300 steps to the top of the tower - worth it for the stunning view over the city. Only costs €1.5. Great for getting your bearings
Just off Marienplatz @ Rindermarkt
The church is easily recognisable from a distance, the statues above the door jutting out into the street, but nothing prepares you for the interior. It was built in the 1730s by two architect brothers called Egid Quirin and Cosmas Damian Asam as their private chapel undisturbed by the demands of patrons, town planners or deadlines. Almost inpossible to film or photograph, it is dark, sinister and wildly baroque, full of optical illusions, the decoration covering every square inch of every surface area. The lighting is peculiar, with patches of brightness without any obvious source, the perspectives slightly odd so that as you walk along the aisle everything changes subliminally and, seen out of the corner of your eye, the statues appear to move.
