Timeline
21:44
Grab a small coffee at the outdoor terrace. The views over Töölönlahti bay are best before the crowds arrive, and you will be positioned perfectly for the sunset.
22:14
Walk up the hill to Linnanmäki. You do not need a pass to enter the park or walk the grounds. Find a spot on the slopes or near the wooden roller coaster structure to watch the sun dip toward the NW.
22:59
Head down to the indie bar for a post-sunset drink. The summer terrace is a great place to stay out a bit longer as the evening light fades.
Local tip
Linnanmäki is free to enter. The café serves coffee until 22:00, so arrive before the sunset moment to secure a seat.
