Start at Onyx Lounge, a bar just two minutes walk from the Azania Front Lutheran Church. Order a drink and settle in as the afternoon heat begins to fade.
18:26
Walk seven minutes WSW to Light Corner. This is your viewing spot. Arrive with ten minutes to spare to find a good angle facing WSW.
18:46
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starting at 18:16 will wash over the scene, offering the best photographic conditions.
19:16
Walk back toward the center and stop at Mama Mia - Gelato Italiano for a sweet finish. It is open until 23:00, so you have plenty of time to enjoy the gelato after dark.
