✅ Leaving early is easy at any point.
✅ There is a quieter spot to take a break.

What to expect: Live music in a maze of narrow, historic lanes creates pockets of louder sound near stages but many quieter side alleys; strong food smells, close but not extreme crowding.

Exit options: The Bohnenviertel is a grid of small streets close to Charlottenplatz/Rathaus/Olgaeck tram stops — you're never more than a couple of minutes from a quiet side street or a tram home.
