Join us for a festive rooftop reception, amongst Christmas huts, and high above the rooftops of Munich city. Connect with other delegates while enjoying an exclusive selection of traditional festive delights including mulled wine, Christmas cookies, roasted chestnuts, stollen and gingerbread.
Christmas Market
7.00pm – 9.30pm
Afterwards the group is invited to experience the magical Münchner Christkindlmarkt at Marienplatz, with buses departing the hotel lobby at 7.00pm, and 2 return trips scheduled for 9.00pm and 9.30pm.
With around 140 market stands, it now has around three million visitors every year from all over the world. In addition to the extensive musical-cultural accompanying program, the almost 30-meter-high Christmas tree in front of the town hall, with around 2,500 lights, is donated every year to the citizens of Munich by a different town from Austria or Italy.
This traditional market, with roots dating back to the 14th century, is considered the original among Munich's Christmas markets. Against the romantic backdrop of the neo-Gothic town hall on Marienplatz, the village of stalls enchants with its old Bavarian charm and seduces all the senses. This is not only the home of living customs and old crafts but also of what is probably Germany's largest Nativity scene market.
