Timeline
15:47
Start your 90-minute guided tour of the Bavaria Filmstadt sets. The tour is in German, so keep an eye on the atmosphere and the lighting as the afternoon light begins to fade. Arriving an hour before sunset ensures you finish just in time to see the exterior bathed in golden light.
16:42
Take a short bike ride (or check the route) to the Waldwirtschaft beer garden. Order a Spaten beer and grab something from the self-service buffet. The riverside spot is spacious, so you will likely find a seat with a view of the water as the sun dips low.
17:07
End the evening back at the Bavaria Filmstadt entrance or nearby if you have a car, or simply enjoy the quiet of the studio grounds after the crowds have left. The transition from the busy beer garden to the stillness of the film sets provides a calm close to the day.
Local tip
The guided tour is only in German. If you do not understand the language, focus on the visual history of the sets and the changing light on the facades as it is the most atmospheric part of the experience.
