The Auer Dult on Mariahilfplatz in Munich is a tradition brimming with guaranteed fun. Held three times a year during spring, summer, and fall, each session typically lasts for nine consecutive days. With roots dating back to 1310, this fair has a rich history. In the 18th century, the Electoral Prince Karl Theodore initiated biannual fairs, which eventually evolved into the regular event we know today, starting from 1905.
Exploring, shopping, indulging in delicacies, and enjoying carousel rides define the essence of this vibrant fair. Notably, it hosts the largest jumble sale, featuring numerous stalls offering rare books, old prints, and traditional garments.
When it comes to gastronomy, after indulging in entertainment, treat yourself to a cold beer and sample Bavarian snacks such as fish-on-a-stick, barbecued sausages, and chicken. And for those with a sweet tooth, an abundance of candies and caramelized almonds awaits.
