Glockenspiele (carillon) is a must see when visiting the town, its the most popular attractions and not for kids only. As a metter of fact I just couldn't take off my eyes of it until dancing and bells ringing didn't stop, and it takes several minutes while the clock bits full hour. It looks just magical, do not miss it.

The Glockenspielplatz: Stop by at 11 am, 3 pm or 6 pm - it is well worth it. Two sides of a window open up and out come a wood-carved couple in traditional costume, turning to the sound of the chimes. They have been doing their rounds for almost 100 years now, never a minute too late.
