If you arrive early, you can grab something small before the tour. A Bachmann bakery is located right next to the Luzernerhof bus stop and is a good place to pick up a takeaway coffee, croissant, or chocolate bread to get ready. There’s also a public toilet just behind the bakery.
Please arrive a few minutes before the tour starts so we can begin on time and you can already take some pictures as it’s a fantastic photo spot.
