Take a short break at the Wittelsbacher Brunnen, a monumental fountain beside a quiet park on Maximiliansplatz. Study the sculpted bull and horse riders up close, and return in the evening to see the lit water.
Full description
The Wittelsbacher Brunnen marks the start of a green public space on Maximiliansplatz, built in the late 1800s. Two sculpted figures, one riding a bull and the other a horse, anchor the composition, and the stonework draws praise from visitors for its detail.
The water is illuminated after dark, which makes the evening a good time to see it. It is open around the clock and free to visit, and a 15-minute stop is plenty.
Reviewers describe the surroundings as calm, with people sitting beside it to read or study.

Cool fountain that begins a public park space with a venue directly behind it. They were having a party the evening we passed it.
