Munich is a time of parades, elaborate costumes, masked balls and
street parties that reaches its peak on Shrove Tuesday and is when
most of the festivities take place, including the traditional dance
of the market women. The streets are lined with food and drink
merchants and the whole city turns up at Viktualienmarkt in fancy
