Christmas Markets in Munich: Hotel Recommendations

---

Schwabing Christmas Market

Artistic and popular: Craftsmen and -women sell their piece production at Münchner Freiheit - a wonderful place to shop individual Christmas presents and enjoy a hot drink among Munich locals. 

Tollwood Winter Festival

Unique and alternative: Where Oktoberfest takes place in the late summer, the Tollwood Winter Festival puts up its tents in November. Sustainable crafts and food in between colourful lights - and just a short walk from the hotel to Theresienwiese!

Christmas Market at Chinese Tower

Winter Wonderland: in the romantic setting of the English Garden parc, this Christmas Market replaces the Beer Garden in the winter months. Great place to enjoy Mulled Wine after a walk through the snowy parc.

"Märchenbazar" Market

Fairy Atmosphere: Former Circus tents, fairy lights and performances of young Munich artists form the unique charme of the Märchenbazar, located at Leonrodplatz square. Not a classical festive market - but absolutely worth the visit!

Medieval Christmas Market

 Festive time travel: Met and mulled Wine in mugs of clay at Wittelsbacherplatz square. Traditional food and handicrafts are sold and on weekends, medieval performances take place on the market's stage.

Christmas Market Haidhausen

Insider tip: Haidhausen is one of Munich's most picturesque quartiers - and so is the Christmas Market at Weißenburger Platz square. Stroll through the individual stands among the people living around - probably the most local Festive Market in town.

Festive village at Munich Residence

Earlier in times, the "Kaiserhof" of the Munich Residence was reserved for the nobleness. Today, it is place for one of Munich's most popular Christmas markets in tiny and charming atmosphere. Great to combine with the Medieval Market - both are located at Odeonsplatz only two Metro stops from the hotel.

Airport Winter Market

On arrival or departure: Each year, Munich Airport's MAC forum transforms into a wintery square including pine forest. Enjoy seasonal treats while waiting for your plane to leave or have a first Mulled Wine right after landing.

Christmas Market at Marienplatz

The large one: Munich's oldest and largest Christmas market is located right in front of the town hall. 

Winter Walks in Munich

From the hotel, walk to Stachus with its rink. Along the famous Frauenkirche to the town hall and its Christmas market, then enjoy a second breakfast: Weißwurst at Viktualienmarkt. Watch the market's hustle & bustle before walking to Odeonsplatz, through English Garden to Eisbach Wave: surfers all year long! Warm-up then with art at Haus der Kunst before ending at the Chinese Tower festive market.

Christmas Shopping in Munich

From hotel Le Méridien, it's just a short walk to Stachus and the pedestrian zone. Here or at Maximilianstraße, shopping opportunities reach from sports to interior to luxury fashion. Festive markets for a mulled wine break are just around the corner. For individual small shops, Gärtnerplatz or Schwabing might be preferred. Just ask the concierges at Le Méridien Munich – they know the best spots.
