Timeline
15:16
Grab a beer and settle in for the evening. Bistro Záhrada is a popular Slovak-style Biergarten. On warm evenings you can sit outside, while in winter it transforms into a cozy basement bar with boardgames. It is open from 14:00 on Mondays and earlier on other days, so it is ready for you.
15:46
Walk six minutes west to Kasárne Kulturpark. This cultural center in old barracks was completely renovated in 2013. Find a spot in the park surrounding it. The sun is setting toward the WSW, aligning perfectly with the open space of the park for a clear view.
16:06
Watch the sunset. At 16:06 the sun dips below the horizon. The golden light that started at 15:14 will have bathed the renovated barracks and the park in a warm glow. This is the peak moment of the experience.
16:36
Head back to Bistro Záhrada for a post-sunset drink. The light is fading, so it is the perfect time to enjoy the atmosphere inside or on the terrace as the evening settles in.
