Overview
One of the world's largest urban parks, laid out in 1789 and covering 375 hectares — bigger than New York's Central Park. The sight of surfers riding the Eisbach river wave even in winter has become an icon of Munich, and the 7,000-seat beer garden by the Chinese Tower (Chinesischer Turm) is Munich's most famous. Mingle with locals jogging, cycling, and sunbathing for a taste of the Bavarian lifestyle. Free entry. 5-minute walk from U-Bahn Universität or Giselastraße (Lines 3/6).
Opening Hours
Open 24 hours (beer garden typically 10:00-23:00).
Travel Tips
The best spot to watch Eisbach surfing is at the Prinzregentenstraße entrance. The Chinese Tower beer garden lets you bring your own food.
