Timeline
18:04
Grab an early bite at Asia Garden. It is open until 23:59 so you have plenty of time to eat before the sunset. The kitchen serves quality Chinese dishes and is usually full of locals.
18:34
Walk to the Jet d'Eau. The fountain is visible from most of the Lac Léman waterfront. Find a spot on the southern bank where the water plume is backlit by the setting sun.
18:49
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 18:49. The fountain is beautifully lit at night, so the transition from daylight to evening is part of the spectacle.
19:34
Head to La Clémence for a drink. This cozy bar in the old town is open until 00:00. If it is warm weather, use the huge terrace; otherwise, enjoy the interior.
Local tip
