Englischer Garten (English Garden) is one of the largest urban parks in Europe, and even bigger than New York’s Central Park, and provides an oasis in the heart of busy Munich. Locals and tourists come to stroll, cycle, sunbathe, picnic and even swim in the river. Other attractions include the Seehaus restaurant and the Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower), both with great beer gardens, the Japanisches Teehaus (Japanese Teahouse) and the Monopteros, a Greek-style temple. During summer months, there is boating on the Kleinhesseloher (a lake in the centre of the park) and open-air concerts and theatre at the scenic Amphitheater.
