Timeline
15:14
Grab a drink at Mata Hari Bar. It is a small, atmosphere-packed place where it is easy to strike up a conversation. Arrive early to secure a spot before it gets crowded.
16:14
Walk 6 minutes NNE to St Lawrence Church. This 15th-century church dominates the south side of the old town. Position yourself inside near the large windows or just outside to frame the facade against the fading light.
16:44
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 16:44, casting a warm glow on the historic architecture. The golden light begins at 15:50, so the church will be illuminated from the side before the sun dips below the horizon.
17:29
Head 12 minutes away to Bratwursthäusle for dinner. This regional restaurant in the old city centre specializes in roasted sausages. It is one of the most frequented spots in town, so be prepared for a lively atmosphere and potential wait.
