Top Parks in Germany

If you're a photog, the best light for pictures is either early morning or late afternoon – golden hour vibes! I forgot that and missed some epic shots.

Don't miss the BMW Museum nearby. It’s a bit of a walk, but totally worth it. I recommend doing that first before hitting the park, so you have energy to explore.

Take a leisurely stroll around the lake. It's so peaceful, and I found it was the calmest spot in the whole park. You won't regret taking a moment to just breathe it all in.

If you're into museums, don’t forget to check out the Marstallmuseum. It's included with your entrance ticket and showcases some cool royal carriages that you won't want to miss.

If you can, try visiting early in the morning around 8 AM. The park is so peaceful then, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery without the crowds. Bring your camera, you'll want to snap some pics!

If you're into biking, I suggest renting a bike for the day. It’s an awesome way to explore the park, and there's so much to see. Just watch out for the occasional jogger though; they can sneak up on you!

I think it’s worth spending some extra time at the petting zoo area. It’s usually less crowded in the early afternoon, and the animals are super friendly—definitely a highlight for kids!

Don’t forget your camera! The flower displays are absolutely stunning, and you might want to spend some time capturing those blossoms in full bloom. Trust me, you'll wanna remember this place

When you arrive, head straight to the main pond area. It’s a great spot for photos and not too far from the paths leading to other attractions. That’s where I first felt the magic of the park!

If you’re looking to save some time download a park map before you go. I got a bit lost wandering around at first and the layout can be confusing if it’s your first time.

If you want to escape the crowds, visit on a weekday. I went on a Saturday and it was packed, but when I returned on a Tuesday, I had the place almost to myself!

If you're into photography, I definately recommend visiting in the golden hour, just before sunset. The light is just stunning and you won't regret it.

I found the best time to visit West Park is around 9 AM when it's quieter and perfect for a nice walk. Grab a coffee from a nearby café before you head in!

I recommend bringing a good camera or your phone fully charged! The gardens are incredibly photogenic, especially during the golden hour before sunset.

If you're on a budget, pack a light picnic! There are plenty of lovely spots to sit and enjoy your snacks without spending a dime on overpriced cafe food.

Arrive early, like around 8 am, to enjoy the peace and quiet before the crowds show up. I did this and it was so nice walking around without bumping into too many people.

I suggest bringing a blanket and some snacks for a nice picnic by the water. It’s such a chill vibe and way cheaper than eating out! We enjoyed it so much more than we thought we would.

I recommend getting there around 4 PM. The park really comes alive then, plus it’s less crowded, so you can snag a good spot to relax.

Make sure to check out the little beach areas. I didn't think they’d be as nice, but they were perfect for a quick dip during a hot day. Just remember your towel!

I totally recommend visiting in the spring or early fall when the weather’s mild. Summer can be a bit too hot for long hikes, and the park gets crowded

bring some snacks and water - trust me, there aren’t many shops inside the park. i had to hike back to get food because i didn’t plan ahead.
