The Viktualienmarkt was a bustling outdoor food market with restaurants, coffee shops, wine shops, some crafts & a busy beer hall. Late afternoons it's very busy with lines of people trying to purchase & outdoor seating overflowing. Each stall beautifully presents its wares. Between stalls are magnificent fountains. I understand we can bring out gourmet picnic from the market to the beer hall, and enjoy my meal with a cold brew. However, by the end of the day after 20,000 + steps my feet hurt, I'm tired & just want to be served. The Viktualienmarkt developed from an original farmers' market in 1807 to a popular market for gourmets. There are now 140 stalls and shops offering flowers, exotic fruit, game, poultry, spices, chocolates, wines & cider, pastries, cheese, fish, juices.... read more

This marketplace was so vibrant and fun to so around and sightsee! We had a simple but delicious lunch at Metzgerei Friedl, bought a carton of fresh strawberries, bought some honeys, chocolates, seasonings and teas around here. Everyone was pretty friendly and all the produce were so fresh! read more

One of the highlights of my time in Munich. I love a good outdoor market and this one is one of the best. Open everyday except Sunday, you can find everything here. Fresh flowers, meats, cheeses, baked goods and fresh baked breads, and of course beer and wine bars. There's something here for everyone and it's always fun checking out all the different booths. I walked over every morning for fresh Cappuccino at Leo's Kaffee and would pick up a pastry at one of the bakeries. In the afternoon, I would stop by the pickle guy and buy a few of the best pickles I've ever eaten. So many choices from sweet to sour, spicy and my favorite a super sour with a spicy horseradish. The long line moves quickly and if you like pickles, you must stop here. read more

This was easily one of my favorite farmers markets in Europe. There was a great selection of fresh produce, condiments, snacks, alcohol, tea, flowers, cheese, and more. Unfortunately, I visited during the holidays, so some stalls weren't open. One shop in particular really caught my attention--it specialized in mustard (Senf) and offered so many varieties I had never seen or even heard of before. I was excited to try everything. Prices ranged from €2 to €7 per bottle, and while I was tempted to buy several, my luggage limitations held me back. In the end, I chose two: black truffle mustard and matcha mustard. Can't wait to try them once I'm back home. read more

Viktualienmarkt is an open air outdoor market in Munich. It had butchers, candy shops, flowers, cheese, beer, and other fun things to purchase and eat. I really liked the sausages and pork knuckle sandwiches from the local butchers. This is a must do for Munich. read more

This is such a great place! I usually head here right after I arrive into Munich for the express purpose of having a Bratwurst at Schlemmermeyer and walking around this incredible market. I only wish I still lived in Munich as there are so many times I would love to purchase and take home to cook and prepare! You could spend hours in here, walking, people-watching, eating, drinking. Such a wonderful place to take in the city, and I always feel there are more locals here than tourists. While there are many areas of Munich that are incredible, this is always a great place to stop, eat, drink and rest your feet. read more

Love this place so many places to eat- there's walk ups for sausages and sandwiches and also to buy fresh fruits and flowers and coffee. I enjoy the fruit so much! There are smaller restaurants but here in Munich most require a rsvp in advance by phone call or email. I wanted to try some of the seafood places, but they were full and not accepting walk ins. Der Schorr is a big pub with restaurant and also outdoor bar area that was full all the time and very happening at night with their indoor tenting and dance music. Service is helpful and good value, but it is a farmers market so most vendors close by 8 pm. On a Friday night, we were able to walk into Eataly that borders here and get food without much waiting. read more

A must visit! Loads of interesting shops and stores, small biergartens, fresh produce, even obscure German made alcoholic spirits. We bought a few gifts for family and enjoyed a few half litres of bier and two breze. If we lived locally, we would definitely buy our produce here. read more

Such an awesome market!! Pretty big and full of people. It's a great spot whether you're in the mood for a full meal or just a quick snack. Tons of vendors to check out! There's a farmers market section with local tea, honey, and fresh produce AND plenty of butchers around. You'll also find lots of beer and bratwurst--classic and delicious. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Highly, highly recommend visiting Vitualienmarkt if you're visiting Munich. During my first we stopped by most days of our trip and I fell in love with Kaffee Roasterie Viktualienmarkt and went every single day after discovering it. You'll find fresh produce, hot foods, meats, crafts, gifts and so much more at the different vendor booths. We typically visit in the morning or early afternoon and when we've visiting it's been busy but not overly crowded. Especially after visiting the Christkindlmarkt nearby that was so, so crowded, it was a welcome change to have space to look around. We always do our best to speak German while we're here and the different shop owners and staff have always been very kind and many will speak English with you, since they see so many tourists. There is so much to look at in the area, from the historical buildings to the food stalls and all the nearby businesses in brick and mortar spots. This is one of my favorite places to visit while we're in Munich and we really do try to stop by every day to explore, grab coffee and grab some delicious local food. read more

lovely and fun place for food, produce, crafts etc. a must visit when you're in Munich

Wonderful Outdoor Market. Loved coming when it's less crowded in the mornings to fully explore, chat, and, shop at the variety of kiosks. Fun-Filled Crowded Beer Garden. When seated, nice it was to chug beers and nibble at the food from the market in the afternoons. CHEERS! read more

Great outdoor stalls with plenty of restaurant and fresh smoothie and fruit options. Fresh market, fresh flowers. We came during the Munich Pride festival so it was crowded with plenty of vendors in tents, music, and people. I didn't like the open air smoking so no fresh air. The food is delicious but many do not have sit down options so we walked with our food. Beautiful historical buildings with lots of locals and tourists alike. Family friendly, lots of walking read more

July 8, 2024 - they were closed Sunday and we went there several times to grab snacks and a meal there. It wasn't as big as I thought it was going to be. They had similar foods everywhere. Though, the fruits and vegetables to purchase were amazing to look at. The Juice Bar we got was all right. It is worth going there and is located just a walk away from the MarienPlatz. There was one place there that sold the most olives I've ever seen in my whole life anywhere in the world. At least where I've traveled. I've been to 30 countries and was very impressed. See photos. read more

It's a great place to have a beer and lunch if you're in the area. This is a large market with a lot of different places to eat. You have options for restaurant seating outside, but you can also "self-serve" for people who just bought a pretzel and want to sit while they people watch. Pricing is as diverse as the food choices, so don't worry about breaking the bank here. We decided to get service, and it was perfect. These servers work their tail off and burn a billion calories daily. read more

Amazing place in Munich. So much fun to be had here and especially the beer.

Crazy busy area on Saturdays. You can get any kind of food, beer, and some trinkets/clothing/toys. It was so packed and most picnic type seating was gone. Try to get there earlier and not deal with the constant milling of people trying to get what they want. It's a free-for-all, and people will not hesitate to cut in line. As a visitor, I was taken aback by the rudeness. The food was good, but I had a lot of waiting and work to get it. Definitely go early. read more

A famous market in the heart of Old town Munich open every single day! I visited this market no less than about 6x while in Munich for 9 days. I sampled the foods, had gelato, bought gifts, bought coffee, bought wine, bought honey, sat in the beer garden and had a drink.... shopped the nearby shops, went into the church adjacent.... you name it, I basically did it. Fresh flowers, foods, wine, and tons of gifts and crafts can be found here. It is easy to find just near the New and Old Town Halls and is close to the Marienplatz station for ease of getting to from around town. read more

Gourmet delights abound! Don't miss this jewel. Crowded but worth it. Seafood, bratwurst, fresh flowers, wine, and of course plenty of beer.

One of our favorite Christkindlmarkts while we were in Munich. There were lots of local shops with fresh produce as well as local meats, breads, and other restaurants. Things weren't too crowded either. read more

The market started in 1807. It is open everyday except on Sundays and public holidays and us located in the center of the city. There are 140 stalls and shops- shopping, food, beer garden and souvenirs. The maypole found at the center is of interest. It has figures that display the trades and crafts from this part of Munich. read more

Viktualienmarkt is a historic market in Munich, Germany, with an estimated 140 stalls. One of my friends I was traveling with is really into sausages and bratwurst, so we ended up here a couple times during our visit, as Viktualienmarkt is known to have some of the best around. With a central location, coming here was very convenient and not out of the way at all. Viktualienmarkt is very close to a number of famous sights and attractions. If looking for a nice German market to shop around at, this may be one of your best options. Equipped with gourmet foods, a beer garden, and much more, there's something for everyone. One of my favorite stalls was a fresh juice stand called Saftbar Tretter. The juice was great, the pretzels from the Beer Garden were among the best of the trip, and the ambiance was nice. Definitely a local farmer's market vibe to it, which is great. read more

Open Monday to Saturday and closed on Saturdays, the Viktualienmarkt is the main farmer's market of Munich. It's located quite close to the Marienplatz and so it gets a good crowd of browsers and tourists going through. More than 100 stalls here, we learned on our tour that many of them have been handed down from generation to generation. There are tight regulations on making any significant changes to the stalls as well. In this place since a regal decree by King Maximillian I in 1807, there are flowers, butchers, beers, sausages, spices, cheese, fish, produce and more. It is a pedestrian zone and I think they need to get some vehicle bollards in place. Lots to see and eat and drink here. Look for the Maypole! [Review 12026 overall, 1809 of 2019.] read more

A brief look at all the 4/5-star reviews paints an accurate picture of this Munich treasure: dozens of stalls offering everything from fresh fish and flowers to honey and brats . . .

The best breweries in Munich are represented here (on a rotating basis), and it's a pleasure to enjoy a liter or two and watch the world go by . . . a must stop on any visit to Munich. Prosit!

I rarely meet a food market I don't like, and this one is one of the greats. It's located in downtown Munich near the tourist areas yet it's not touristy. Sure, some stands sell magnets and beer steins, but this is a local's market where all are welcome. Some stalls are better than others, but you'll find all sorts of goodies from sausages to fresh produce to cheeses to spices. There are several places where you can eat a quick lunch (think hearty soups, grilled sausages, cheese platters). I came here every day during my long weekend in Munich. It's a wonderful place to buy foodie-centric souvenirs (like the homemade wurst spice I bought). Note that this is a totally outdoor market but it still operates in inclement weather -- so bring an umbrella or jacket if it's wet or chilly. read more

Excellent place to visit while in Munich!!! It's centrally located right near Marienplatz and is within walking distance of all the the major landmarks. We visited here all 3 days and Munich and the place does not disappoint. Such a wide array of fruits and vegetables and cute little eateries all over the place. I even sampled a grape that tasted exactly like a strawberry. Yum!! The biergarten is huge and fills up quickly. The benches without tablecloths are first come and communal seating. So if your sitting at one of the tables, scoot down and make friends. Local and visitors alike all mingle here and it's a real party with that liter of beer in your hand. This is a must do while in Munich. read more

Viktualienmarkt is a must-stop in Munich. I've been before, and it was so comforting to be back. This is a good place to pick up some souvenirs or gifts, or just to treat yourself. There are lots of tasty food options. Our favorites are Luiginos, which seriously has the most AMAZING panini sandwiches, and the kaffeerösterei, which has some pretty tasty roasts and tastier florentines (plus chandeliers for ambiance). There are tons of fresh produce vendors, as wells as spices, dessert stalls, wineries, and tons more. I nabbed some delectable truffle brie, that was pricey, but so worth the splurge. Though it's in the heart of a tourist area it doesn't feel touristy and is full of lots of authentic flavors and sellers, and is frequented by Germans and Munich-dwellers as well as visitors. read more

This is such a cool place to take in the culture of daily life. When we came, the fall foliage was just starting to turn, and the weather was sunny but cool, which made all the walking around outside a breeze. There's so much amazing stuff here! Lots and lots of shops with fresh food and drink that you can check out, and plenty of specialty shops like cheese or fruit. I also really appreciated the artisans selling their crafts; there were a ton of people creating beautiful wreaths and floral arrangements, and their booths always smelled heavenly. I'd definitely recommend a visit. It's also quite close to the city center, so you can make a trip of both things at once. read more
