    I went to Munich in September of 2023, with my son for Oktoberfest and road trips through Bavaria, and Austria. Our first meal in Munich was in the English Garden, we had great weather, and the setting is perfect for an outdoor meal. We had great food and there is always music and beer. Afterwards we walked to the river to watch the surfers.

    Highly recommend if you like to walk and want to get away from the hustle and bustle ... and the surfers are not to be missed!!

    The beer garden in the English Garden is an expansive and lively spot that's perfect for soaking in the Bavarian experience. The size of the place is almost overwhelming. The Chinese Tower here is very cool and unique. Originally, the pagoda served as a public viewing platform until the surrounding trees grew too tall. We indulged in a classic pretzel and beer, which were both excellent. The real star, however, was the sweet mustard--a must-try that perfectly complements the pretzel. It's clear why people love it.

    7/8/2024 - This place was huge. We walked there and were getting tired of walking. Everyone was swimming in the river, surf boarding, laying out in the sun, yes, naked as well and just having fun. The signs to get around the inside of the park were not good. Bring your phone or a map and water. It was a nice place to just visit and leave.

    A beautiful garden that's both huge and full of cool little nooks and crannies! Even in the cold of winter, it's a wonderful place for a stroll. The Christmas market within the park is pretty nice, as well!

    Huge Garden/ park with lakes and waterfalls. Many people were surf boarding, swimming, and jumping into the lake. There's also a huge field to play volleyball with many volleyball nets. They have restaurants and "the best lemonade" stand inside the park. Plenty of bench spaces. Lots of people from Pride were enjoying themselves and many families were also gathered to enjoy the sun. Lots of people on bikes or walking

    The English Garden in Munich, Germany, is one of the world's largest urban parks. With plenty to see both inside and out, it's no surprise that this is one of the top 2 ranked attractions on Trip Advisor in all of Munich. My friends and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for a stroll, and while we only saw maybe half of the park, we enjoyed our experience. To begin our exploration, we started to the right of Haus der Kunst, at Eisbachwelle, where you can watch local and professional surfers take turns on an artificial continuous standing wave. The wave is only really suitable for skilled and experienced surfers, as lots of accidents occur here. The surfers we all saw were very impressive, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time watching them. We continued on to the left of the wave and walked around the Japanese tea house. Other attractions we saw included Monopteros and the Chinese Tower. This park is huge, with vast, open grass areas perfect for laying down at. There are a couple beer gardens scattered throughout, with perhaps the most famous one at the English Garden being next to the Chinese tower. We spent about 2.5 hours at this park and felt like that was enough to see all of the main attractions and grab a couple beers. We visited on a cold day, but I could definitely see people spending more than half a day here relaxing. The ambiance is calm and inviting.

    How can you not love the Englischer Garten? First off, it's the largest park in Germany. It's half again the size of the famous Central Park in New York City. It Gets around 3.5 million visitors a year and I can see why. Bright green for miles, lots of interesting little tidbits and sit down spots along the Isar River. You can't possibly explore the whole thing in one shot but you can definitely hit the high spots including the Japanese Tea House and the Monopteros Dome. Stunning! And don't skip out on the urban surfing at the Eisbach. Just follow the sound of the rushing water. [Review 12012 overall, 1795 of 2019.]

    What's NOT to love about this park in Munich? It's obviously a favorite of the locals, based on how many people were there midweek today. This is a huge place with multiple paved paths throughout. So many green trees ensures shade even on a warm day. There are bathrooms and places to eat as well. One of the highlights is the area where people surf.... in the park. Seeing is believing:)

    We walked to the Garten from Marienplatz, with the idea to visit the Chinesischer Turm on the other side. It wasn't the best time to visit a park - end of December, temperature near to freezing, rain and wind - but we made the best of it. It was still a lovely visit. There's a river that runs through the greenery, a couple cute pedestrian bridges, lots of walking paths, and the Monopteros in the center of it all. Despite the cold and the rain, we spent a good amount of time in the park. We made a beeline for the Chinese Market, but on our way out, we strolled the paths, visited the Monopteros, took a ton of pictures and took our time leaving. It's tucked behind a quaint neighborhood, with a few small cafes and shops lining the streets on the way in. They also have a fun Biergarten on the way in, with a couple of old ski buggies (is that the right term for it?) offering shelter from the weather. I'd love to go back in another season, to be able to enjoy everything the park has to offer in heat and sunshine.

    4.7 stars for English Garden. We took the U6 to Universitat, and it was just a short 5-10 minute walk over to English Garden. We walked up to Monopteros, which was beautiful in the sunset and gave us an excellent view of the garden. We then made our way over to Chinesischen Turm Restaurant and Biergarten, which offered a variety of food options from pork and pasta to pretzels and of course, HB beer. This is a gigantic garden. We only explored about 1/10th of it, and I already felt like that part we explored was massive. I would definitely recommend grabbing food and beer at Chinesischen Turm and enjoying the serene atmosphere.

    Fabulous as always and the best park in the world. Supposedly the largest city park in the world. I've had a love affair with this for 35 years.

    One of my favs in the whole world. Uno de mis favoritos del mundo entero.

Since we were visiting in late November the grounds weren't as lively and lush as they would be during spring or summer, but it was still lovely to walk around and see the flowers and space. The actual greenhouse was well worth the price of admission and we saw so many beautiful plants and even saw turtles up close and personal. There were some very relaxing areas with water features that I could have hung around near for hours. It was really nice. We thought that the way they had the plants and greenhouses organized was so cool too. We went through a range of types of plants, areas of the world, temperatures, sights and smells as we explored. You're able to take it at your own pace and you're free to revisit any areas you'd like. They also have some benches around if you'd like to relax a bit. We did walk through a range of temperatures during this, so even though it was cold outside, we ended up taking off our coats and were warm in our sweaters as we walked through. I definitely recommend wearing layers. They have a cafe here as well as special exhibits and right next door is the Castle and Park Nymphenburg. A great place to spend a few hours and we'll definitely have it on our list when we visit during warmer seasons.

    I was so happy to finally find this botanical garden. Apple Maps took us to the wrong place. And…read moreeven in December the place was fabulous! EVEN with not a lot blooming outdoors this California gardener loved it. There are so many greenhouses to visit. I saw some amazing plants: Camellias, ferns, cacti & succulents, cycads,water plants and so much more. The ONLY reason I'm omitting one star is the gift shop was super tiny and had no t-shirts! I did buy a magnet but would have spent more if there was more merchandise. I also would have bought a book on the garden if they'd had one in English. But if you enjoy botanic gardens, be sure to visit Botanisher Garten München!

Nymphenburg is a lot smaller, less detailed on the interiors, and has a lot less artwork and architecture to see. Also the gardens in the back are a lot smaller in comparison to Charlottenburg and nowhere near what some palaces in France have. Built between 1664 to 1675 this Baroque palace is one of the larger ones in the Munich area. I honestly would recommend people to see it but just know that it won't be the most beautiful palace you will ever see. The tickets are pretty cheap and you can choose many different types. We chose the ticket that had the most areas to explore but honestly, you can get through this place pretty quickly because there is not nearly as much art to see nor can you go in part of the building that is under construction. I would recommend overall, but it was not the prettiest palace or castle that I saw during my Germany trip.
