8 magical Christmas markets in Munich
Christmas market at Marienplatz
This is one of the oldest Christmas markets in Munich and is opened every year by the mayor himself. From November 24 to December 24, 2019, you can expect an impressive, huge Christmas tree, music, arts and crafts, mulled wine and other delicacies as well as dates for the Krampus run or singing under the Christmas tree - participation is encouraged here.
Bogenhausen Christmas Magic Forest
The Christmas Magic Forest is open from November 22, 2019 to January 06, 2020. This means you can visit it for longer than any other Christmas market in Munich. So if you want to enjoy the festive atmosphere at a Christmas market over the two Christmas holidays, this is the right place for you.
A mulled wine festival also awaits you in one of the Christmas tents. A large selection of classic, non-alcoholic and organic mulled wine is waiting to be tasted by you.
The Munich Feuerzangenbowle at the Isartor
Romance and coziness in the middle of the city center. In addition to the Feuerzangenbowle, you will find a lot of culture in the historic ambience of the Isartor. An interesting exhibition on migration awaits you here. Pictures and texts about immigration to Munich are projected onto the interior walls of the Isartor to show how much our city has been enriched by it. Mulled wine, cookies and music are of course just as present here as at the other Christmas markets in Munich.
Christmas market at the Chinese Tower
From November 28, 2019 to December 23, 2019, the traditional Bavarian sport of curling awaits you in the English Garden at the Chinese Tower, along with a grandma and grandpa reading to the children, romantic carriage rides, high-quality arts and crafts and, of course, plenty of mulled wine. The market at the Chinese Tower is not one of the most popular Christmas markets in Munich for nothing.
Schwabing Christmas Market
The Schwabing Christmas market on Münchener Freiheit is all about the love of art. In addition to a small cultural program, you will also find all kinds of beautiful and unusual arts and crafts that you won't find at every Christmas market. But restaurateurs are also waiting to spoil you with delicious Christmas delicacies.
Pasing Christmas Market
The Pasing Christmas Market does not take place continuously, but on the respective Advent weekends. In addition to Christmas delicacies and beautiful handicrafts, visitors can look forward to a charity raffle and plenty of musical performances. Many children and school choirs enchant guests with contemplative Christmas carols as they stroll through the Christmas market.
Munich Advent spectacle and medieval market
There are many Christmas markets in Munich - but only one that takes you 500 years back in time. At Wittelsbacherplatz, you can immerse yourself in the world of knights and jugglers from November 25, 2019 to December 23, 2019. With medieval rock, pagan and folk music, there will also be music to match the theme.
The arts and crafts are also medieval: here you can buy and give away everything from handmade drinking horns and gold jewelry to very cozy lambskins. The medieval market has been one of the most popular Christmas markets in Munich for 11 years.
Pink Christmas in the Glockenbachviertel
Alongside the Medieval Market, this is also one of the most eye-catching and unusual Christmas markets in Munich. Although Pink Christmas was brought to life by the queer community, everyone is invited to enjoy a merry get-together among the pink stalls. Instead of contemplative Christmas sounds, there is shallow chill-out and house music to be heard here. At no other Christmas markets in Munich are you literally right in the middle of the action: The stalls are placed around the outside and visitors cavort in the middle of the Christmas market.
