This park is absolutely huge and stretches from the city centre, right to the outer limits of Munich. Some of it is formally arranged with footpaths, lakes, flowerbeds and garden buildings but the further you go out of Munich, the more it becomes general informal parkland. The English Garden is a beautiful place to spend time and there’s so much to see. One of the centrepieces is the huge beer garden surrounding the Chinese Tower (Chinesischer Turm) where a traditional Bavarian band plays background music in the summer months. Order a litre of beer, sit back and relax, then when you’ve finished you can keep the glass as a souvenir rather than claim the deposit back! This is an extract from our free Munich City Guide.

The English Garden has an area of 3.7 Kilometers (1.4 Miles) and is larger than Central Park in New York and it has been serving the people of Munich since 1792. Further developments and features were added in subsequent years like the artificial waterfall in 1815, the Monopteros in 1832 and much more recently, the Japanese Tea House in 1972 (the year of the Munich Olympics).
