Step into the joy of Christmas along the beautiful streets of Munich, where markets date back to the 14th century and attract nearly 200 million people a year across the country.
Together with our “Christmas market specialist” you will stop at the various stalls and hear stories about the history of the markets, the meaning of the decorations, and all Christmas rituals associated with them. Don’t miss the chance to sample the traditional seasonal delight, Lebkuchen, a gingerbread cake and a glass of hot mulled wine, together with an overwhelming variety of local products like handcrafted Christmas tree ornaments, household items, honey products, candy and cookies. Follow us to the Kripperlmarkt, or crib market, featuring some of the most impressive nativity scene cribs and figurines you’ll ever find. Definitely worth a visit is the “Christmas village” in the palace courtyard of the Royal Residenz, a place recreating a farming village in the former Bavarian seat of government. At the Medieval Market, you will see a recreation of the atmosphere of what the original Munich Christmas markets must have been like, fully decorated in the style of the Middle Ages.
