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!

Wish I took more pictures of this fantastic garden. I am ecstatic that my husband and I took the…read moretime to walk from our hotel to the English Garden. We brought sandwiches, snacks and water which made for a little picnic. The garden is enormous and beautifully maintained. Wish we had gardens such as this in the USA. I think this may even be bigger than the Central Park in NYC - most certainly safer! We went on a Monday but it was still full of people. From what it seems, it's a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Locals wade into the water and there are even some spots where they surf! I believe there's even a lifeguard in one of the areas. They don't just let anyone surf though and there are some warning signs about its dangers. Hubby and I were able to find a bench in the shade where we just enjoyed the scenery for a while. It was perfect for our jet lag recovery The park is also within walking distance from many other landmarks in Munich, such as The Residence, the Odeonsplatz, Mariensplatz, The Munich Cathedral, among many others.

Locals told us that it was designed by an Englishman to look like an English Park. It was pretty, but it looks like home. It was great for people watching and did enjoy seeing more surfers , and lots of bikers, dogs and walkers. It was a beautiful & sunny 73° & the perfect place to get in well over 10,000 steps here.

I used to live in Stuttgart and never knew about this garden. What a treasure!…read more I walked to this garden from the main train station area on a very hot day. It is at an elevation, like on the hill. I went up using a lot of stairs but the other direction offers a gradual incline without stairs. I'm glad I brought water. You enter through a gate. The garden is maintained by a local community group and closes at night. There is a small lake and I even saw a little turtle by the water. There is an indoor structure but it was locked when I visited. You can walk around and see the ambiance and there is an upper part with a view of the city. There were two people making out when I walked up to see the view. So that's pleasant. This garden is a nice place to take a break in the city and look at the view over the city. There's not much shade except for under the outdoor structure. If you want to sit there are mostly rocks. I recommend a visit if you want a peaceful, not often visited break from the hustle of Stuttgart.

Neuschwanstein Castle itself is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately the overall tour experience…read morewas very disappointing and there is a lot that could be improved. We took the horse-drawn carriage up toward the castle, which was a fun experience and the horses were adorable. Just be aware that the carriage does not take you all the way to the castle -- you still have an uphill walk afterward to reach the entrance. One thing I really didn't understand was the amount of horse poop all over the road. There didn't appear to be any type of bag or collection system behind the horses, so as you're walking up and around this incredibly popular tourist attraction, you're literally dodging piles of horse poop along the road. With the number of visitors and carriages going through here, it seems like there has to be a better system for keeping the area clean. Our castle tour was scheduled for 1:40 PM, and even though we arrived about 40 minutes early, we weren't allowed inside until our exact tour time. Once inside, there are several flights of stairs before reaching the tour area. That normally wouldn't be an issue for us, but we were traveling with my 70-year-old in-laws, who simply needed a little extra time on the stairs. It would have been helpful to allow guests inside a few minutes early so anyone who needs additional time could make their way upstairs without being rushed. What was especially frustrating was that the tour started before our entire group had even made it upstairs and gathered together. The guide moved very quickly, spoke extremely fast and didn't consistently wait for everyone to enter the room before beginning the next explanation. At times she was so far ahead that the audio through the speaker was going in and out. The tour groups also felt much too large. Splitting the groups in half would make a huge difference. It would give people time to actually enter each room, see what is being discussed and hear the information before being moved along. The castle itself is gorgeous and I'm glad we saw it in person, but the tour didn't provide nearly as much information as I expected because everything felt so rushed. Between the tour organization, accessibility/pacing issues and the conditions along the carriage route, there is a lot of room for improvement here. Beautiful castle, but based on our experience, I would not recommend the tour.
