The Viktualienmarkt stands as one of the oldest and most renowned markets in Munich, nestled in the heart of the city, captivating visitors with its Bavarian delicacies and much more.
Dating back to the 19th century, this market has been a hub for locals seeking fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, and eggs, originally situated in Marienplatz.
