Timeline
18:44
Start with a late lunch or early dinner at Carls Brauhaus. The Swabian cuisine is decent and the atmosphere is welcoming. Being open until 23:00 on weekdays and 01:00 on weekends, it fits perfectly before the evening rush.
19:29
Walk five minutes to Palast der Republik. This former public toilet house turned pub is the spot for summer nights. Grab a beer from the fast barkeeper and claim your place outside on the ground to wait for the light to change.
20:14
Watch the sun set toward the WNW over the Schlossplatz. The square is a large public green area with lawns and fountains, offering an unobstructed view of the western horizon as the golden light fades.
20:44
End the evening at the Biergarten im Schlossgarten. Just a short walk away, this beautiful setting offers reasonable prices and cafeteria-style ordering. If it is a Sunday between May and September, enjoy free live music while you relax.
Local tip
The Palast der Republik gets busy on weekends, so arrive early to secure a spot outside. The Biergarten closes at 01:00, so keep an eye on the time if you want to stay late.
