Englischer Garten One of the largest municipal parks in the world, the English Garden is situated between the city center, Schwabing and the Isar river. Its origins date back to 1789, the year in which the Chinese Tower - today one of the main attractions and the centerpiece of a thriving beer garden - was erected . A further attraction, particularly for photographers, is the Monopteros, a pillared monument set on a hill in the park in 1838.
Olympia Park Venue of the XXth Olympic Games in 1972, this beautifully landscaped park is accentuated by the widely acclaimed suspension roof over its main sports facilities.
