Timeline

  1. 15:11

    Asamkirche

    Stand before the Asamkirche as the early winter light catches the ornate facade. Arrive before the doors open at 09:00 to enjoy the quiet exterior and the play of light on the stucco.

  2. 16:11

    Viktualienmarkt

    Walk eight minutes to Viktualienmarkt. The market is open and bustling by this time. Grab a warm breakfast item or fresh coffee from one of the stalls to keep warm in the morning chill.

  3. 16:41

    Augustiner Stammhaus

    End the morning at Augustiner Stammhaus, a six-minute walk away. Enter the historic beer hall founded in 1294. It is open from 11:00, but if you arrive slightly early, you can wait in the adjacent seating area or pop in right as it opens to secure a table for a traditional meal.

Local tip

The golden light in winter is brief. Keep your movements brisk between the church and the market to maximize the light before heading indoors for food.
