The Viktualienmarkt is one of Munich\u2019s gems. It was formally known as the \u201cGreen Market\u201d, but it is now called the \u2018Viktualienmarkt\u2019. It is the most well-known market in Bavaria\u2019s capital, Munich. The city and the market have a long, rich history and set of traditions that makes it like no other city. It is now considered on the of best and most important sights to see in the city and essential to any tourist\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
Since the 19th<\/sup> century, there was a \u201cGreen Market\u201d in the old, historical section of the city in the main plaza, Marienplatz. The market had famers and other vendors selling their produce and products at the market. Soon, the yearly expansion of the market was too great for it all to fit Marienplatz. It was later moved between the Heilig Geist Kirche (Holy Ghost Chruch) and Frauenstra\u00dfe where it can be found today. As time went on, the \u2018Green Market\u2019 began to offer more diverse goods, like fish, meant, and fruit. Unfortunately, due to World War II, the market was completely destroyed. When the war was over and the city of Munich was building itself up from the rubble, the people of Munich wanted to bring the market back to life. Using funds from the city, they were able to rebuild their beloved market. They renamed the new market using Latin influences, \u201cViktualienmarkt\u201d (victualia meaning groceries\/food).<\/p>\n The Viktualienmarkt is divided into seven zones by their variety and their products sold. There is a great selection of local and foreign goods that a true \u2018M\u00fcnchner\u2019 would refer to as \u2018Standl\u2019 or stall. They use the term when speaking about the restaurants and traditional place to go when you really want to see Munich culture. That is not all! In the middle of the Viktualienmarkts, there is a beer garden that has been there since the 1970s. In the Summer, it is a great place to meet friends and family and cool off with a cold local brew.<\/p>\n The Viktualienmarkt is an experience that everyone should have when in Munich. It not just a shopping center anymore, but a place to relax and experience the Munich lifestyle. People from all walks of life and diverse cultural backgrounds come to the market and bring their own style and flare to the scene.
