Grab a sweet treat or browse amber at this 17th-century shop on the way to the park. The shop is open until 20:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun sets.

Walk 12 minutes northwest to Kongens Have. This is the most frequented park in the city, perfect for a stroll or finding a quiet bench. Arrive with an hour to spare to settle in and watch the light change.

Watch the sunset. At 16:09, the sun sets toward the SW, casting a warm glow over the park and the nearby Royal Theatre. The golden light begins around 14:59, giving you ample time to enjoy the atmosphere.

End your evening with a drink at Funch's Vinstue, an old-fashioned wine bar near the park. It is a favorite for students and locals, offering some of the cheapest prices in downtown Copenhagen. Open until 02:00 on weekdays.
Local tip
Kongens Have is very popular, so if you want a quiet spot for the sunset, arrive early to secure a bench away from the main paths.
