Great place to walk around and stop for some beers. We walked thru here on a walking tour and it is a great little place to enjoy some food and drink. There are lots of little vendors selling vegetables, cheese, meats, etc. Great visit in central Munich.

This is a market not to be missed, you can taste and see all the Bavarian cuisine, the farmers produce and various hand made products. It was raining on ad off the day we visited but we had hot glue wine to keep us warm. We went their to see the maypole and the different fountains. The maypole was the medieval yellow pages , the different signs on the pole indicated the goods and services available nearby. The fountains are dotted around the market and are named after folksingers and personalities! There is even a fountain festival in August

The World Famous Viktualien Market This is another Market that deserves honorable mention in the world of markets! It’s not the size, but the location and composition of the various sellers of astonishing quality produce, meeting eateries (Imbiss) and the congregation of people enjoying a day out! The line of shops, basically hole in the wall establishments that sell nothing but meat, sausages, smoked and otherwise prepared cuts is outerwordly. One can spend easily the better part of the day just browsing, munching and choosing specialities not just from Bavaria! Missing out on a visit to this wonderful place, is a little like not having been to Munich! First set up around 1807, it slightly moved as it got too large and in 1823 moved! The great market hall burned down in 1923, and reopened in 2005! Meanwhile after WWII, the market got a revival and pretty much got its present form in its present location, the row with the butcher’s shops pretty much shows the period building! Anyways, a must visit, enjoy the Photo’s! #germany #traveladventures #drivingholidays #fun #avtivities #munich #münchen #friends #viktualienmarkt #amazingmarkets

Farmers market and open-air pub in one place. The stalls are my favorite part with lots of different delicacies and specialities. At all stalls, quality of food/produce/products is incredibly high. Staff members are friendly and are knowledgeable about their products and like to share their stories. I recommend to take some time to really explore the variety of products.

So fun and interesting! Loved going around to all the vendors and got many of our “souvenirs” for our family here. Everyone was nice and helpful. The beer garden was lively and everyone sits together (don’t think you will have a whole table to yourself during the busy times). Bring cash as many places do not take cards.

We are always fans of large open markets, as they give such a good sense of culture and what the locals feel is important. This place has amazing produce, plants/flowers and your typical souvenir shops. It is beautiful and most vendors are incredibly friendly. Worth stopping by to check out.

Viktualienmarkt is the famous and historic Open Air Market in Munich. It has been a bustling hub for fresh produce, local delicacies, and traditional and local Bavarian goods since its founding in 1807. The market was originally established by King Maximilian I of Bavaria as an expansion of the overcrowded market at Marienplatz. It has a 140 stalls and shops. It’s overwhelming. It has fresh flowers, herbs, spices, breads, desserts, cheeses, wines, you name it, they got it. Many of the vendors have been operating their stalls for generations, passing down recipes and expertise.

Amazing opportunity to try a wide choice of Bavarian food. This is a proper market used by the locals and not just tourists. Really great wandering around and soaking up the atmosphere. We found ourselves going back again and again. Just be careful as you cross the road into the market. The cyclists in Munich are quite mad and few have any respect for pedestrians.
