Tabak has admitted manslaughter but denies murder The jury in the trial of Vincent Tabak is expected to visit the flat where Jo Yeates lived and was killed later.
Tabak, a 33-year-old Dutch engineer, admits Miss Yeates's manslaughter, but denies her murder.
The jury is also expected to visit Longwood Lane in Failand, the spot where Miss Yeates's body was found.
Miss Yeates, from Ampfield, Hampshire, disappeared on 17 December 2010 after going for drinks with colleagues in Bristol city centre.
Her snow-covered body was found by dog walkers in Longwood Lane on Christmas Day.
On Tuesday, the court heard how Tabak was said to have used his height and build to overpower the 25-year-old victim's 5ft 4in frame.
Prosecutor Nigel Lickley QC said: "She was alive when it happened. Death was not instantaneous.
"He might have let go but he did not. He knew that Miss Yeates was in pain but struggling to breathe."
He added Miss Yeates's death would have been "uncomfortable and painful".
The trial is expected to last four weeks.
