Grab a bite and a beer at Faun. This bistro offers affordable Bavarian and international cuisine with an Art Nouveau ceiling and outdoor seating. It is open until 01:00 on weekdays and 01:00 on weekends, so it is fully operational for an afternoon snack.
16:17
Walk to the Old South Cemetery. Enter through the main north entrance where St Stephan's church stands. This 16th-century burial ground holds 14,000 citizens, including Josef von Fraunhofer and Friedrich von Gärtner. The cemetery is open from 08:00 to 20:00 daily.
16:47
Stand near the graves facing west-south-west. The sun sets in this direction around 16:47, casting long shadows across the historic headstones and creating a quiet, golden atmosphere among the tombs.
17:32
End the evening at Bahnwärter Thiel. This techno club and cultural centre is housed in graffiti-covered ship containers and discarded subway cars. It is open until 22:00, giving you time to settle in before it gets too late.
Local tip
The cemetery is free to enter and open late, but the bars nearby close earlier. Bahnwärter Thiel closes at 22:00, so plan your evening accordingly.
