Very central location for spending quality time in a historic garden. In winter they cover the fountains. It‘s a 5 minute-walk to a spectacular view in Englisher garden from there!

Amazing and beautiful park to sit down and relax. Loved going there to grab a bench and read.

Mitten in der Stadt eine gepflegte Parkanlage und Durchgang zur Staatskanzlei und Brunnenwerk. In der Mitte befindet sich ein Tempel in dem auch Musik gespielt wird. Der Biergarten bleibt noch zu erwähnen. U Bahnhaltestelle U6 Odeonsplatz.

Wonderful park for a walk, a cold drink(no need to mention the kind here:) ), reading and relaxing! If you go on a Friday night, just follow the music and you’ll end up watching people dancing! One of my favorites in Munich, day&night!

Beautiful place especially during the spring and summer time because of colorful flowers that you can find in the gardens. There is a path leading to the English Garden. I recommend take the route from Odeon Platz through hofgarten till Englischgarten. you will enter and witness the paintings on the wall related to Bavaria's history. Built between 1613-1617 and renovated after ww2 , you will pass through a very crowded place with mostly people playing the game of throwing a steel ball. you will see also a long hall of high class shops and art galleries. in the middle you will pass through Diana's temple where a lot of musicians plays so you will walk with music. at the end you will see the new Bavaria's parliament building and the war memorial.

Wunderschöner Park mit vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten und Bäumen, die zum verweilen einladen. Vom Eingang kommend liegt rechts die Residenz und am Ende die bayerische Staatskanzlei. Diese Gebäude runden den Garten schön ab.

This beautiful and peaceful garden is located right in the middle of Munich. A very good place for a relaxed walk.

Beautifull Park in English style. Often musicians playing some music. Place to relax and make some refreshing before hard week.
Little jealous that I don’t have such a place in my town.
