Photo: Munich Christkindlmarkt Marienplatz

By night the Munich Christkindlmarkt, Christmas markets which are setup in the Marienplatz every December, transforms into a hive of activity as visitors browse the many market stalls for gift ideas and supplies.

A major tourist attraction in the city of Munich is the Marienplatz which features the famous city hall building and Glockenspiel. Come Christmas, the Marienplatz transforms into a magical market scene with many delights for the visitor. The Christkindlmarkt take place every year during the advent period leading up to Christmas day.

Although open through the day, the most romantic time to visit the Munich Marienplatz Christkindlmarkt is during the cold evening when sipping on a mug of hot gluehwein warms you from the inside out and browsing the many market stalls heightens the imagination.
