Amazing place with nice river, lake, restaurants. You can see a lot of ducks and other animals. The park is very big! You can also find a pitch for voleyball and tennis.

Peaceful garden, plenty of quiet space. Beautiful and tranquil, very clean. Almost 900 acres of green space inside a large city such as Munich. Had a delightful time wandering around the garden.

Lovely place for a walk or run. The garden is very pretty with a natural water body running through it

It also has beer gardens to enjoy a beer post your walk :)

One of the best parks I've ever been to. The sheer size of it is impressive. The rivers flowing through it are nice and the amount of space for people to do all kinds of activities is wonderful. It was super fun to walk around the park on a popular weekend time. The park has multiple Bier Gardens throughout the park that offer great food and excellent Bier.

What a beautiful park. Very clean and perfect to walk or ride your bike. If you want a peaceful time to read a book or try surfing or swimming in the river, this is the best place. Lots of fun!

Lots of open meadows and even dirt walking paths for both bicyclists and joggers. Two rivers traverse the park so it's easy to navigate without many signs along the winding paths

One of the best city parks I have visited in Europe and also one of the largest in the world. Plenty of green spaces, lakes, trees and walking/cycling paths, as well as as several caffes and restaurants across the entire park

The most beautiful park I have visited. Seems like green fields are endless. 😍 Especially the part near the river is quite relaxing. 😎 Best choice for a picnic, yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ or meditation. ☀️

A stunning park for a day out. I have seen it in both summer and fall and each season has its own magic to it. Perfect place for long romantic walks or a picnic (whether it be with your partner, kids or dog).
At the Chinese Tower you can cool off with a beer or warm up with a Glühwein. It is one of the main tourist attractions in Münich for a reason.

What an amazing park in such an industrial city! This park is huge so huge it’s divided into a north and south! Just walking thru in the morning was so peaceful and serene! Lots of open space and doesn’t feel overly crowded at all!

Plenty of beer gardens to stop at for a drink when they’re open! Plenty of directions/signs to help you navigate to park attractions and probably not to get lost haha.

peaceful in every way. You can reach Munich through forests and along the river without hearing the sound of cars. There are also grill zone and sunbathing areas.

What an amazing park in the middle of the city. We went when the weather was perfect - slight drizzle which made everything seem greener and smell amazing!

Had a lovely time walking around and enjoying the fresh air. Wish we could've spent more time in this amazing garden.

A place to visit when in Munich. The English Garden is the largest city park in the world, very peaceful, has many walking paths, places to sit and have a picnic or stop at the Chinese Tower where you can buy delicious food and drinks. Don't miss the unique surfing on the river Eisbah in the English Garden.

Definitely a park to visit when in Munich. The English garden is very peaceful, there are many walking trails, places to sit and have a picnic or stop at the Chinese Tower where you can purchase delicious food and drinks. Don't miss the area where the river surfing 🌊 takes place. Usually 10 or more surfers line up to get their turn. All ages, young and old! We were here at the end of September 2023. Beautiful weather and really enjoyed our stroll though the park. There are maps to help you not get lost, as the park is quite large. Many tours go to the English garden, biking tours, walking tours and we ever saw horseback riding (but not sure if that was a tour). Most of the trails we were on were paved and wide. Enjoy!

This place is gorgeous and the beer garden is a delightful place for lunch. We walked around for hours and enjoyed the shade and flowing water. So many little places to stop and get a drink or relax. Very peaceful. On warmer days you'll see people surfing as well as concerts. Make sure to stop for a drink and some food as well.
