Loved these markets- so much fresh food, with fruit, vegetables, cheese, cold meats and cooked food. And of course there were flowers, crafts, souvenirs, etc. Just be aware it's not open on Sundays. Didn't get to try the covered market because of this.

A great place to browse, people watch, & eat. Lots of vendors – souvenirs, fresh fruits & vegetables, food, & of course, beer! Many picnic tables available although you’ll have to share. Ideal way to spend an afternoon.

And feast for the eyes and senses! Everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to crafts souvenirs and more! The toilets were clean..leave the lady some money for her work. Try one of the sausages in a bunch for around 2 euro..you won't be disappointed.

I spend about an hour here as i wasn't really looking for anything in particular, but the variety of ingredients was overwhelming as well as the price for which they were sold; cheap! If i would live in Munich and i would do the amount of cooking i do now, i would definitely shop there on a weekly basis. And,... More

A great place to meet people and view the exotic specialties on offer. Whether its cheese, sausages, spices, Asparagus(in season) etc. You´ll find everything you might need, although not in all cases cheap ! It´s great to relax in the open air beer garden and you´ll find that in no time you´ll be chatting to other tourists or locals.

A Munich must-see is the Viktualienmarkt where very old and permanent retail stores operate with temporary merchants in a space which feels like an American style farmer's market. The key to navigating this very expansive retail environment is to understand that, generally, similar categories reside next to each other. For example, meat shops are together, flower shops are together, juice... More

The V-market is a splendid place to sit and relax while drinking a beer or eating food. Families, teenagers, students and elderly people all congregate together to drink and eat in this open air beer garden. The atmosphere is so convivial and is a fine example of how people can behave when drinking alcohol.There is a great selection of restaurants... More

You can dine ,shop and people watch in this huge market just a few steps away from Marienplatz. When surrounded by Germans, you will be surprised that you are the only one ordering soda insetad of beer for lunchtime meal. I am surprised how Germans love their beer. We felt out of place seeing even youngsters drinking beer during daytime.... More

An important part of the charm of the old town, come here for some nice sights and smells as you walk the sights. A sizeable beer garden in the middle for summer-time; bistros around the edge for winter. Nice flowers, food stalls, etc.
