New Year holidays & Christmas Markets of Munich

Munich Markets and Mulled Wine

Christmas holidays in Munich are never complete without a trip to the Christmas markets in Munich, full of cakes, mulled wine, handcrafts and much more. Take your pick between the many beautiful Munich hotels, where putting your feet up at the end of a long stroll through the Munich markets will be nothing but bliss.

Christkindl Markt

The Christmas market in Munich, known as Christkindl Markt, is a great place to visit on your Munich Christmas getaway. It is situated in Marienplatz, which is0 minutes walk away from the Holiday Inn Hotel at Munich city centre, so carrying back bags of Christmas market goods will be quick and painless.

Schwabing: Artistic and Natural

If you’re booked in to the Holiday Inn Hotel at Munich-Schwabing you’ll be able to enjoy the artistic area of Schwabing. Check out the theatrical entertainment in the area as a way of winding down after spending hours busily market shopping, or visit Englischer Garten, the largest park in Europe, for a peaceful stroll.

Larger than New York’s Central Park, Munich’s Englischer Garten is a wonderful green haven that reaches across to the northern part of the city. Inside, the interested visitor can find some beautiful Japanese Gardens that house a very delicate-looking Japanese teahouse.

What’s more, thanks to an artificial pump set up deep within the gardens, young and feisty surfers can be seen attempting to ride the manufactured wave day in, day out. You might not get this sight during the winter period, unless there are some fool-hardy souls on hand, but the gardens wil not fail to impress and relax you regardless.

Homegrown Beers and Nightlife

In the evening, after a full day of shopping and market browsing, you’ll almost certainly be in the mood to sample some of the local beers and Munich nightlife. The Hilton Hotel at Munich city provides the perfect base for a German night out on the town and the best way of appreciating Munich’s vibrant bars during the festive period.

Munich flights can be booked through a number of airlines. Within a few hours you’ll find yourself sampling some German gingerbread and snapping up that manger figurine that you’ve always wanted.
