A huge park in the middle of the city. With a clean river in the middle of it so clean people use to have bath in it. There's a point where boys do surf in the river (inside Munich!) In 1 hour walk, did not find any waste left around. Forest size trees and big grass lands Wish I had... More

I have been to Munich a few times and it was never mentioned to go to the gardens. Basically, it is a green forest oasis (not really a garden) basically in the hear of Munich to stroll, walk and have authentic, inexpensive food listening to a local band playing. Great place to relax and see the "real" Munich. More

Enjoyed an afternoon at the English Garden - sitting in the sun at the Chinese Tower, drinking beer with the locals, and listening to the band. A perfect time! More

I think I'm a little spoiled because I saw Burchart Gardens in BC, Canada last year...big, elaborate flower gardens. The English Garden was more like a Central Park...pleasant enough, but I was expecting something different. I did enjoy watching the surfers. More
