19:15
Grab a seat at Café 100. This full-service spot offers a calm atmosphere with café, wine, and pub options just two minutes from the viewing area. It is open until 03:00 on weekdays and weekends, so you can settle in comfortably before the rush.
19:45
Walk the short four minutes to the Fürstenzug. Position yourself where the light hits the long porcelain tile mural best. Arrive by 19:15 to catch the golden light building before the sun dips below the horizon at 20:00.
20:30
Augustiner an der Frauenkirche
End the evening at Augustiner an der Frauenkirche, a four-minute walk away. Enjoy some Bavarian and Saxon food and their famous Munich beer in a setting that stays lively until midnight.
Local tip
The Fürstenzug is a long wall. The golden light reflects most vividly on the tiles facing west-southwest. Bring a light layer; evenings near the river can cool down quickly after sunset.
