One of the highlights of my time in Munich. I love a good outdoor market and this one is one of…read morethe 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.

This was easily one of my favorite farmers markets in Europe. There was a great selection of fresh…read moreproduce, condiments, snacks, alcohol, tea, flowers, cheese, and more.

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.

In the afternoon I'd stock up on fresh pasta, meats and veggies for dinner. I used the restaurant inside for free internet access while I sipped on a beer before returning home. I even bought most all my groceries in the small market inside. My new love is d'arbo honig cremig. I hate to say it but I even went online and had 20 jars shipped to the US at over $10 each...ouch...but I'm addicted to the stuff! Markthalle is a truly wonderful place!

A trip to this farmers market has become part of our Saturday morning ritual whenever we wake up in…read moreMunich. The farm-fresh produce (both conventional and organic) is a big draw for us. Spring through autumn you'll find an orgy of locally-grown seasonal fruits and vegetables; in the winter not much grows in Germany besides cabbage and squash, but the selection is still pretty good (supplemented by items grown slightly farther away).
