Munich - Little Square Platzl

 
The Platzl ("Little Square"), world-famous on account of the Hofbräuhaus, was re-modeled in the Neo-Renaissance style around the turn of the century. The buildings surrounding it have undergone renovations, great care being taken to preserve any surviving old facades and restore traditional architectural detail. Today the square boasts several restaurants and shops, adding to the liveliness of the scene.

The "Platzl am Platzl", once renowned for its cabaret, is now the home of the Bavarian People's Theatre. Its repertoire of folk music and dance ranges from yodelling, "Gstanzi" (rhyming songs) and "Stubnmusi" (fireside music) to "Schuaplattin" (folk dancing), all of which can be enjoyed while sampling old Bavarian Schmankerln (delicacies) from the Platzl kitchen.
