Englischer Garten, also known as the English Garden, is a massive public park in Munich, Germany, stretching over 910 acres. Established in 1789 by Sir Benjamin Thompson, later Count Rumford, it remains one of the largest urban parks in the world, even larger than New York's Central Park. The name 'English Garden' comes from the park's landscape design, inspired by British landscape gardens. The park features various attractions, including beer gardens, sports facilities, and architectural marvels such as the Monopteros, a circular colonnade atop a hill, and the Chinese Tower, an iconic 25-meter-high pagoda.

Visiting the Englischer Garten is a perfect opportunity for tourists to escape the hustle and bustle of Munich's city life and enjoy an idyllic retreat filled with diverse flora and fauna. While walking through its meandering paths, visitors can discover serene lakes, picturesque bridges, and the Eisbach River, where locals enjoy river-surfing on a surprising standing wave. The park is accessible all year round and hosts various events, including open-air concerts and traditional performances.
