Munich is a leafy city with large parks. Munich's immense, world-famous English Garden (Englischer Garten) covers over 3.71 km2 and is one of the largest urban parks in the world. The 16th-century Hofgarten is the city's oldest park. The Olympic Park offers panoramic views of the city and the Alps, and can be spotted from afar thanks to its 290-metre-high TV tower.

Typical dishes include cooked white sausages (weißwurst) and leberkäs, a type of hot sausage. They should, of course, be served with a bagel (leberkässemmel) or a Brezn (Bavarian for pretzel). Weißwurst is a type of white pudding that Münchners often eat for breakfast. Obazda is an interesting must-try - a salty mixture of smooth cottage cheese, butter and Camembert, spiced up with pepper and paprika and served with savoury bread sticks.
Schweinsbraten is pork roasted in beer, served with potato dumplings called Kartoffelknödel. Auszogne are doughnuts. You'll find plenty of delicious specialities at the Viktualienmarkt. Munich is famous for its beer and the annual Oktoberfest.
