Timeline
14:14
Pick up a hot pizza slice from Änggården Kolgrill & Pizzeria to eat while walking. It is open from 11:00 to 22:00, so it is ready for you before the sun goes down.
14:59
Walk through the Botanical Gardens. The 175-hectare space offers plenty of room to wander and find your spot. The rock garden and greenhouses are open, and the air is crisp in January.
15:59
Watch the sun set toward the SW. The golden light starts at 14:41, giving you a warm glow before the final descent at 15:59.
16:44
End your evening with a warm drink at Botaniska Paviljongen. It is open from 10:00 to 16:00 in January, so you have time to sit and recover from the cold.
Local tip
The sun sets in the SW direction in January. Find a clear view toward that side of the gardens for the best shot.
