Shopping in Munich

Alte Pinakothek

Munich

One of the world's largest old-master collections: Dürer, Rubens, Rembrandt, Leonardo, Titian under one roof. Built in 1836 as the first public museum at this scale.

Auer Dult

Munich

The Auer Dult is one of Munich's oldest and most beloved markets. Three times a year — as the Maidult, Jakobidult and Kirchweihdult — it transforms Mariahilfplatz in the Au district into a lively gathering of flea market stalls, antiques, household goods and traditional fairground rides. Each Dult lasts nine days, drawing collectors, bargain hunters and families alike. Between old porcelain, beer steins and unusual finds, surprises are never far away. The folk-festival atmosphere makes the Dult a genuine piece of Munich city life, well away from the main tourist crowds.

Bavarian National Museum

Munich

The Bavarian National Museum on Munich's Prinzregentenstraße is one of Europe's most important museums of decorative arts. Across some 13,000 m² of exhibition space, it presents art and cultural-history collections from the early Middle Ages to the 20th century: European sculpture, textiles, ceramics and glasswork. It is especially known for its folklore department in the basement, home to one of the world's largest nativity scene collections. The building itself, founded in 1855 and opened in its current form in 1900, is a grand historicist structure whose façades cycle through styles from Romanesque to Renaissance.

Hellabrunn Zoo

Munich

World's first geozoo (1928): 760 species arranged by habitat instead of cage row, set in the Isar floodplain forest.

Hofstatt (Shopping Arcade)

Munich

The Hofstatt is a shopping arcade that opened in 2013 in Munich's old town on Sendlinger Straße. What makes it distinctive is its location on the former site of the Süddeutscher Verlag publishing house, with the development integrating two historic existing buildings — the neoclassical editorial building by architect Max Littmann from the Gründerzeit era and the characteristic brick structure of the old print works. This fusion of publishing history and contemporary retail makes the Hofstatt an architecturally interesting place to shop. The offering includes national and international fashion brands as well as dining options. Situated between Marienplatz and Sendlinger Tor, it is a natural stop on any stroll through Munich's city centre.
