Timeline

  1. 15:40

    Kraftraum

    Grab a bite at Kraftraum. This meat-free bistro is well-established and offers a large menu with breakfast and brunch options, providing a lighter alternative to heavy Franconian cuisine.

  2. 16:10

    Maisel's Brewery and Coopers Museum

    Walk to the Maisel's Brewery and Coopers Museum. Arrive just before the 14:00 daily tour starts to secure a spot. The 90-minute tour covers the entire brewing process and finishes with a glass of Maisel's Weissbier, giving you a perfect pre-sunset drink.

  3. 17:00

    Court Garden

    Stroll through the Court Garden. Located just a short walk from the brewery, this park offers a welcome bit of green in the city center. On sunny days, it is a popular spot for locals to relax, making it a pleasant place to watch the sun set.

  4. 17:40

    Herzogkeller

    End the evening at Herzogkeller. As Bayreuth's largest Biergarten, it dates back to 1889 and is part of the Maisel's group. It opens daily from 16:00, so it is fully open and ready for you after sunset.

Local tip

The brewery tour is daily at 14:00, but you can enter the Liebesbier beer bar in the renovated brewery building from 17:00 if you prefer a more casual drink after the tour.
