Timeline

  1. 15:10

    Bonsai

    Grab a snack or light meal at Bonsai. This Asian restaurant is just a short walk from the viewing spot and is open late, making it a perfect pre-sunset stop to fuel up. The vegan options are a nice touch if you prefer lighter fare before the main event.

  2. 16:25

    Court Garden

    Walk to the Court Garden. Located directly north of the Ecological Botanical Gardens, this park offers a welcome bit of green in the city center. Find a spot on the grass or near the edges where the view opens up toward the west.

  3. 16:40

    Court Garden

    Watch the sunset. On this date, the sun sets at 16:40 toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 15:46, giving you ample time to settle in and enjoy the fading light over the park before the sky turns dark.

  4. 17:25

    Eule

    Head to Eule for dinner. This traditional Franconian restaurant is about an 11-minute walk from the Court Garden. It has a rich history as Richard Wagner's favourite pub, and the walls are covered in photos of the artists who followed his lead. The kitchen is open until 21:30, so you will have plenty of time to enjoy a hearty meal in a modernized Wirtshaus atmosphere.

  5. 18:40

    Rosa Rosa

    Finish the evening with a drink at Rosa Rosa. This cozy pub is about a 13-minute walk from Eule. It serves local brews and good food specials. Get there early as the seats normally fill up quickly, and enjoy the local atmosphere as you wrap up your evening.

Local tip

The Eule is a historic spot with photo-covered walls, so it can get busy. If you want a quieter dinner, Kraftraum is a well-established meat-free alternative nearby with a large menu and a great weekend brunch, though it is more of a daytime spot. For the evening, Rosa Rosa is the best bet for a lively but cozy end to the night.
