    Merleyn

    Grab a drink at Merleyn. It is a short walk from the viewing area and stays open late, so you can enjoy a beverage while the sky changes color.

    D-Toren

    Walk to D-Toren. From here, look toward the WNW to see the 'Shall we Dance?' sculpture silhouetted against the evening light. The electric mast and human figure stand out clearly as the sun dips low.

    Café Kafe

    End the evening at Café Kafe. This pub is nearby and offers a warm place to stay if the night cools down after the sunset view.

Local tip

The sunset occurs in the southwest, but the sculpture is best viewed from the D-Toren side looking WNW. Check the route if you need specific directions between these spots.
