Murnau Christmas market: Advent with mountain views

On the third weekend of Advent, the scent of mulled wine, roasted almonds and festive treats drifts through the centre of Murnau. Around the Culture and Conference Centre and in the surrounding streets, decorated stalls and twinkling lights create an atmospheric Christmas village.

Local associations, craftspeople and other exhibitors present handmade products and gift ideas. In between browsing the stalls, you can enjoy sweet and savoury specialities or warm your hands around a cup of punch. Musical performances add to the festive atmosphere, while a living Nativity scene recalls the Christmas story.

Advent atmosphere in Murnau’s pedestrian zone

A stroll through Murnau’s festively decorated pedestrian zone is an essential part of a visit to the Christmas market. Behind the lights and decorated shop windows, the colourful façades of the historic Marktstrasse stand out. On a clear day, you can catch glimpses of the mountains between the buildings.

During Advent, further seasonal attractions invite you to linger in Murnau. A festive hut village usually opens outside the town hall, serving regional delicacies and hot drinks alongside a selection of gift ideas. As the dates and programme may change, check the latest information in the Murnau events calendar.
