Munich’s Christkindlmarkt spreads from the Glockenspiel‑topped Neues Rathaus across Marienplatz and into the pedestrian zone.
Expect alpine décor, nativity figures at the Kripperlmarkt, and steaming mugs of feuerzangenbowle. Choirs often perform from the Town Hall balcony, adding to the atmosphere as dusk settles. Everything is steps from U/S‑Bahn Marienplatz and surrounded by cafés for warming breaks. For a quieter browse, visit late morning; for full sparkle, come after dark and photograph the lit Christmas tree beside the Rathaus. With deep traditions and easy logistics, Munich is a classic Advent city break.
