Marienplatz, Kaufingerstrasse, Weinstrasse, Rosenstrasse, Rindermarkt and the Kripperlmarkt at the Alter Peter · around 140 stalls
The stalls stretch from the Christmas tree in front of the New Town Hall through the pedestrian zone. It is above all a market for goods: Christmas tree decorations, straw stars, pottery, hand-painted glass pictures and, at the Kripperlmarkt, everything for your own nativity scene.
