 A little oasis |
Sachsenstraße 9 Au Munich, Bayern 81543 Germany |
If you follow the River Isar south, you will find the Städtischer Rosengarten (the City Rose Garden) just after Wittelsbach bridge, quite close to the river. Everyone who knows about the garden is irresistibly drawn to it for its peace and tranquility. It is an oasis right in the heart of the city, with its many trees and shrubs, exotic and ordinary. The city's gardeners have also created a delightful rose garden, with countless different varieties. The gardens also function as a tree nursery for the city's public spaces and, occasionally, for private customers. Finally, another interesting feature, if only for academic purposes, is the garden of poisonous plants. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Hellabrunn wildlife park |
Tierparkstraße 30 Thalkirchen Munich, Bayern 81543 Germany +49 89 62 5080 http://www.zoo-munich.de office@zoo-munich.de |
Hellabrunn Wildlife Park was founded in 1928 and was the world's first 'geo zoo', meaning that the 5,000 different species are exhibited according to their geographical origins. The spacious grounds on the plains of the River Isar lend themselves perfectly to a relaxing stroll. The elephant and predator enclosures and the huge aviary are well worth seeing and the feeding times (ask for information at the entrance) are a must. It is a good idea to go during the week because the zoo tends to fill to bursting point at the weekend. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Sunbathing on the banks of the Isar |
Thalkirchen Munich, Bayern 81371 Germany |
When the sun's out in the summer, Munich has a real holiday feel. As well as going to the open-air swimming pools, locals like to gather on the banks of the River Isar to perfect their tan. The Flaucher, close to the zoo, is the most popular spot, and on a sunny weekend, all hell breaks loose. After all, if you have been working on your tan all day, you need fortifying in the evening. On warm summer nights, the Flaucher is full of locals enjoying a barbecue and a couple of drinks. The best way to get here is via Thalkirchner Bridge; it then takes about ten minutes on foot. This is the native's beach substitute and in the summer, you'll always find people perfecting their tan here. Spend a warm evening having a barbecue here with your friends. The Flauchersteg leads to a lovely path that will get you to the Thalkirchner Bridge in about 10 minutes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The perfect place to relax |
Preßburger Straße Sendling Munich, Bayern 81377 Germany |
Commissioned for the International Garden Show in 1983, the Westpark is an outdoor paradise. The area (comprising 720,000 square metres) is divided into different sections, the most unusual of which is the East Asian Garden. There is a large lake with an amphitheatre, several playgrounds and plenty of space to relax and feel at ease. In the summer, the open-air stage is used to present plays, concerts and films (see the daily press for details). Review © 2007, Wcities |
