Hotels near Englischer Garten

Larger than New York's Central Park, the Englischer Garten (English Garden) is one of the world's greatest urban green spaces. Stretching through the heart of the city, the park is a year-round gathering place for locals and visitors. The park's famous Eisbach wave - a standing river wave near the Prinzregentenstrasse southern entrance - draws skilled surfers every single day of the year. The Chinese Tower beer garden (Chinesischer Turm, Englischer Garten 3 - 7,000 seats), the Monopteros Temple (hilltop rotunda with city views), and the Kleinhesseloher See (lake in the northern section) complete a park that is unlike anywhere else.

Pro Tip: Watch the Eisbach surfers from the bridge at Prinzregentenstrasse (south entrance) - it is free, endlessly entertaining, and one of Munich's most unique spectacles. The Chinese Tower beer garden allows you to bring your own food as long as you buy drinks.
