* '''Wochenmarkt''' means weekly markets, with an emphasis on fresh food, often called "Farmers' markets". There are several across the city: Viktualienmarkt in [[Munich/Altstadt#Buy | Altstadt]] and Elisabethmarkt in [[Munich/North#Buy | Schwabing]] are open M-Sa.
* '''[[Christmas markets]]''' (''Weihnachtsmarkt'' or ''Christkindlmärkt'') are held in the four weeks of Advent up to Christmas Eve, offering as much mulled wine, sausage and wood-carved knick-knacks as you can handle. They're typically open daily 12:00 to 20:00. The biggest and most touristy is in Marienplatz in Altstadt, spilling down Viktualienmarkt and Rindermarkt. At the north boundary of Altstadt with Maxvorstadt, the market on Wittelsbacher Platz is medieval-themed. Others are by the Chinese Tower in English Garden, and in Schwabing at Münchner Freiheit. Smaller events further out involve the year-round food market acquiring extra booths selling specialty items for Christmas.
* '''Flohmarkt''' means Flea Market. They're typically on a weekend, with private citizens selling their surplus belongings with few commercial traders. Some of these blend into local fairs and festivities. The largest examples are Auer Dult three times a year in [[Munich/Haidhausen#Buy | Haidhausen]], Theresienwiese in spring on the Oktoberfest site in [[Munich/Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt#Buy | Ludwigsvorstadt]], and on Olympiapark in the north.
* '''[http://www.hofflohmaerkte.de/ Hofflohmärkte]''' are a German specialty: "courtyard markets" where residents open their private courtyards, often with several in a neighbourhood combining with a street flea-market. They're held nation-wide with a score of locations in Munich alone, see website for details. Schloss Nymphenburg has bragging rights for the fanciest setting.

Always start by checking the embassy website: something like a lost passport will be handled from there or even from the home country rather than the local consulate. This section doesn't list Honorary Consuls, who will express sympathy at your predicament but advise you to call the embassy in Berlin.
