Weißenburger Platz
If you want to go shopping without the typical big city stress of fighting your way through tightly packed stores, while still being able to choose from a large selection of interesting stores, Haidhausen is the place to go. In this part of town, you can find a nice little shopping district with supermarkets catering to everyday needs, shoe stores, boutiques, banks, unobtrusive repositories, as well as cafés and restaurants ideal for a short break. Idyllic Weißenburger Platz with its beautiful crystal palace fountain, surrounded by flower beds and park benches is the ideal spot to catch your breath.
Even in winter, this square has a warm ambiance when 60 festively decorated and lighted stalls are opened here for the atmospheric Christmas market. A trip to Haidhausen’s back streets is also worth while. On Rosenheimer, Wörth and Breisacher Straße you can find many other special little stores. At Wiener Platz on Innerer Wiener Straße, the small “Wiener Markt,” one of Munich’s permanent grocery markets, opens its delikatessen and flower stalls every day. A high concentration of stores can also be found on busy Einsteinstraße in northern Haidhausen. The highlight: at the Stahlgrubercenter, one of Germany’s biggest Media Markt electronic superstores has its home.
