English Garden (Englischer Garten) Tours and Tickets

Q: Why is the English Garden (Englischer Garten) in Munich famous?

The English Garden (Englischer Garten) in Munich is famous for being a vast park that covers much of the city’s northeast. Tourists typically flock to the English Garden for its walking and cycling trails, its beer gardens, and for the Eisbachwelle, a spot where you can see locals surf a standing wave on the Eisbach river.

Q: Can I rent bikes or boats to explore the English Garden?

Yes, visitors can rent bikes both in the center of Munich and in the English Garden to explore the trails throughout this expansive park on two wheels. As for renting a paddleboat or rowboat, head to the Kleinhesseloher See lake.

Q: Are there any guided tours available for exploring the English Garden?

Yes, you can explore the English Garden with a guided tour. While many Munich sightseeing and city tours include the English Garden in their itineraries, it may be for only a brief stop passing through. To see the park further, visitors can take bicycle tours and rickshaw tours that dedicate more time to exploring.

Q: Are there any restaurants or cafés within the English Garden for dining?

Yes, the English Garden is home to many eateries. Most venues are beer gardens, where you can order Bavarian cuisine as well as drinks. However, there are a couple of restaurants with indoor dining, including the upscale Seehaus im Englischen Garten restaurant.

Q: Is swimming allowed in the Eisbach river within the English Garden?

No, swimming is not allowed or recommended in the Eisbach river in the English Garden, due to the strength of the current; signs along the river banks clearly advise visitors not to swim. Instead, locals usually go for a swim in the Schwabinger Bach, a gentle stream with open lawns on either side.

Q: Can I bring my dog to the English Garden?

Yes, dogs are allowed in the English Garden, as long as they are kept on a leash. Be sure to check city rules regarding which breeds must wear a muzzle in public and which must be kept on a short leash.

The Perfect Start to Munich!

This was the perfect way to start our Munich trip! Seeing the infamous Munich sights early in the morning was relaxing and unforgettable, but having “Andy” as our guide made the day even better! He was full of knowledge, but we also enjoyed how much fun he was to be around. This tour is a great way to familiarize yourself with Munich!

Avidesh_S, Feb 2026

Loved it.

We had a fantastic experience on the Private Munich Rickshaw City Tour and English Garden tour. Andreas was an excellent guide, friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to throughout. He shared interesting insights about the city while keeping the ride relaxed and enjoyable. Seeing Munich from a rickshaw gives you a different perspective, and the route through the English Garden was a real highlight. It felt personal and unhurried, with plenty of opportunities to take in the surroundings and ask questions. A great way to explore the city in comfort.
