Catch the last warm light over the city, then settle into the relaxed rhythm of the university district.

Best time: sunsetAbout 150 min

Timeline

  1. 17:37

    Glashaus

    Grab a fair-trade coffee or tea at the Glashaus. Run by student volunteers, this is the cultural heart of the campus and a perfect spot to wait out the afternoon chill before heading out.

  2. 18:02

    Court Garden

    Walk 11 minutes north-northwest to the Court Garden. It is a welcome patch of green in the city center where residents relax. The late afternoon sun is still bright here, offering a pleasant prelude to the evening.

  3. 18:22

    Court Garden

    Stay in the Court Garden area as the sun sets toward the WSW. The golden light from 17:38 fades into twilight, giving the park a quiet, reflective atmosphere as the day ends.

  4. 18:42

    Manns-Bräu

    Head 15 minutes south to Manns-Bräu for dinner. This regional restaurant is open until 23:00, making it a reliable choice for an early evening meal after the sunset.

  5. 19:22

    Glashaus

    Finish the night back at the Glashaus. It stays open late, and the student-run venue provides a casual, low-pressure environment to wind down with a drink after dinner.
