Timeline
17:46
Pick up a coffee at Mads. It is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time to grab a drink before the sun dips.
18:16
Walk to Museum Het Schip. The building is the best example of the Amsterdam School style, and the entrance alone is worth the visit. Check the route, as there are no specific directions listed.
18:46
Stand at the entrance as the sun sets toward the WSW. The golden light starting at 17:58 and sunset at 18:46 will wash over the architectural details.
19:31
End the evening at Café Nassau for a meal. It is open until 23:00 on weekdays or weekends, making it a perfect spot to unwind after the walk.
