UPDATE: Munich Airport is set to unveil its enchanting winter wonderland, featuring a spectacular ice skating rink, beginning November 14, 2023. This marks the 25th annual celebration of this festive attraction, inviting travelers and locals alike to skate while waiting for their flights.
The airport’s 600 square meter ice rink will be open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM, offering unlimited skating for just £4.40 (€5). In a city famed for its Christmas markets, this unique airport experience is a must-visit, providing an array of holiday delights.
A total of approximately 40 market stalls will adorn the airport, showcasing handmade gifts, culinary specialties, and festive treats, all nestled within a beautifully decorated pine forest. Visitors can sip warming mulled wine in cozy huts while surrounded by twinkling lights.
In addition to ice skating, the festive activities include curling for around £22 (€25) per hour, ice discos every Wednesday from 6 PM, and various Christmas crafts such as wreath making and ceramic painting. Children will be delighted with face painting, magic shows, and special visits from Santa Claus on select dates: November 27, December 6, and December 19.
Evening entertainment will feature live performances from local artists across diverse music genres. Additionally, a magical 50-minute Christmas light tour around the airport is available for those looking to enhance their festive experience.
This year, the winter wonderland introduces the “Wish Tree” initiative, allowing visitors to fulfill a child’s wish by purchasing gifts to be delivered to the “Elk Hut” by December 18. This effort aims to spread holiday joy to children in need.
The winter wonderland at the Munich Airport Centre (MAC) will run until December 28, 2023, providing a perfect holiday escape just a short flight from the UK. With easyJet offering flights from London Gatwick in under two hours starting at just £14.49, now is the time to plan your festive getaway.
