Timeline
09:00
Start with a beer at Palast der Republik. This spot is in a former public toilet house and is the place to hang out. On a warm day, you can find a place outside on the ground.
09:15
Walk to Qingyin garden. This small Chinese garden features a pond, ornamental walls, and a mini-pagoda. It is hidden on one of the hills close to the Hauptbahnhof. The garden opens at 09:00, so you will be there right when it opens for the quietest visit.
10:00
Head to Carls Brauhaus for lunch. Opened in April 2014, it serves decent Swabian cuisine. This is a good time to sit down and eat before the afternoon crowds arrive.
10:30
Finish your visit at The Sky Beach. This is a sandy roof top bar on top of the Kaufhof department store close to the main railway station. It is open only in summer time, so check if it is operating.
Local tip
The Qingyin garden closes at dusk or 20:00, whichever comes sooner. Since you are starting at 09:00, you have plenty of time, but keep an eye on the closing time if you stay late.
