Timeline

    Pastelaria Baía

    Grab a regional sweet and a coffee at Pastelaria Baía. The 'King of Cavacas' is a must-try. Sit outside on the plaza by the thermal hospital to watch the city wake up for the evening.

  2. 17:02

    SILOS Contentor Criativo

    Walk to the disused grain silos that now house the SILOS Contentor Criativo. Wander through the galleries and ateliers to see the artists' creations before the light fades. The space is open until 20:00, so you have plenty of time.

  3. 17:37

    Museu José Malhoa

    Head to the Museu José Malhoa in Parque Dom Carlos I. Position yourself in the park to catch the sun setting toward the WSW. The museum grounds offer a quiet, shaded spot to witness the golden light turning the sky.

  4. 18:07

    Daiquiri Bar

    End the night with a drink at Daiquiri Bar. It is a popular nightlife joint on Praça 5 de Outubro with an outdoor esplanade where you can relax after the sunset.

Local tip

Pastelaria Baía is open until 20:00, so you can grab your snack early and still make it to the silos in time. Daiquiri Bar is closed on Mondays and Sundays, so check the opening hours if you are visiting on those days.
