Start with spiced tea and yogurt dips at the Persian cafe near the memorial. The breakfast menu is traditional German, but the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed early evening start.

Walk up to the Synagogue Memorial. Read the names of Göttingen's Jewish residents listed below the Star of David abstraction while the sun is still up and the stone is warm.

Watch the sunset toward the WSW. The light fades quickly, marking the transition from day to evening.

Head to Tante Giulia for dinner. It is open late and serves Italian food, making it a reliable choice after the memorial visit.

End the night in the atmospheric student pub, Trou. It is located in a cavern that was once a student jail, offering a distinctively German drinking experience after dark.
