📖

Full description

Alter Südfriedhof is a historic cemetery in the Isarvorstadt, valued for its wide variety of grave monuments, from ornate tombstones to angel statues, some dating back centuries. Greenery and dappled light between the stones give it a park-like calm, and visitors often stumble on it by chance while exploring the district.

Unlike many Munich green spaces it keeps set daytime hours, roughly 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on the days listed. A slow walk of around half an hour suits solo travellers and anyone interested in the city's cultural past.
