Tips & Advice
- Take the U-Bahn or tram to the Sendlinger Tor stop, which is served by six subway lines and five tram lines.
- If you're driving, head straight for the Contipark, Oberanger or Stachus car parks rather than looking for street parking near the gate.
- Bring your gift list, as stalls sell Latvian ceramics, olive wood carvings, handmade dreamcatchers, silver jewelry, knitwear and sheep's wool goods.
- Don't plan your visit for Sunday, November 22, because the market is closed that day and open daily the rest of the season.
- Order children's punch or real cocoa with milk and cream for the kids while adults choose from the mulled wines and egg liqueur punch.
