Biergarten at the Chinese Pagoda, Munich, Germany

What better way to start the Munich three-day stop than going to get a beer at the Chinese Pagoda Biergarten!

First morning, I arrived stinky, tired, and thirsty. Paul and Sarah, who I met in Interlaken and met up with again here at Wombat’s hostel, were asleep and hungover from the night before. The cure then, dropping off my bags, refreshing my deodorant, and off for steins of beer.

The Biergarten at the Chinese Pagoda was cool because it was set in the middle of Englischer Garden and along the way, you see surfers riding the canal’s small current, tiny restaurants opening up and getting ready for the day (at 11am!), and people just living life.

The look and set up of this adorable biergarten was both pleasant and humble. Wooden green tables surround the bar making it highly accommodating to order, grab, pay, and sit down to immediately enjoy your purchase. You’ll find along the way many other biergartens and I’m certainly not telling anyone they must go to the Chinese Pagoda, but it’s part of the Munich experience to stop by some of the less famous biergartens (Hofbrauhaus being difficult to always find a seat) and benefit from a new experience.

TGTG Advice: Instead of a purse, buy a daypack. Paul and Sarah introduced me to the wonders of these smaller bags that look like tinier versions of backpacks. It’s easier to carry around your shoulder or in front of your chest and it’s less likely someone can snag it too!
