Shopping – Munich

Whether haute couture in Maximilianstrasse, exclusive boutiques in the "Fünf Höfe” and "Maximilianshöfe” shopping centres, trendy fashion and jewellery in the Gärtnerplatz quarter, souvenirs at Am Platzl next to the Hofbräuhaus beer hall or international specialities at the Viktualienmarkt food market – Munich is the ideal place for an enjoyable shopping spree at any time of year.

Maximilianstrasse

Maximilianstrasse is the place in Munich for luxury and glamour. This famous boulevard is lined with exclusive designer shops including Gucci, Armani and Yves St. Laurent. Even if you are visiting Munich on a tight budget, this exclusive shopping district is still a great place for window shopping!

"Fünf Höfe"

Although the exterior of this shopping complex features the almost completely preserved historic façades of the archiepiscopal palace, Palais Portia, and the former Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechselbank, inside it houses a modern consumer world. This attractive shopping centre consists of retail outlets, restaurants, cafés and offices.

Viktualienmarkt food market

The Viktualienmarkt is Munich's largest food market. Located around the city's maypole, the market's experienced stallholders sell bunches of flowers, mountains of fruit and vegetables, herbs, cheeses, different types of sausage and fish. You can hardly move here during the week, let alone on Saturdays when it is at its busiest.
