The Münchner Christkindlmarkt takes place from 20 November to 24 December 2026 on Marienplatz, in front of the New Town Hall, spreading into the nearby streets of Munich's old town.
What is Munich Christkindlmarkt 2026?
Munich's Christmas market is one of the oldest in Germany, with roots going back several centuries. Around the large Christmas tree on Marienplatz, stalls sell wooden decorations, nativity figures, gingerbread and mulled wine. The Kripperlmarkt, dedicated to nativity scenes, sits nearby, and the New Town Hall's tower and balcony provide a festive backdrop for seasonal music.
How do you get to Marienplatz by chauffeur?
Marienplatz lies at the heart of Munich's pedestrian zone, so cars cannot drive up to the market itself. A chauffeur can drop you at a permitted point on the edge of the old town, such as near the Viktualienmarkt or Maximilianstrasse, and meet you there later. Traffic around the old-town ring is heavy on Advent weekends. From Munich Airport, allow around 40 to 50 minutes.
Planning your day
- Go on a weekday for smaller crowds around Marienplatz.
- Dress warmly, as December evenings in Munich are cold.
- Choose a collection point outside the pedestrian zone in advance.
- Combine the market with dinner in the old town.
