Cross the circle of Gärtnerplatz, the neighbourhood square where Munich's local scene gathers. Sit at a cafe terrace, watch the theatre lights come on and soak in the district's easygoing evening energy.
Full description
Gärtnerplatz is a round, tree-lined square in the Isarvorstadt area, often described as the heart of Munich's trendy, local neighbourhood life. The state theatre dominates one side, and surrounding streets are filled with cafes, bars and independent shops.
There is no formal sight to tick off, so a visit of around 15 minutes suits a passing stop, while many people stay longer for coffee or an evening drink. It is open at all hours and comes alive from lunch through late night, making it a good counterpart to the more formal old town landmarks.
