Market shopping in Munich

  1. A

    Christkindlmarkt

    The Christkindlmarkt in December is a well-stocked fulfiller of traditional Christmas wishes. Crèche scenes, 'smoking figures' carved in the Erzgebirge and spicy-sweet Lebkuchen (gingerbread) are some of the favourites. Flea markets are held on the square at other times of year.

  2. B

    Flohmarkt Riem

    Like urban archaeologists, you have to sift through trash and detritus to unearth treasure at Bavaria's largest flea market, far out of town by the trade fair grounds in Riem. Take the U2 to Messestadt-Ost.
