In a week Germany’s Christmas markets will open for the holiday season. Munich has numerous Christmas Markets, from their traditional large market in Marienplatz to the unique Medieval Market at Wittelsbacherplatz. But Munich also boasts of the largest Manger Market. You can find it at Neuhauser Strasse, just a short walk away from the main market at Marienplatz. Here you can find everything you’ll need for your own nativity scene!
From Angels to fill the sky…
To blank paint your own figures.
And all manner of creatures to fill the barn
With fuzzy, fluffy sheep!
The details are so incredible!
Nativity scenes aren’t that popular in the US, but traveling through Germany, Austria, and Italy at Christmas time and you’ll see them all over. In Italy I saw almost every shop with their own one, including ones made of pasta and cheese! You can tell this is more than a simple decoration that you buy and put out. Instead it is something you take care of, plan, and admire for its details. And here at the Manger Market of Munich, you’ll find the pieces you need to complete it.
Every other week Travel Thursday brings you travel tips and information on the amazing sights and activities the world has to offer.
