    Wolff & Beer

    Grab a drink at Wolff & Beer. It is just a short walk from the park entrance and stays open late, so you can settle in before the light changes.

  2. 16:41

    Rembrandtpark

    Walk through Rembrandtpark to find a quiet spot. The park is larger and quieter than its famous neighbor, Vondelpark, making it ideal for watching the sky.

  3. 16:56

    Bolenius Rembrandtpark

    Head to Bolenius Rembrandtpark. Sit on the terrace as the sun sets toward the SW. The building frames the view perfectly as the golden light fades.

  4. 17:26

    Figurantenbar

    End the evening at Figurantenbar. It is a short walk away and opens at 16:00, so it will be ready for you to continue the night with a drink.

Local tip

The park is much quieter than Vondelpark. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the grass or near the water before the sunset crowd arrives.
