Timeline
15:50
Grab a coffee at Sutter Begg. It is open until 18:30 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.
16:42
Walk to the Kunsthaus Baselland viewing spot. The museum grounds offer a clear view toward the WSW where the sun is setting.
17:05
Watch the sunset. The light fades quickly in January, so find a good angle near the building before the sky turns dark.
17:50
End the evening with a glass of wine at Delinat. The shop is open until 18:30 on weekdays, allowing you to pop in for a quick tasting or bottle to take away as the night settles.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW on this date. Position yourself near the Kunsthaus Baselland viewing area for the best sightline. Check the route if you need to get there from the tram stop.
