Not only we residents of Munich desire once in a while a really relaxing day – I´m sure, even you tourists, often travelling through all Europe sometimes just want to relax and enjoy yourself.
As nice as it is to visit churches and museums and so much more, on some sunny days there is nothing better to do than just hanging around.
In summertime there´s no better place to do so than going to our beautiful English Garden.
The Monopterus in the English Garden
„Garden“ actually is a very confusing name. We are talking of one of the world largest parks! 78 km of trails are expecting you here, much more as you could explore in one day.
It´s beautifully arranged and perfectly located, just in the city center.
The easiest way to get there is by subway number 5, starting from the main station. Get off at the 2nd stop which is „Odeonsplatz“
Otherwise you can even rent a bike for your „garden day“, there are several bike rental places next to our hotel.
Starting from the impressive Odeonsplatz you should walk through the Hofgarten. Signs will lead you into the English Garden. No chance to get lost here 
If you really want to realx properly why not renting a horse drawn carriage and feel like a princess some hundred years ago?
Being now in the southern part of the park you´ll find a lot of impromptu entertainment.
Bands singing their latest songs, drummers giving of their best, cricket players playing off.
What else do you need on a sunny day?
Fresh icecream is sold everywhere, families settle down for a picknick, couples enjoy themselves, Lots of beergardens invite you for a snack and drink.
The most famous one is certainly the one at the Chinese Tower. Here hundreds of tourists listen to traditional bavarian music.
The Chinese Tower with the nice beergarden.
All those we only have thanks to Mr Rumford, the primarly minister of war, more than 200 years ago.
He constructed that park for his soldiers in order to instruct them on agricultural knowledge.
But those times luckily are over since a long time.
So we continue our walk to the little lake, where you can rent boats or feed the ducks.
Behind that lake, in the northern part of the park you will meet much less people. Here you can really lay down and relax.
Little kiosks sell drinks and snacks and you will meet a lot of funny Munich
Little kiosks in the Garden for a short break.
people here – there´s more variety than you might expect.
On your way back you should definitely stop at the japanes teahouse. This japanese garden has been built by occasion of the olympic games in 1972.
Once in a while traditional japanese teaceremonies are celebrated here.
Our friendly staff will be happy to tell you when exactly!
So enjoy your day. Yours Sandra
Hotel Monaco.
