Timeline
11:00
Arrive at the Brücke-Museum right when it opens at 11:00. The museum is closed on Mondays, so this is the perfect quiet time to view the works of the Dresden art collaborative without the crowds. Spend about 45 minutes exploring the collection.
11:55
Walk 10 minutes to Café Melanie. It is one of the most longstanding cafés in Steglitz and Friedenau. Order a coffee or a cocktail here. The hours are 09:00 to close, so it is fully open and ready for a relaxed break.
12:30
Walk 5 minutes from the café to the Bierpinsel. This landmarked building from 1976 looks like a futuristic observation tower and a pop-art beer brush. It is a striking piece of public art that stands out against the sky.
13:00
End your visit with lunch at Piazza Venezia, an Italian restaurant just a 4-minute walk from the Bierpinsel. It is open from 11:30 to 23:00 on weekdays and 15:00 to 23:00 on Mondays, making it a convenient spot for a late lunch after your morning walk.
Local tip
