Munich's Viktualienmarkt is home to the city's most central beer garden as well as the village's Maypole. The market has upwards of 100 vendor stalls which sell a wide variety of items including foods (fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, bread and more) plus souvenirs and gifts. You'll also find places to eat, drink and be merry! The Munich Maypole, a landmark that can be seen from afar, is a popular meeting point in the market - just look for the very tall blue and white striped pole.

Social Media Description
Our walking tour ended at one of Munich's most popular meeting points - the Maypole. The blue and white (colors of Bavaria) striped pole is decorated with emblems that represent the city.
Fun fact: There is no set schedule for replacing the maypole - a new one is designed and built when the current one "wears out". Before being erected, the security of the maypole is top priority to prevent a neighboring village from stealing it!
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. - Jawaharial Nehru
