Timeline

  1. 17:25

    Café Blá

    Grab a coffee and a slice of cake at this easy-going Icelandic café while the afternoon light is still soft. The outdoor area is pleasant if the weather holds, giving you a chance to settle in before the main event.

  2. 18:10

    Deutsches Museum

    Walk to the Deutsches Museum viewpoint. This enormous science and technology museum sits on an island in the Isar. Position yourself to catch the last rays of sun hitting the architecture as the sky turns toward the WSW. It is a full-day attraction, but for this plan, you are just there for the view and the atmosphere.

  3. 18:55

    Wildmosers

    Head to Wildmosers for dinner. As the sun sets, this restaurant claims to be the birthplace of Munich Weißwurst. The food is excellent, the staff friendly, and the beer, especially Weißbier, is served in copious amounts. Come hungry.

  4. 19:40

    Paulaner am Nockherberg

    Finish the evening at the Paulaner am Nockherberg beer garden. This attractive 3000-seater spot is open year-round. It is a lively place to digest your meal and enjoy the night air with a Paulaner beer.
