Munich · VIKTUALIENMARKT FOOD TOURS
The market is free to wander and impossible to order from confidently on a first visit. The 8 tours below fix that: which stall for cheese, which for Leberkäse, and where the beer garden in the middle hides its cheap seats.

“Really good food tour and learning experience. Our guide was friendly and engaging. You could tell she really understands and loves the food culture. Also, it was pretty crappy weather and some stalls that we were meant to visit closed early. Our guide did a nice job pivoting to other stalls. It was a nice amount of food, especially if you are hungover from Oktoberfest and don’t eat breakfast beforehand.”
