⚠️Marienplatz area
📋 The Bottom Line
Munich is one of Germany's most family-friendly cities. The massive English Garden, numerous beer gardens (which genuinely welcome families), and efficient transit system make it excellent for stroller parents. The old town around Marienplatz has some cobblestones but is manageable. Bavarian culture is warmly welcoming to children — you'll see families everywhere, and most restaurants have high chairs and kids' menus.
