Climb to the Friedensengel, the golden Angel of Peace watching over the Isar. Take in the mosaics and the viewing deck, then settle on the steps for a sunset over the city.
Full description
The Friedensengel, or Angel of Peace, is a gilded monument crowned with a golden angel, set in a small park on the rise above the Isar river. Mosaics and a viewing deck add to the site, and wide steps by the monument make a natural place to sit.
Reviewers single out dusk as the best time, when the light catches the gold and locals bring pizza and drinks to watch the sunset. The river path nearby invites a relaxed walk.
A visit takes around 20 minutes, longer if you linger for the view.

Great spot to watch the sunset, sitting on the stairs by the monument. It wasn’t particularly busy on a Tuesday in June. Lots of people brought pizzas with them.
