Timeline
16:08
Grab a pork knuckle to go from Schweine Janes Altstadt. It is a small, popular spot with freshly roasting meat. Since you are taking it away, you can enjoy it while walking.
16:28
Walk 12 minutes from the restaurant to the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus. Find the Central viewing spot (17 min walk from the theatre itself, but the theatre is your anchor). The sun sets toward the SW, offering a clear view of the golden light hitting the building's facade.
16:53
Watch the sunset at 16:53. The theatre stands in the light as the day ends.
17:23
End the evening with dinner at Yaki-The-Emon, a Japanese restaurant just 9 minutes from the theatre. It is open until 22:30 on weekdays and weekends, making it a perfect late stop after the sunset.
Local tip
The viewing spot is a 17-minute walk from the main theatre building. Allow time for this short walk to reach the best angle. Check opening hours for Schweine Janes Altstadt (11:30-23:00) and Yaki-The-Emon (17:00-22:30 or 12:00-22:30) to ensure they are open.
