Walk to the Rheinturm. The 25-minute walk from the K20 anchor is the only option listed, so check the route carefully. Arrive just before the golden light begins to secure a spot at the restaurant or observation deck for the 360-degree view.

Watch the golden light wash over the Rhine and the city. The sun sets toward the SW, offering a clear view of the horizon from the 172m height.

Dinner in the Media Harbor. The Pizzeria Am Medienhafen is a short walk from the tower. The modern ambience and good pizza provide a relaxed end to the evening.
