Elisabethmarkt, Daily market in Schwabing-West, Germany
Elisabethmarkt is a covered market in Munich's Schwabing-West neighborhood with permanent stands selling a wide range of food products. The offer covers fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, baked goods, dairy products, and specialty foods from different regions.
The market opened in 1903 after being moved from its original location at Maffeianger. It was named after Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known in Bavaria as Sisi.
The Elisabethmarkt is a daily meeting point for people from the neighborhood, where shopping and conversation happen side by side. Some stands have been run by the same families for generations, giving the market a strong sense of continuity.
The market is open on weekdays and on Saturday mornings, with shorter hours on Saturdays. Visiting on a weekday morning gives you the best choice of products and a calmer experience.
A fountain stands at the center of the market, acting as a quiet landmark between the stands. It is one of the few remaining elements from the market's original design in the early 20th century.
