Timeline
17:37
Grab a snack or drink at Mango Peak Relaxation. It is just a short walk from the museum and open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time to eat before heading up.
18:12
Walk back to the Sierra Leone Peace Museum to settle in. The museum is the anchor for the evening and offers a chance to reflect on the city's history before the light changes.
18:32
Head to 75A Leicester Road. This viewpoint is positioned to catch the sun as it sets toward the WSW. Arrive with time to spare so you can find a good spot for the golden light that begins around 18:23.
19:17
End the evening at the Hill Station Club. It is a historic colonial-era spot where the bar still serves beer. It is close enough to walk from the museum area, making it a convenient finish after the view.
Local tip
The walk from the museum to the viewpoint is about 27 minutes. Plan your pace so you are not rushing up the hill as the light fades.
