Timeline
14:45
Start with a slow coffee at Stiller's Coffee. This backyard oasis is perfect for settling in before the rush. Note that it closes at 17:00 on weekdays, so you have just enough time to enjoy your cup before heading out.
15:45
Walk to the Steno Museum garden. The 14-minute stroll from the coffee shop takes you through the university campus. Arrive early to find a quiet spot in the medicinal herb garden or near the Foucault's pendulum as the light begins to soften.
16:15
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the SW at 16:15, casting a warm glow over the historic artifacts and the garden. This is the moment the day turns from grey to gold.
17:15
End your evening with a walk through Aarhus University Park. It is a soothing spot of greenery just north of the museum, open year-round. The rolling hills provide a peaceful way to decompress after the sunset viewing.
