Timeline
18:17
Grab a bite at Suehiro. The teppanyaki and sushi are excellent, and the laid-back atmosphere is perfect for settling in before the walk. It opens at 13:30, so you have plenty of time before sunset.
18:32
Walk 53 minutes from the landmark area to Parque de la Revolución. This is the only viewing spot in the context that aligns with the sunset behind Minerva Roundabout. Find a quiet spot in the park and look west. The sun will set directly behind the Minerva statue around 19:02.
19:32
Head to El Primer Piso, just a 5-minute walk from the park. This lively jazz bar features a distinctive red upholstered ceiling and good food. It is open until 01:00, making it a perfect place to unwind after the sunset.
