    Steinbock

    Walk 12 minutes from Restaurant Hiller to Steinbock. This is Ernst Gorsemann’s 1929 bronze goat, a gift from the Fritz-Behrens-Stiftung. Arrive early to find a spot in the park where you can see the sculpture clearly. The golden light around 19:32 will warm the bronze and the surrounding greenery.

    Restaurant Vienna

    End the evening at Restaurant Vienna. It is a 13-minute walk from Steinbock. Open from 17:00, it is a quiet Austrian spot perfect for digesting your earlier meal and the walk. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the service is attentive. It is a good place to stay as the city lights come on.
