Karlsplatz

Fodor's Review:

In 1755 Eustachius Föderl opened an inn and beer garden here, which became known as the Stachus. The beer garden is long gone, but the name has remained—locals still refer to this busy intersection as the Stachus. One of Munich's most popular fountains is here—it acts as a magnet on hot summer days, when city shoppers and office workers seek a cool place to relax. In winter it makes way for an ice-skating rink. It's a bustling meeting point.

  • Metro: Karlsplatz (U-bahn and S-bahn)
