Meeting point

Frauenkirche Church

On arrival

We’ll meet outside, right in front of the entrance to the Frauenkirche cathedral.

Look for me, I’ll have a tablet slung over my shoulder, so I’ll be easy to spot.

The easiest way to get there is by S-Bahn or subway (U3/U6). Simply exit at Marienplatz station and enjoy a pleasant 10-minute walk.

Things to note

Dress warmly for the winter weather
Wear comfortable walking shoes
Bring a camera to capture the beautiful sights
Participation is at your own risk
