Walk through the Volksgarten. The park is large, so take your time finding a quiet bench or open space that faces southwest. The late afternoon sun will start to warm the scene.

Head to the terrace at Hotel am Volksgarten. This is your prime viewing spot. Sit down and watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the southwest. The hotel is a ten-minute walk from the park center, located to the north-northeast.

End the evening with dinner at dreiRaum. It is an eight-minute walk from the park and offers a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is open until midnight, giving you time to digest the view and enjoy the meal.
