Planning the festive winter season in Munich? Our event guide presents all the important happenings during Advent in Bavaria's capital city. From traditional Christmas markets to winter concerts – here you'll find everything for your holiday planning.
Around Marienplatz, the heart of Munich's Old Town, the winter activities spread out with the historic Christmas market as their centerpiece. The pedestrian zone between Karlsplatz (Stachus) and the Old Town Hall transforms into a festival mile with craftsmanship, Bavarian delicacies, and mulled wine stands. In the adjacent districts, additional markets await, such as the medieval market at Wittelsbacherplatz or the artisanal market in Schwabing.
Happy Holidays!
