Grab a bite of local cuisine. Fleetschlösschen serves fish dishes, frikadellen, and labskaus. It is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time before sunset.

Walk to the Rathausmarkt square in front of the Rathaus. The neo-Renaissance building is impressive, especially as the light begins to soften. If you want to go inside, check the guided tour times, but the square offers the best vantage point for the sky.
16:30
Head to Hauptkirche St. Petri. This viewpoint is just a short walk from the town hall. It offers a classic perspective of the city skyline as the sun dips below the horizon.
