Longest and shortest day in Munich
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 16h 4m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 20m.
Between them the day length swings by 7h 43m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:19 on 11 December; the latest is 21:17 on 26 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:13 on 16 June to 08:04 on 1 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 14m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Munich different
At 48.1°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 33 minutes to arrive: 9 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Photographers get 62 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.5× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 7h 43m here — among the narrowest of the 101 cities tracked in Germany.
Between solstices the sunset walks 73° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 53 minutes earlier, averaging about 106 seconds a day.
On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 17:06 instead of 18:08. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Elevation matters at 524 m. The visible horizon drops 0.79°, pushing sunset 5 minutes later and sunrise the same amount earlier than a sea-level observer would see.
Planning a sunset photo in Munich
Arrive by 19:12. Golden hour opens at 19:27 and the sun is down by 20:09, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 287° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 20:29 and runs to 20:42, the end of civil twilight and 32m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
