Timeline
15:21
Pick up an ice cream from Toscanini's. The burnt caramel and salted saffron flavors are highly rated, and it is a quick stop before the walk.
15:51
Walk to the Charles River Esplanade. Arrive with time to spare so you can find a good spot on the south bank facing west as the light begins to fade.
16:36
Watch the sun set over the water. The sky turns bright just before the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow on the river.
17:06
End the evening with a drink at Piattini. The winery is open late, offering a relaxed place to unwind after the fresh air.
Local tip
The Esplanade is open from sunrise to sunset, so you can stay as long as you like after the sun goes down. Check the route if you need to get back to the shops.
