Public Pools, Biking and Fairs

Munich’s Public Pools

Whether it’s summer or winter, kids that love to go for a swim can do so at their heart’s delight in Munich’s numerous public pools, where water slides, diving boards, or artificial waves make going for a dip lots of fun.
Müller’sches Volksbad, an Art Nouveau jewel, is particularly centrally located. Built just before the turn of the century, it is a piece of architectural eye candy you shouldn’t miss if you love going for a swim in a truly exceptional setting. Inside, you will not only find a pool but also an Irish-Roman sweat bath, a sauna, tubs and shower baths as well as a solarium.

Riding a Bike

In und um München ist man mit dem Fahrrad oft flexibler als mit dem Auto. Aufgrund der sehr gut ausgebauten Fahrradwege steht einer aktiven Picknick-Radeltour mit der ganzen Familie, insbesondere in den warmen Sommermonaten, nichts im Wege. Den fahrbaren Untersatz dafür liefern die Fahrrad-Verleihe.

Wer sich körperlich nicht anstrengen möchte, kann sich vom Marienplatz aus von den Münchner Rikschabetreibern durch die Innenstadt chauffieren lassen.

Fairs

Spring and autumn are peak seasons in the fair business. It’s when the Frühlingsfest (Spring Fair) and world-famous Octoberfest lure visitors that are attracted by breezy rides and lots of goodies – from gingerbread hearts to candyfloss.
Three times a year – in May, July and October -, the Auer Dult, a traditional Munich fair, is held at Mariahilfplatz in the Au district. More than 300 stall holders and showmen turn the Auer Dult into a fair that attracts adults and children alike
