Artisan Christmas Market at Münchner Freiheit
The Schwabinger Weihnachtsmarkt has been a firm institution in Munich's pre-Christmas season for more than 40 years. It is centrally located at Münchner Freiheit along Leopoldstraße in the Schwabing district – the very neighborhood that once attracted artists, writers, and bohemians, and is still known for its bohemian flair today.
What makes the market special are the artist stalls: Around 80 stalls showcase works crafted with love and skill by artisans, made from glass, wood, paper, metal, fine jewelry, ceramics, felt, stone, and leather. Instead of mass-produced goods, you'll find unique pieces and gift ideas off the beaten track.
In addition to mulled wine and winter delicacies, the festive experience includes a cultural and walk-act program with music and performances that enhance the contemplative mood. The market traditionally runs from the first weekend of Advent until Christmas Eve.
The Bavarian capital, Munich, is widely known for its Christmas markets. The Schwabinger Weihnachtsmarkt adds its own artistic touch and is closely linked to the identity of the Schwabing district.
