Our Top 5 Munich Biergartens

Take an Independent Tour of The Best Munich Beer Gardens

 

 
James and I love traveling to Germany, and Munich is probably our favorite city – not just in Germany, but of all the cities we’ve visited around the world. Munich has it all: museums, cafes, art, history, shopping, and, of course, beer. When most folks think of Germany, they think of men in lederhosen, women in dirndls, big glasses of beer, and Oktoberfest. You don’t have to go to Oktoberfest to get all of the best of Munich’s laid-back beer traditions, though. From spring, when the chestnut trees are blooming, through fall, when the autumn chill starts setting in, the Biergartens are festive and fun places to drink a Maß of beer, eat hearty food, and enjoy the company of several thousand of your fellow beer drinkers.

There’s nothing quite like a Bavarian Biergarten, and these are our Top 5 Munich Biergartens that you shouldn’t miss.
