Timeline
15:09
Browse the amber collection in the 17th-century House of Amber. It is open until 20:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.
15:54
Walk through Rosenborg Castle Gardens to the castle grounds. Arrive just before sunset to see the Renaissance architecture bathed in golden light. The castle closes at 16:00, so this is a view from the outside and the gardens.
16:09
Stand by the Statue of Hans Christian Andersen. The statue faces east, away from the setting sun in the southwest, but the garden provides a quiet moment to watch the light fade over the moat.
16:54
Head to Riz Raz for a Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian buffet. It is open until midnight, offering a relaxed and affordable dinner after the evening chill sets in.
17:54
End the night at Funch's Vinstue. This old-fashioned wine bar is open until 02:00 on weekdays, perfect for winding down with a glass of wine in a historic setting.
Local tip
Rosenborg Castle itself closes at 16:00, so you cannot go inside after sunset. The magic is in the gardens and the exterior light. Check the route from Riz Raz to Funch's Vinstue as they are not directly adjacent.
