Grab a coffee and a pastry at the Druid Hill Farmers Market. The market closes at 19:30, so this late afternoon slot works perfectly for a quick bite before the sun dips.
20:12
Walk down to the Gwynns Falls Trail. This is the prime viewing spot for the sunset. The trail runs through Gwynns Falls Park, offering a green corridor view of the sky as the sun sets toward the WNW.
20:32
Watch the sun sink below the horizon. The golden light that started around 19:53 will fade into the sunset at 20:32, casting long shadows through the trees along the creek.

Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens of Baltimore
End the evening with a quiet stroll through the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens. It is a short walk from the trail and offers a calm, enclosed space to decompress after the outdoor light show.
Local tip
The farmers market is only open Wednesdays from 15:30 to 19:30 in summer, so check the schedule if you are visiting on a different day. The conservatory is a great indoor alternative if the weather turns.
