What to do in Munich
In southern Germany, the capital of Bavaria is known for its beer garden (“beer garden”, in Portuguese), in parks and urban sectors of the city, where locals serve beer in areas equipped with collective benches and catering services.
Munich, 380 kilometers from Frankfurt and home to the traditional Oktoberfest, is one of the most popular destinations for tasting “liquid bread”, as the drink was known among the monks.
According to Germany’s official tourism department, the country produces around five thousand different types of beer, also known as “liquid gold”, produced in more than 1,300 breweries, most of them in Bavaria.
But just when we thought it was no longer possible to surprise us, Munich presents itself with another unusual experience.
Considered one of the largest urban parks in the world, the Englischer Garten is an address for urban surfing, on a stretch of the Eisbach River with strong currents, known as the “Eisbach wave”. This is because a stone step generates frequent waves about half a meter high and with different degrees of difficulty.
However, it is worth remembering that, although surfing is permitted, bathing or swimming is not permitted in both sections of the river, where the water temperature varies between 10°C and 17°C.
Amateurs can try their luck at Floßlände, an old pier for loading and unloading rafts, where “the world’s oldest surfable river wave” forms and is best suited to beginners, the best time being from May in September, when the canal receives more water.
