Timeline
17:08
Arrive at Finlay Park early. This 14-acre urban park is the city's most visited green space. Wander the paths and find a quiet bench or open grassy area facing west. The park is large enough that you can avoid crowds and still catch the golden light hitting the trees and skyline.
17:38
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts around 17:00 and the sun dips below the horizon at 17:38. This is your moment to pause, take in the view, and let the day wind down.
18:08
Walk 7 minutes to Bierkeller Brewing Company. It is the closest spot to the park for a post-sunset drink. The brewery is open until 20:00 on weekdays and 20:00 on Saturdays. Order a local brew and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere as the evening settles in.

Walk 13 minutes to Di Vino Rosso for dinner. This Italian restaurant is known for its fabulous Northern Italian cuisine and wine cellar. Jackets are recommended and reservations are suggested, so check ahead. The dining room provides a warm, intimate end to your evening.
