Timeline
15:52
Grab a hot chocolate and a slice of Sacher Chocolate Cake. This is the best spot in town for both, and the cozy atmosphere helps you settle in before the main event.
16:17
Walk to Rasch Square to find the Hangover installation. The three polyester and aluminium Volkswagen sculptures hang upside down beneath the overpass. Position yourself for the clearest view of the western sky.
16:37
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the SW, casting a final glow on the unusual sculpture against the evening sky.
16:57
End the evening with a proper dinner. Head to Restaurant Alexander for great schnitzel and authentic German food. The menu is large, and the beer selection is solid.
