This garden, directly outside the rear of the Royal Residence (Residenz München) and adjacent to Odeonplatz is a true oasis of peace and tranquillity. The domed temple in the middle dates back to the 1600s and in summer, the flowers here are beautiful. It’s a great place to escape to. This is an extract from our free Munich City Guide.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON MUNICH COURT GARDEN (HOFGARTEN)
The garden is laid out in a formal manner with a number of symetrical water features and flower beds surrounding the central pavillion. There are several diagonal paths to walk around the garden and plenty of benches to sit on too. We spent quite a bit of time here, sat on a bench, people watching and soaking up the summer sunshine which was really relaxing! The gardens are open daily, all year round, from dawn to dusk. Admission is free.
