Originally built in 1180, it was extensively rebuilt after the city fire in 1327. Baroque ceilings and carved neo gothic columns were part of the reconstruction after the WWII. There are eight clocks on the outside of the church tower. You can climb the 300 steps to a viewing platform in the tower and see all of Munich and even the Alps. It has been known for hundreds of years as Old Peter.

With over 300 steps to climb your breathe will be taken away long before the 360 degree view takes it away. Personally I love these sort of challenges to get to your goal and you can always catch your breathe once you have arrived at the top and admire the beautiful city surroundings. Though it is very safe, It is a bit cramped up top since the balcony is a bit narrow. If you're into collecting souvenir zero euro notes, souvenir coins and pressed pennies, you defiantly need to go.

Only a parish church but what a parish church! The high altar (St Peter of course) is superb as are the lovely celing frescoes. There's also some brilliant little carvings. It's only a few paces from Marienplatz and worth a few minutes of your time if you're in the neighbourhood.

It is located just two minutes walk from Marienplatz. We never ever visit a church from sighr seeing point of view. We go inside, sit quietly for few few minutes and pray. St. Peter's Church was lavish. It's very soothing when you just close your eyes and sit at such a divine place. Worth visiting...

St Peter offers perhaps the best view of Munich. Located just across Marienplatz from the Rathaus, it has the huge advantage of being able to see the wonderful facade of the town hall from the top of its tower. It costs €5 to climb to the top up Barrow wooden stairways - quite steep but not so many of them as to make it too much of a trudge - and you get unparalleled views of the centre of the historic city. Even on a day when it wasn’t brilliantly clear, I could see the Olympiaturm and the shapes of the Bavarian Alps. You enter the tower from outside the church but emerge inside, where the gorgeously decorated ceiling and nave are worth sitting and admiring. A great church all round.

St. Peter's church is the oldest church in the city therefore it is probably the originating point of Munich. It is a Roman Catholic church and its tower is one of the landmarks. I can recommend visiting for tourists.
