Another day, another Munich Christmas Market. We stumbled upon this one accidentally, after turning…read moreright when leaving Hofbräuhaus, instead of turning left and heading back the way we came. The random wanderings led us towards Residenzplatz and Odeonsplatz, where we saw the lit up sign on the archway leading to the market situated inside Residenzplatz. It's smaller, of course - they have less space to work with, after all. But, it had the same selection of food and drink that some of the bigger Christmas Markets had, as well as a nice selection of crafts (including jewelry). The difference with this market was the section near the back dedicated to Christmas and Christmas-themed dioramas. I was fascinated by the singing moose, who told stories and sang songs (in German, of course). Best I could tell with my broken German is that he was teeing up what visitors would encounter in each of the dioramas past him. I wish I understood more German, as there were quite a few of the settings that made us quirk an eyebrow and question the goings on. We did visit this market on two different occasions, partaking in the feel of the market (I loved that it was next to the Residenz) and the stories of the dioramas.

It's located in the middle of a square of tall buildings which help shield the blustery cold and wind, and it's well laid out so you can browse all the stands. There's a good mix of shopping, entertainment, food, and of course gluhwein! While we were there, lots of local entertainers were putting on shows, including a fantastic children's choir singing holiday songs and an old man playing "O Holy Night" on his tuba. This is a beautiful little market too, with twinkling lights and lovely decor. Worth going out of your way to stop here, especially if you're into Christmas markets (and who isn't)?
