Start with a coffee or pastry at Café minouche. It is a short walk from the park and opens at 08:00 on weekdays, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the afternoon rush.
15:41
Walk four minutes into the park to Café am Neuen See. Order a beer and find a spot near the water. The beer garden is open from 08:00 on weekdays, and the location offers a clear view toward the southwest where the sun will set.

At sunset, turn your attention to the statue of Theodor Fontane. The sun sets toward the southwest, aligning perfectly with the statue’s placement in the Tiergarten. The golden light from 15:22 will have already bathed the park in a warm glow.
