Munich Christkindlmarkt
The most famous Christmas market is the Christkindl market. This is
traditional Christmas at its very best and you'll find all manner of
stalls selling crafts, sweets, cakes, food, mulled wine and other
delights. In recent years there hasn't been much snow at market time
but the atmosphere is always very special. Beware this is the one the
tourists head to, so it gets busy

Insiders tip
All christmas markets but one end on the 24th December, the one that stays open till after New Year is at Munich airport. This is about 35 mins drive or a 50 min public transport ride away from the centre but worth seeing if you arrive in town after the 24th.
