München is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. German addresses put the street name before the house number, followed by the five-digit postcode and the town, as in "Marienplatz 8, 80331 München". The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

BEAUTIFUL park a stone's throw from the main train station. SAFE child playground which forbids adults entering unless accompanied by kids. WONDERFUL bierhof that services a good selection of beers and great value daily lunches.

Small but charming botanical garden. Really accessible from anywhere and a few minutes from the U-Bahn station. There are lots of benches to sit and relax.

Fantastic Botanical garden; especially in mid September when everything is at its peak growth and there are MANY dahlias. The vegetable variety is extensive and there are so many plants, bushes, trees, variety of gardens, statues, and we attended the mushroom exhibition which was outstanding!

Although it’s no longer a working botanical garden, the park retains a classical elegance with its landscaped paths, fountains, and lush greenery. The Neptune Fountain at the center adds a touch of grandeur, surrounded by benches where you can relax and people-watch. In spring and summer, the blooming flowerbeds and shaded lawns make it a beautiful place for a picnic or a calm stroll. One of the best parts of visiting is its location—just a few minutes’ walk from Munich Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) and the busy Karlsplatz/Stachus area.
