Pick up some baguettes and snacks at this cute little French cafe near the park. It is tiny, so go early to secure a spot or just take your food to go. If it is full, try the sister shop Petit Fleury nearby.

Walk up the sloping grounds of Volkspark am Weinberg. Find a sunny patch on the grass or a bench to sit and watch the golden light fade. The park is 24/7 and perfect for sunbathing, relaxing, or playing the guitar.
16:41
Head to Clärchens Ballhaus for dinner. This traditional dance hall and restaurant established in 1913 features a hall of mirrors. Hot food is served until 22:30, so you will have plenty of time to eat before the evening's main event.
17:21
Stay for a drink or dance. The garden closes at 23:00, but the dance floor opens at 21:00. You can enjoy events ranging from Disco to Salsa, Tango, and Swing. Entrance is usually free on weeknights.
Local tip
Clärchens Ballhaus is a beloved local institution. If you prefer a quieter end to the night, the garden area offers a more relaxed atmosphere before the dancing starts.
