1. Surfers in the English Garden
Categoría: De aventura, Grupos
Few can believe their eyes when they spot fearless surfers riding an artificially created wave on the Eisbach stream in the English Garden. Despite dangerous undercurrents and verboten (forbidden) signs, wetsuit-clad dudes surf the swell, much to the amusement of crowds on the bridge.

2. Cold beer and deer in Hirschgarten
Categoría: Parejas, Familias, Económico
Possibly the world’s biggest beer garden and among Munich’s best, Hirschgarten seats 8,000 merry folk under its chestnut trees. Sip a Mass (litre) of Augustiner beer, chat to locals and watch deer in the adjacent enclosure – a reminder that this was once a royal hunting ground.

3. Abseiling the Olympic Stadium
The venue of the 1972 Olympic Games was once the hallowed ground of FC Bayern Munich. Today, the Olympic Stadium lures intrepid types with carabiners every day at 4pm. from April to October. Rise to the challenge to abseil 40 metres from the tented glass roof for vertigo-inducing views.

4. Summer dips in Feringasee lake
Categoría: Parejas, Familias, Económico
Hop on the S-Bahn train for a speedy ride north to tree-rimmed Feringasee lake. The clear water is perfect for a refreshing summertime swim and there’s even a sandy beach where skinny-dippers bare all. Get active over a game of volleyball.

All are welcome to join New Munich’s free, 2.5-hour walking tours, held in English, Spanish and German, taking in trophy sights, from the Frauenkirche church to the English Garden. There’s no need to book – simply wear comfortable shoes and turn up at 10.45 am or 1 pm by the column on Marienplatz.
9. Artistic landscapes at Nymphenburg Palace
Categoría: Parejas, Familias, Económico
Little has changed in the baroque Nymphenburg Palace’s grounds since Italian artist Canaletto painted them in 1760. Swans glide, fountains gush, and a canal leads past romantic follies. The gardens are at their best in the late afternoon, when light softens and crowds disperse.

10. Rowing on Kleinhesseloher lake
Categoría: Parejas, Familias, Económico
When the sun’s out, locals row boats around oak-fringed Kleinhesseloher lake in the English Garden. Join them to drift gently across the rippling water to the Seehaus beer garden. Skaters have an unofficial twirl across the frozen lake in winter.
