Timeline
15:52
Arrive at the Gartenfriedhof to walk among the headstones and the Garden Church. The late afternoon light casts long shadows through the trees, creating a serene atmosphere before the sun sets toward the southwest.
16:22
Walk 13 minutes to the Markthalle. The market is open until 20:00 on weekdays, so you have time to grab a snack or a hot drink from the stalls before the evening sets in.
17:07
Head to Restaurant Alexander, just an 8-minute walk away. It is open until 01:00 on weekdays, offering a chance to sit down for a proper dinner with authentic German food and good beer after dark.
17:37
End the night at Brauhaus Ernst-August, a 15-minute walk from the restaurant. The club serves freshly brewed beer and food late into the night, and you might see the local tradition of guest dancing on the tables.
