Stop at Amir der Kaffemann for a expertly roasted coffee or a smoothie. It is one of the best places in town for a quality cup, and the quiet atmosphere is perfect for settling in before the walk.
16:03
Walk four minutes north to the Botanical Garden. The description notes it is a nice place for a walk, especially in cooler weather. Visit the greenhouses and take a moment to appreciate the artificial stalactite cave, the Neischl-Grotte, if it is open.
16:43
Stay in the garden for the sunset. On 15 January the sun sets at 16:43 toward the WSW. The garden’s layout offers a peaceful vantage point to watch the light fade over the greenery and structures.
17:13
Head to Sax, just three minutes away. It is a flexible spot that serves as a café by day and a bar by night, making it an ideal place to stay for the evening transition with a beer or small dish.
