Lonely Planet review for Königsplatz

Nothing less than the Acropolis in Athens provided the inspiration for Leo von Klenze's imposing Königsplatz , commissioned by Ludwig I and anchored by a Doric-columned Propyläen gateway and two templelike museums. The Nazis added a few buildings of their own and abused the square with their mass parades. Only the foundations of these structures remain at the east end of the square, rendered unrecognisable by foliage.

Peaceful and green today, the square comes alive in summer during concerts and open-air cinema.
