In the belly of the city

Tasty tour through the Viktualienmarkt

Impressions

Description:

Love goes through the stomach!

It's probably the same with the love for Munich, because strolling through the city with a pretzel in hand is twice as much fun! On this Viktualienmarkt tasting tour, our crispy traditional pastry is of course just as much a part of the experience as hearty fare from the Bavarian sausage kitchen, tasty Alpine pasture-raised cattle, spicy dishes from all over the world, sweets from sizzling pots of lard, and of course, healthy products from the Munich area.

And if you'd like to know where you can clearly taste that Munich is perhaps the northernmost city of Italy, even at the market, then come along! Let's enjoy ourselves amidst the colorful awnings and the typical green stalls.

To prevent overcrowding at the market, this tour may only be offered by selected guides and must also be registered with the market management. Therefore, please inquire about your personal Viktualienmarkt culinary experience with me well in advance so that I can reserve your preferred date.

Furthermore, no two tours are alike. Depending on the size and appetite of your group, I can tailor my tour to your specific wishes and preferences. Simply contact me and I will get back to you with a customized offer.

At a glance:

Let yourself be tempted by appetizingly presented specialties that are almost too beautiful to eat, but simply taste too good to only present in front of the camera.

Enjoy sweet and sour, savory and fruity, Bavarian and international at one of the most famous and atmospheric markets in Europe.

Discover the stories surrounding Munich's culinary scene and, of course, our beer, as you sample our offerings. We'd be happy to share a taste with you upon request!

My tips for before and after our tour:

This tour can easily be incorporated into a perfect day in Munich, ideally when you're feeling hungry!

Why not continue your stroll through the old town afterwards? Or relax afterwards in the... Beer garden, where you can enjoy Munich's cozy atmosphere from your bench and calmly observe the bustling activity at the market.

Furthermore, this is Beer and Oktoberfest Museum just a stone's throw away. And if you prefer something a little less traditional at the museum, then I recommend the... MUCA, our „Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art“, where, in addition to exciting temporary exhibitions, original works by Banksy can also be admired in the permanent exhibition.

Frequently asked questions:

Is the Viktualienmarkt also open on Sundays?

Almost all the stalls remain closed on Sundays. However, the beer garden opens on Sundays when the weather is good, so you can relax there. From Monday to Saturday, there's something going on from early morning until late at night.

My daughter is a vegetarian. Does it still make sense for her to participate in this tour?

Of course! The sausage stand might be a bit of a challenge. But otherwise, there's plenty of vegetarian options on this tour.

Does this guided tour only take place directly at the Viktualienmarkt?

Here too, I will tailor the tour entirely to your wishes. Should you wish to see more of Munich's old town during the tour, that's easily arranged, and we can simply include the market as a stop along the way. Or you could simply join my culinary tour of the city center...
