Ah yes, kitschy Bavarian gifts!…read more Typically I am quite opposed to gift shops, but this one has a special twist. Nary a drindl or stein, nor mention of any type of beers. It's offbeat. It's colorful. It's not the standard touristy crappola...and your people at home might appreciate that. Surely everything resembles the stereotypical souveniers....but cooler. Mousepads, glockenspiels, racks of fake antlers, sausage sets (fake, obviously), magnets, funny tees (especially for kids), aprons, and the list goes on. Looking for something to truly surprise your significant family, friends, or other...without hauling a stein or shipping some beer? This is your place. Interesting books and paper, cards, stationary and postcards. Including a few guide books on interesting places to check out in the city... A tourist stop surely, but a cute one that stands apart from the rest. I'll be back before I make the voyage home!

The Viktualienmarkt was a bustling outdoor food market with restaurants, coffee shops, wine shops,…read moresome crafts & a busy beer hall. Late afternoons it's very busy with lines of people trying to purchase & outdoor seating overflowing. Each stall beautifully presents its wares. Between stalls are magnificent fountains. I understand we can bring out gourmet picnic from the market to the beer hall, and enjoy my meal with a cold brew. However, by the end of the day after 20,000 + steps my feet hurt, I'm tired & just want to be served. The Viktualienmarkt developed from an original farmers' market in 1807 to a popular market for gourmets. There are now 140 stalls and shops offering flowers, exotic fruit, game, poultry, spices, chocolates, wines & cider, pastries, cheese, fish, juices....

I just love this shop! It is very easy to find fun and useful gifts for most people. Whenever I am…read morenear Sendlinger Tor, I enter this store to see what new stuff they have. I already bought there something for myself. But most of the times I just buy gifts for friends. And they really like it. Who would not like the stuff they have? OK, the person has to like some colorful things. :D The store has a wide range of products, which goes from decorative, home, kitchen, personal care, accessories, to office items. The products are most of the time very colorful, amusing, and very functional as well as fun. They provide gift packing at no extra cost. I am not so sure if they also do it on Saturdays, given that the store do gets a bit crowded. It is almost guaranteed you will find a gift that the matches the person that will receive it. :D

Quaint and funky! If you are looking for traditional German souvenirs, this is not the place to go…read more It is more in keeping with something you would find in Tokyo or NYC. Pop culturish with brightly designed toys, clocks, etc. This is also a place I could see locals coming to get something for their young teen nieces and nephews, particularly females who want something hip for the phone or bag. Overall, a nice place with cute ideas it just wasn't what were looking for on this trip so we did not make any purchases. With that being said, check it out anyway.
