English Garden in Munich

 Nude Sunbathers: As a huge culture shock to the Americans, it is legal to be nude in the English Garden and sun bathers by the masses take advantage of this freedom. Most people enjoying this amazing park do it with clothes on, but be prepared to see quite a few baring it all even if it's far from peak sunbathing hours. It is not uncommon for nudist parents to bring their entire family to the park while in the buff.  The first time we saw it we felt like immature teenager gawking at the naked people, but the next time we strolled through it seemed perfectly normal somehow.

Established in 1789, the English Garden is one of the best urban parks in the World.  Munich's massive green space is not only one of the biggest in Europe, but it is more than twice the size of both New York City's Central Park and London's Hyde Park.  There can be over 100,000 people a day at the English Garden in the Summer, but because the park is so vast you would never notice.
