    Fräulein Grüneis

    Start with a coffee and a pastry at Fräulein Grüneis. It is just a three-minute walk from the museum entrance, making it the perfect easy start before the crowds gather.

  2. 15:46

    Bayerisches Nationalmuseum

    Enter the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum. Spend an hour wandering the halls of armour, porcelain, and medieval art. The building itself is a stunning backdrop for the approaching light.

    Bayerisches Nationalmuseum

    Step outside onto the grounds just as the sun dips below the horizon. The fading golden light from the west highlights the architecture and creates a calm, reflective atmosphere.

  4. 17:31

    P1 Club

    End the evening at P1 Club. This posh lounge with a large outdoor terrace is only six minutes away. It offers a sophisticated spot to digest the day’s culture with a nightcap.

Local tip

The museum is open until 20:00 on Thursdays, but on this January evening it closes at 17:00. Arrive early enough to see the interior before the final entry time. P1 Club opens at 08:00, so it is ready for your late start.
