Munich Airport has been transformed into a festive winter destination with the launch of its annual Winter Market. Running through December 28, the market invites visitors to enjoy seasonal shopping, family-friendly activities and live entertainment in a welcoming open-air setting.
The market features more than 40 stalls showcasing handcrafted gifts, holiday decorations, warm treats and specialty foods. Vendors offer a variety of seasonal goods that make it easy to find unique presents and festive souvenirs. Alongside the shopping, guests can sip warm beverages and sample traditional winter fare while taking in the atmosphere.
New and expanded attractions this season include a larger skating and curling rink that accommodates more skaters and curling teams, creating a lively center of activity. For the first time, the Winter Market also includes a spectacular ice slide located in the Airbräu Beer Garden, providing an exciting, family-friendly highlight. Children and adults can enjoy several rounds on the slide between visits to the stalls and food stands.
Visitors can also relax in the open-air cinema, which offers free screenings of popular films throughout the market’s run. The cinema provides an inviting place to take a break from shopping and cold weather while enjoying familiar favorites on a big screen outdoors.
Live performances are scheduled on the market stage, with a varied program that includes musical acts, seasonal choirs and other entertainment suitable for all ages. The programming adds a festive soundtrack to the market and enhances the communal atmosphere, making each visit feel special.
Practical information: the Winter Market is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with an adjusted schedule on Christmas Eve when stands and shops close at 5 p.m. The event’s layout and family-oriented offerings make it suitable for short visits during travel stops as well as longer afternoon or evening outings.
Whether you’re passing through the airport or planning a dedicated visit, the Winter Market at Munich Airport combines seasonal shopping, outdoor entertainment and interactive attractions to create a memorable winter experience for visitors of all ages.
