Marienplatz might be the star of the show when it comes to Munich parks, but there are numerous other great spots for eating al fresco when the weather is fine. Whether you want to stay in the heart of the city or explore further afield, there’s everything from mini-mountains to weirdly popular grassy roundabouts! Get your picnic blanket at the ready to try out these great spots for lunch in the sun.
By the Isar River
There are many beautiful spots along the Isar to sit back and enjoy the sun. One of the most picturesque is near the Müller´sches Volksbad and muffatswerk, just off ludwigsbruke. Head to the Deutsches Museum tram stop, then follow the smell of BBQs and sound of swimmers down to the riverside. To complete your picnic in true Münchener style, why not cool your crate of Augustiner beer in the river.

Karwendel Nature park
If you have enough time to get out of the city, why not pack up your picnic and head to one of the beautiful Alpine areas near Munich. About two hours from the city, you’ll find Karwendel Nature Park. Covering more than 700 square metres, this national park takes a keen interest in conservation, making a special effort to connect the park to public transport networks. The regional and ICE trains from Munich’s main station will take you directly there, so you can be sure to find your perfect picnic spot.
