The Olympic Park also has a beautiful collection of cherry blossom trees that provide a picturesque backdrop, especially during the blooming season.
The palace park around the Nymphenburg Palace is another place to see cherry blossoms. The extensive gardens offer a romantic atmosphere.
Westpark is known for its diverse plant life and also has some cherry blossom trees that bloom in spring.
You will also find some cherry trees in Lutipoldpark in the Schwabing district, with a beautiful display of blossoms.

The best time to see the cherry blossoms is usually from late March to early April, depending on the weather conditions. A walk through these parks during the blossom season is a wonderful spring experience!
