Your favorite stalls/things to do at Viktualienmarkt?

SCHLEMMEN AM MARKT is a fantastic stand for wursts; they have benches where you can sit after your order is filled. I could have eaten there very day during our 5 day visit last September!! I ate there a few times; there was usually a line but it moves fast and staff are super kind and helpful.

There is a really cool shop for a bit of everything near there; KUSTERMANN

And of course, Rimowa is very close, and very tempting, as the prices are great and you get the refund if you re from out of the EU.

I would time my visiting Viktualienmarkt to be around lunch time since the big Biergarten there is well worth a lunch. The main problem is that it's almost crowded to super crowded .

If not for lunch, Viktualienmarkt is interesting to explore and a place to take an afternoon coffee break

I actually most enjoyed the flower shops at the south end of Viktualienmarkt. Gorgeous products.

Thank you all for such quick and thoughtful replies! Mignon, you especially piqued my interest. This has gone from a quick walk through with snack in hand to a place I could see spending hours perusing and enjoying.

Crowds don’t bother me much as it adds to great people watching but I do have to prepare myself to get into that mindset so I appreciate the heads up, Fred!

ekscrunchy - love the Rimowa comment! Ha! I came with only a 45L backpack so that is tempting indeed!

jphbucks, the flowers sound lovely & I can hardly wait to enjoy.

I was looking forward to this before but more like a casual observer. Now, I’m really excited to go and participate and experience. Thank you!

Oh! Forgot to thank you, Mignon, for saying that drinks need to be bought in the beer garden. I don’t want to commit a party foul or have my ignorance delaying others so I appreciate you mentioning that.
