Timeline
16:01
Grab a coffee or a light bite at Il Galeone. It is just a minute’s walk from the sculpture and open until 23:00, so it is the perfect easy stop before the rush.
16:16
Walk to the Mae West sculpture. The 52-meter hyperboloid stands in Bogenhausen and is best viewed from the surrounding public space. Arrive early to find a good angle.
16:46
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW around 16:46, casting a warm glow on the carbon fiber structure. This is the key moment for the photo.
17:46
Head to the Harness Racing track. Take the S-Bahn S8 to München-Daglfing. Race meetings are usually on Sundays, so check the website for the schedule if you are visiting on a weekday.
Local tip
The walk from Il Galeone to Mae West is very short. If you prefer a different cuisine, Q&Q Restaurant is also nearby and open until 23:00 on weekdays.
