\"Viktualienmarkt<\/a>

Viktualienmarkt – The oldest Food Market in Munich, Germany<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Viktualienmarkt<\/strong> is a market place that tourists in Munich love to visit. It was initially known as Markplatz, meaning a market square. Later on, it became popular by the name of Viktualienmarkt or a market selling food and other provisions. This market place was set up by a decree made by King Maximilian I in 1807. Initially it was a small central market. Looking at the growing need for a larger market from where people could buy items of daily use, the Viktualienmarkt evolved by bringing down the charity buildings which were part of the church property.<\/p>\n

Many market halls have been constructed as part of the Viktualienmarkt. The famous Great Hall Market is one of them. Victuals market or Viktualienmarkt started as a farmers’ market. The word victual in Latin means food. Gradually, it developed to be a proper market square. In a single market place customers get exotic products ranging from vegetables, fruits, meat of venison and fowl, sausages, butter, eggs, tea, flowers, spices, herbs and wine.<\/p>\n

If you feel tired from shopping, you can relax at the Beer Garden centrally located in the market. It is a shady haunt and has a seating capacity of a thousand people. The beer garden attracts the visitors with its pleasant aura created by hundred-year old chestnut trees. You can either bring your own food or munch some of the hearty Bavarian specialties offered here.<\/p>\n

These days, the market hosts conventional and folkloric events like gardeners’ day, opening of the asparagus season, weighing celebrities, brewers’ day, summer festival, dance of the market women on Shrove Tuesday, etc.<\/p>\n
