Christkindlmarkts 2023...Day 6: A Lazy Munich Day

Friday was another lazy day in Munich. We had planned on a day trip to Augsburg, but with the weather forecast being unpredictable, we decided we were better off staying in Munich. Neither of us slept well again overnight so we slept in and had breakfast at the last moment before getting ready for the day. We made our first stop of the day the Medival Market. I ended up getting some nice gifts here last year and wanted to shop around it again during the day when it is not as packed as it is at night!

It was drizzling again today so we did our best to stay dry.

For whatever reason, we always buy some candied nuts at this market and walk around and enjoy them while we shop and sip our gluhwein. 


We had an earlier dinner at Eataly and enjoyed shopping around the store. We had found a wine bar in the Viktualienmarket last year and we decided we would stop by and enjoy a little non-mulled wine for a bit.



Enjoying wine at the bar of the wine bar. It was very busy and clearly a favorite with locals after work. 


We left the wine bar and walked through the Rinkermarkt so that I could see my beloved Christmas Pyramid.


The Rindermarkt is such a great area away from the main Marienplatz market.

We walked home through the Marienplatz so that we could stop off at the Augustiner for a little Bierhalle action. 


It was probably our most low-key day of the trip. Between the unpredictable weather and our lack of sleep, relaxing around Munich was just what we needed.
