As we only had coffee here I cannot comment on the food but their cook is Asian and it smelt great. Lots of sunshine here (if there is any) and also has a mini golf course right next to the restaurant. Happily come back here anytime for a meal or coffee.

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.

This park is larger than Central Park and is arguably the largest park in Europe. We only spent a…read morefew hours with our bikes exploring, but we were thrilled with what we discovered around every turn. There's a beautiful river with plenty of waterfront space to relax and even a place to watch surfers practicing. There's a huge beer garden by the Chinese Tower, great for a break or people watching. There's lots of well maintained pathways for walking snd bikes. Munich residents are lucky to have this space!

Marienplatz was one of my favorite places to visit in Munich. The moment we arrived, we were…read moresurrounded by stunning historic architecture that made us stop and admire every building. The square was full of life, with street vendors, talented performers, and a lively crowd that created an unforgettable atmosphere. One of the best parts was the variety of restaurants and cafés nearby. Whether you're looking for authentic Bavarian food, a quick snack, or just a place to relax with a drink while people-watching, there's something for everyone.

Marienplatz perfectly captures the charm and culture of Munich. It's a place where history, architecture, food, and local life all come together. If you're visiting Munich, don't rush through it--take your time, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy everything this incredible square has to offer. It's an experience you won't forget.

It's one of those things you have to witness on your own to believe . In the center of the town is a large clock tower of the chimes on special occasion and at least twice a day. It was lovely just to walk around and take the huge buildings.

I've seen people surf an artificial wave on a cruise ship (YouTube) but seeing folks river surf in…read moreMunchen, was really mind blowing. Eisbach-Welle (ice river waves) had a lot of people queuing on this day and the water is cold and murky - nothing like surfing on Waikiki (I highly recommend this BTW). They looked like they were very disciplined, courteous of one another, and most of all - having a lot of fun. I don't have a thick wet suit and I don't think there is a surf board rental shop here in all of Germany!! So, I think these folks are local and they brought their own surf boards. If there was a rental shop close by, I'd probably give this a try but there are no lifeguards here. Perhaps, they all just look after each other?? FYI, if you haven't surfed, it's like sledding down a hill, it's fun surfing the wave, but to get back out to ride the wave, it's really tiring. But you don't experience that here because it's a standing wave. After a wipe out, the surfers basically went to the bank of the river and back into the queue on either side. After spending some time in Old Town, walk over here and check them out, it's an endless way to check out great form and to dream of being back in Hawaii...

Eisbach-Welle is a popular spot for surfing in the heart of Munich! Located at one end of the…read moreEnglish Garden, surfers surf the waves of the Eisbach river. When I visited in late August, there was a line of surfers on each bank of the river, about 5 surfers deep. Each side took turns surfing the river, 1 surfer at a time. I'd say each surfer spent about a minute surfing before either dropping off or wiping out. There's great views of the surfing from either bank or one could watch on the bridge overhead. At least 100 people were watching when I went. Overall each surfer was considerate of their fellow surfer, in fact you might say they were very mindful and very demure. :P Eisbach-Welle is definitely a fun spot to visit and if you know how to surf, it's definitely worth a try.
