!When visiting Munich, be sure to visit St Peter’s Church or also known as Alter Peter, Munich. Go up to the top of the tower for a magnificent view of the city from 15th floor. The entrance fee ticket counter is located behind the church and expect a queue as there is only one entrance and exit way. The ticket cost euro 5 and you will go up a tight stairways, expect to climb 15 floors and they are also people coming down the same stair case and it is really skimpy. Once you arrived at the top, the view is magnificent. You will be able to see the entire Marienplatz and more. #munich #Alterpeter #church #towerview #Paranomaview #magnificent #germanytravelKlslee31

St. Petersburg is a unique building with a history of hundreds of years and a church in European tradition. Many of the church's displays retain the oldest history, and there are quite a lot of tourists here.
St. Peter's Basilica is a very important institution, the whole church is very huge environment, there are quite a lot of tourists here. Integration of a lot of Balotte style, the interior of the church is also very huge, very beautiful mural design. [View] The view here is not bad
The inside of the church is completely different from the outside. The photos taken by other tourists are inside. The historical buildings and celebrities are buried here, you can walk a few more steps to the attractions, or to the nearby food market and restaurants.
I only saw the city view for 30 minutes for the student fee of only 3 euros !!! Looking at the 13 og, it seems to be 13 stories high, but walking up wasn't as difficult as I thought, and I went up quickly. It's very narrow and barbed wire, but it's not particularly disturbing to take pictures or watch, and it was nice to be able to enjoy a view of different charms on all four sides.
St. Peter's Church is located in the southeast corner of Marian Square, Munich's oldest church. The architectural style of the church is Gothic architecture with two minarets. The interior of the church is magnificently decorated. The pillars of the church are covered with golden statues of the twelve apostles, which are vividly carved. The top tower of the church can be climbed. This is the best place to overlook Marian Square.
The interior of the church was so beautiful that it was stunned as soon as it entered. Walk inside, quietly enjoy murals and sculptures, exquisite, heart has become pious, as if God is around.
St. Peter's Church in Munich is located near the old city hall. It has Gothic main style, magnificent interior decoration in Baroque style, and four Godfather statues in the church. It is very attractive. You can climb the church tower and enjoy the scenery. We didn't go in, we just enjoyed the appearance.
Inside, we admire many artworks, such as the main altar, the baroque choir, the magnificent columns, or painted ceilings. The church is a must-see for visitors to Munich's Alstadt (Old Town), and it is also very close to the city center of Marian Platz.
