Why Viktualienmarkt matters
The Viktualienmarkt is where Munich shops and snacks. Stalls sell cheese, sausage, fruit, flowers and fresh pretzels, and a beer garden in the middle lets you drink under chestnut trees with food from the stalls. Grab a bench, order a weisswurst, and watch locals go about their day.
Talking points
- Stalls sell local produce and specialities
