Why go
The square lets you read several major institutions in one sweep rather than as isolated facades. The Residenzbrunnen anchors the open paving, cathedral arches define one edge, and the carillon rises opposite. Cross it more than once: quiet mornings reveal the architecture, while markets and events show how the formal space still works in city life.
What to look for
- The Residenzbrunnen gives the broad square a strong central focus.
- Palace, cathedral and Neue Residenz facades form a continuous Baroque ensemble.
Useful to know
- Return outside event times if temporary structures obscure the square's full proportions.
