PUB GARDENS

You may be out of time now, but if you can squeeze in a drink then head for one of the city’s legendary beer gardens. The people of Munich like to socialise outside and the Covid-19 crisis has, if anything, encouraged al fresco drinking and dining, with the city council allowing restaurants and bars to set up tables and chairs in parking bays to make up for lost sales. In winter, patio heaters and lambskin blankets will keep you warm if the alcohol doesn’t. Good options include the Deutsche Eiche, a Munich institution in the Glockenbachviertel; the Spatenhaus ( pictured above), overlooking the opera; and the Café Jasmin, which brings 1950s chic to Augustenstrasse. deutsche-eiche.de, kuffler.de, cafe-jasmin.com
