Timeline
17:26
Grab a coffee or a glass of wine at the palace grounds. The terrace offers a quiet prelude to the evening.
17:56
Walk southwest toward Aerodynamic Park. The 57-minute walk from the old town is long, but the industrial monuments provide a striking contrast to the historic center.
18:11
Stand among the technical monuments and watch the sun set toward the WSW. The open space of the park frames the light beautifully.
18:31
Return to the palace area for a digestif. The cafe stays open late in October, allowing you to linger as the light fades.
Local tip
The walk to Aerodynamic Park is substantial. Check the route carefully if you are not used to the distance. The cafe hours vary by season; in October, it is open until 19:00, so plan your return accordingly.
