The Best Markets To Visit In Munich
Τhe capital city of Bavaria is an imperial city with enormous roads and magnificent buildings. While in Munich, you should take a walk in the Residenz, visit the luxurious Cuville Theater, the impressive Allianz Arena stadium, as well as the beautiful natural parks. And of course, don’t miss the wonderful experience of visiting the local markets, which will surprise you with their unique atmosphere and their countless hidden treasures.

Market
Kripperlmarkt am Rindermarkt
We couldn’t avoid starting an article on Munich’s markets with a Christmas market, for obvious reasons. Kripperlmarkt is not the largest or the most-crowded Christmas market in the city, and perhaps that’s the reason why we mention it. This gorgeous little market is located in the city’s center. Here you’ll find various food and drinks stalls serving a wide range of delicacies and interesting drinks, like ‘Feuerzangenbowle’ and ‘Gluhbier‘. Authentic Bavarian Christmas atmosphere, sensational smells and tastes… What else could you ask for?

Flohmarkt Olympiapark
Market
Flohmarkt Olympiapark
This flea market is open every Friday and Saturday from 9am until 4pm, and it is located in the Spiridon-Louis-Ring. It hosts about 500 stalls, and even though it is not the largest flea market in the city it is considered among the best. You can combine your visit here with a visit to the nearby Olympia-Shopping Center. The whole concept is organized by the Bavarian Red Cross, which means that you have an extra reason to come by, as the proceeds from the rent paid by the sellers are used for charity reasons.

Market
Riesen-Flohmarkt Theresienwiese
