As Gustl Feldmeier said: „here the heart of Munich beats the strongest!“ Once a simple farmers market, Viktualienmarkt turned into a famous gourmet paradise in the heart of Munich. Our Food Tour on Viktualienmarkt takes you into the world of culinary, historic and present events of this market.
Viktualienmarkt – an institution in Munich
Nowhere else in Munich you will find a bigger variety of fresh food and specialities of best quality. Local as well as tropical fruit and vegetables sold by „Exoten Müller“, meat, poultry and venison from „Petersbergl“, oven-fresh bread at „Bäckerliesl“, fish, cheese, exotic herbs and spices – and so much more. The way to the heart is through the stomach – and that especially applies to Viktualienmarkt! With a history that lasts more than 200 years, with an area of 22.000 square meters and 140 traders, the market located between the churches of „Alter Peter“ and „Heiliggeistkirche“ and the Italian market at Schrannenhalle has a lot to tell. And we have a lot to tell during our food tour!
