GERMANY: Time together is the most precious gift in the world. And with these 5 tips for a romantic getaway in Munich, time with the one you love will become something very special:

Stroll Hand in Hand through the English Garden

After starting your day with breakfast at the Adina Hotel Munich, head to the English Garden - Munich's largest park stretching from the Altstadtring to the western bank of the shimmering blue Isar. Stroll hand in hand through the spacious lush, green parklands and be sure to take in the panoramic views of the Monopteros temple. Or, stroll along the river to the famous Eisbach wave, where surfers pull epic stunts before diving into the canal. For something truly romantic (and a little old school), consider a horse-drawn carriage ride. And when evening rolls around, consider a picnic at sunset.

Feel like King and Queen at Nymphenburg Palace

More than 325-years-old, Nymphenburg Palace is one of the largest and most important palaces in Germany. Here, you can admire the famous gallery of King Ludwig I, where his mistress Lola Montez is depicted alongside women from various social classes. Three onsite museums share fascinating stories of the royals who lived and loved in the castle. And, when the sightseeing is done, stroll through castle grounds with its meandering streams, bridges and statues. Insider Tip: Take a romantic gondola ride on the palace canal and soak in the views. Who needs Venice?

Date Night Under the Stars

The cinema is always a good idea for a date night, but how about an open-air cinema under the starry night sky? In Munich, there are two - "Kino, Mond und Sterne" in the Westpark or the cinema at Lake Olympia. Whether you prefer a romantic comedy or a Hollywood blockbuster, sitting under the stars on a balmy summer night is the perfct way to say "I love you". Make it a night to remember by booking a "date night package" which incudes a love seat, prosecco and a throw rug.

Gliding on Water at Lake Starnberg

If you're planning to linger a little longer, include Lake Starnberg on your staycation itinerary. Situtated about a 30 minutes train ride from the city, it's an easy spot to get to and a lot of fun for lovers of the outdoors. Hire a pedal boat and take a romantic glide out on the water and soak in the Alpine panorama and sunshine. 

From the Ferris Wheel to a Romantic Dinner

The hip Werkviertel-Mitte district is home to Munich's Ferris wheel “Umadum". We think you can't beat a ride high in the clouds overlooking the historic city at dusk. And, if the mood takes you, book a drinks package with wine or perhaps even the marriage proposal package... Our tip is to end the evening with a romantic dinner at The Fitzroy in the gorgeous Adina Hotel Munich, where you can sit back and enjoy delicious cocktails and Australian cuisine. As the tallest hotel in the city, round off the romantic evening with a sundowner on their cosy rooftop terrace.

Thanks to its central location, the Adina Hotel Munich offers the perfect romantic stay. Explore nearby experiences above with your loved one, or simply spend quality time together at the hotel. There's a pool, sauna and rooftop terrace, plus the comfort and privacy of spacious apartment living.
