Wiener Platz Munich

Frozen yogurt in Haidhausen

Veronica from Munich

I’m a journalist, editor and writer who grew up under the Maltese sun, studied and worked in Scotland, and since 2016 have been based in Munich. Trained by the Associated Press and with a Masters from the University of Edinburgh, I now run my own content company, ittra.eu, where I write creative and business content. I also coach public speaking. Beyond words, I’m a proud mum of wonderful boys and...
"Wiener Platz in Munich is a charming village-like square where local markets, Little Rabbit’s Room café, and a cozy playground create the perfect loop of city life."

Wiener Platz in Munich’s Haidhausen is a vibrant square with an authentic, lived-in charm that I cherish.

To arrive here is to step into a quieter rhythm. The square is the smallest permanent market in Munich, which gives it the intimate feel of an idyllic village square, complete with its Maibaum and chestnut trees. Looking around, it’s lovely to see specialty grocers and florists showcasing regional delicacies. It's a charming alternative to the city's crowded hotspots, a place where locals spend time enjoying culinary treats.

But the true genius of Wiener Platz lies in its seamless blend of adult pleasures and family sanctuary. At the corner, right on the square, sits Little Rabbit’s Room. This charming café, inspired by the whimsy of a rabbit hole is my favorite gourmet pitstop. While they specialize in wonderful homemade cakes, they also offer a refreshing, high-quality take-away experience, including frozen yogurt with fun toppings. I always grab a delicious take-away coffee and a frozen yoghurt topped with pistachio sauce, because I know exactly where I am going next.

Just a stone’s throw from the market’s delightful bustle is the Grütznerstraße Playground, a welcome haven for tired parents. The playground is thoughtfully designed, perfectly safe for little ones with its baby swing and fenced boundary.

It is this perfect, quiet loop, from the market's authentic bustle to the café's gourmet warmth to the playground's family peace, that defines the best of life in this part of Munich.
