Staying at Wyndham Garden Munich Messe during the holiday season means you’re just a short trip away from one of Munich’s most magical traditions: the Weihnachtsmärkte (Christmas markets). With sparkling lights, the scent of Glühwein (mulled wine), festive music, and Bavarian specialties, Munich’s Christmas season is a true highlight for every visitor.
Münchner Christkindlmarkt at Marienplatz
From 24 November to 24 December 2025, the city’s main square, Marienplatz, transforms into a winter wonderland. More than 100 stalls line the square, offering handmade ornaments, Bavarian treats, and traditional gifts.
The centerpiece is a giant Christmas tree decorated with around 2,500 lights, creating the perfect festive backdrop. Warm up with a cup of Glühwein, try roasted almonds (gebrannte Mandeln), chestnuts (Maroni), or a hearty sausage. Daily choir and brass performances from the Rathaus balcony add to the magic, while the “Himmelswerkstatt” offers creative workshops for children.
