Timeline
16:49
Grab a bite at Espace 177. This African restaurant is open from 11:00 to 23:00, making it a reliable spot for an early dinner before the evening rush. It is a short 7-minute walk from the museum area.
17:39
Stroll to the Musée National du Costume. Spend some time exploring the collections in the former governor's palace. The museum is open until 17:00, so you will have plenty of time to wander the grounds and catch the last light on the architecture before heading out.
18:19
Walk 28 minutes east-southeast to the Embouchure du fleuve Comoë. This viewpoint offers a clear line to the west-southwest, where the sun dips below the horizon. Arrive just before 18:19 to secure a good spot and watch the sky change color over the water.
18:49
End the night at Ramses Bar-Maquis. Open 24 hours, this is a low-pressure place to sit back, have a drink, and let the evening settle in after the sunset walk.
Local tip
The walk to the river mouth is 28 minutes. Start your museum visit early enough to leave with at least 40 minutes to spare. Ramses Bar is open all night if you want to extend the evening.
