Timeline
15:16
Grab a pre-dinner drink or light bite at the rotating Restaurant 181. The 181 refers to its height within the Olympic Tower. The service can be snooty, but the view is unmatched.
16:16
Walk down to the Olympiapark. This is the perfect spot to catch the sun dipping below the horizon toward the WSW. The park was built for the 1972 Summer Olympics and offers open, expansive views.
16:46
Watch the sunset. The golden light fades quickly in January, so arrive early to secure a good spot on the grass or near the Olympiaberg.
17:31
Head to the Olympia-Alm beer garden just east of the Olympiaberg. It is a small, authentic beer garden perfect for settling in after the chill of the evening wind.
Local tip
Restaurant 181 is pricey and service can be stiff. If you want a more relaxed atmosphere with equally stunning views, the Olympia-Alm beer garden is a local favorite that stays open until late.
