The view over the city

To enjoy the fantastic view from the Olympiaberg, you first have to make an effort - the mountain can only be reached on foot. A steep climb takes you up the 60 metre high Olympiaberg. In good weather, you can even see the Alps. The effort is worth it!

English Garden, Old Town Munich, Bavaria, Germany
The English Garden, the green lung of Munich

The English Garden, the green lung of MunichDid you know that the English Garden in Munich is one of the largest parks in the world, bigger than Central Park in New York? Designed in the 18th century by a British landscape gardener, this green lung in the heart of the city breathes life: Here, atmosphere takes precedence over botanical diversity. City dwellers and travellers come here to laze around, exercise, explore the paths on foot or by bike, cool off by the lake and even surf the waves of the icy stream. Another attraction of the English Garden are the iconic beer gardens, which are inseparable from Bavarian conviviality. One of them, at the foot of the Chinese Tower, offers space for up to 7500 people.

Beer garden at the rose garden

Are you in Munich when the weather is nice? Then a visit to a beer garden is a must, for example the Rosengarten. This typical beer garden was opened in 1983 on the occasion of the great international horticultural exhibition and is idyllically situated by the fragrant rose garden on the edge of a small lake. Take a seat at one of the long tables under the chestnut trees, order a «Halbe» or a pint of the famous Weissbier, a plate of Weisswurst or Leberkäs and let yourself be inspired by the good humour of Munich's locals.

Tram no. 19 – every 10 minutes through Munich

There is probably no cheaper way to get around Munich. Tram no. 19 leaves the main station every 10 minutes in the direction of Ostbahnhof. Past the impressive Palace of Justice, via Stachus and the pedestrian zone to the National Theatre. Hop on and off as you wish to stroll and shop. Continue along the magnificent Maximilianstrasse. Don't miss the marvellous view of the Isar river as you cross the bridge, before you can browse through the boutiques on Wörthstrasse or at Ostbahnhof or sit down in a café.

City of light

There are many bright moments to discover in the Bavarian metropolis. In the municipal gallery in the Lenbachhaus, the artwork Wirbelwerk stands out. A sophisticated lighting concept turns the Westfriedhof underground station into a cave of blue, red and yellow. The 1.2 kilometre-long Lightway installation envelops connecting corridors in the airport in a bath of light. The glass wind spout of BMW Welt and the outer shell of the Allianz Arena offer fantastic photo subjects and have almost become landmarks.
The four seasons are also impressive light artists, each bathing the English Garden and the many beer gardens and green spaces in a different play of colours.
