Start at Café Husaren for a giant kanelbulle. These buns are so large you can easily share one. It is the perfect fuel before the climb.
15:14
Walk up to Skansen Kronan. This hilltop fortification offers panoramic views. Arrive early to find a good vantage point facing southwest.
15:59
Watch the sunset. On 15 January the sun sets at 15:59 toward the southwest, casting a final golden glow over the city and the industrial area where its twin, Skansen Lejonet, stands.
16:19
Head down to Gyllene Prag for dinner. This Czech restaurant serves generous helpings of breaded cheese and beer. It is open until late on weekdays.
Local tip
Skansen Kronan is open Wednesday to Friday from 10:00 to 14:00. If you are visiting outside these hours, you can still walk up the hill for the view, but the museum interior will be closed.
