Grab a glass of wine at Crú Wine Bar. It is a nine-minute walk from The Dancers and opens at 15:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the rush.

Walk to The Dancers. The two 60-foot figures stand near the Performing Arts Complex. Arrive 45 minutes before sunset to find a good angle for the golden light that begins at 16:18.

Head to Osteria Marco for dinner. This Italian spot is nine minutes away and serves food until 22:00 on weekdays, giving you time to enjoy the evening after dark.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW in January. Position yourself to the east of the sculpture to get the best backlighting during golden hour.
