The best things to do in Munich in Summer<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

No city in Germany has more to offer than Munich. So why not come with me on a tour of the best places for chilling, barbecuing… just enjoying the summer!<\/p>\n

Munich\u2019s Top 7 green spaces<\/h3>\n

Cities don\u2019t come much greener! Not for nothing is Munich regularly voted one of the world\u2019s nicest places to live, and Germany\u2019s favourite city. As well as a great location close to the Alps and a low crime rate, Munich also boasts a stunning landscape of meadows, parks and streams, making it the perfect holiday location.
\nSo how about a spot of \u2018park-hopping\u2019 next time you visit?
\nHere I recommend my seven favourite (free!) Munich locations, all of them great places to sunbathe, relax and experience the city at its vibrant best \u2013 \u2018just like a local\u2019!<\/p>\n

\"Things

    \n
  1. \n

    Englischer Garten:<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Riding the waves, sipping a cold beer at the Chinesischer Turm, soaking up some sun by the pool, or maybe enjoying a spot of horse-riding \u2013 all this and more is on offer in the Englischer Garten, one of the world\u2019s largest urban parks and the beating heart of this amazing city. Of course, no visit is complete without dropping by to watch the surfers \u2018do their thing\u2019 on the legendary waves near the Haus der Kunst gallery. And if you need to cool off, why not treat yourself to an invigorating dip in the popular Eisbach creek? Just relax and drift away – you can always take the tram back! Alternatively, why not chill out on the grass or even try your hand at slacklining \u2013 all the rage here when the weather\u2019s good!<\/p>\n

    \"Things

      \n
    1. \n

      Isar:<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The tranquil waters of the river Isar provide an oasis of calm for the people of Munich. While the Englischer Garten can sometimes be a bit like a catwalk, the pace down by the river is a little slower. Just unpack that picnic and your afternoon is sorted – with just the occasional passing dinghy to disturb your peace. Close to the Reichenbach bridge (U-Bahn stop: Fraunhoferstrasse) you\u2019ll find the city\u2019s best and only \u201cSp\u00e4ti\u201d, a kiosk open round the clock for all those last-minute purchases. And fans of longboarding can look forward to cruising a well-paved trail several kilometres long.<\/p>\n

      \"Things

        \n
      1. \n

        Flaucher:<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        For the ultimate barbecue location, the beach area known as the Flaucher takes some beating. Take the U6 underground line to Tierpark and just follow the throng of people heading across the bridge. You\u2019ll be greeted by an amazing sight – the gravel banks of the Isar shrouded in smoke from countless barbecues, row upon row of them on warm days – transforming the entire area into one massive open-air party. You can also cycle or longboard along the Isar \u2013 highly recommended! Just don\u2019t forget your BBQ gear…<\/p>\n

        \"Things

          \n
        1. \n

          G\u00e4rtnerplatz:<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          This really is \u201cthe place to be\u201d when the sun goes down! And what better way to spend a balmy summer\u2019s evening \u2013 ideally at the end of a relaxing day by the Isar – than to throw a few things in a bag, grab a bottle of wine and head to the square known as G\u00e4rtnerplatz. Situated right at the heart of the trendy Glockenbach district, there is so much more to this delightful spot than just a roundabout with pretty flowers!<\/p>\n

          A big bonus – when your alcohol stocks are running low the local \u201cSzenedrink\u201d in Baaderstrasse is open late so you can replenish your supplies! Then if the \u2018late-night nibbles\u2019 strike, there\u2019s always the option of a currywurst and chips at the legendary Bergwolf restaurant and, if a good club is on your agenda, the Downtown Flash is just a stone\u2019s throw away.<\/p>\n

          \"Things

            \n
          1. \n

            Olympiapark:<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The view over the city from the Olympic Hill (the bonus is it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the top) really is unsurpassed! One glimpse of the Alps beyond Munich\u2019s magnificent skyline is enough to convince anyone that this really is a unique and incredible city. There\u2019s also plenty to enjoy lower down, and a stroll round the lake is definitely not to be missed. If you are lucky there might even be a waterski lift set up by the water, as happens when the annual \u201cimpark Summer Festival\u201d<\/a> comes to town in July. An additional highlight at this time of year is the Tollwood festival<\/a>, with music for all tastes, plus a colourful array of stalls selling alternative arts and crafts and exotic foods.<\/p>\n
