Munich · Things to do

Daily food market running since 1807, with a beer garden in the middle that rotates its brewery through the year.

Beer garden around a wooden pagoda in the Englischer Garten, open from 11:00 in dry weather, 10:00 at weekends.

Old Masters on Barer Straße, closed Mondays, 7 euros - and just 1 euro on Sundays, the best deal in the city.

The 1972 tent-roof park on Spiridon-Louis-Ring: tower views, a stadium roof climb and lakes to paddle on.

South of the centre the renaturalised river becomes Munich's beach: gravel banks, cold water and barbecue smoke.
