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.

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.
