The Monopteros in the southern part of the English Garden is one of the most popular sights. It stands on a small hill and offers the most beautiful view across the meadows into the lush greenery.
The Haus der Kunst presents an interdisciplinary program with contemporary artistic contributions. But a look at the neoclassical building, which is steeped in history, is also very interesting.

Eisbachwelle – world-famous attraction in Munich
