Grab a sweet treat at Aida. This popular café serves ice cream and pastries, a perfect low-energy start before the walk. It closes at 19:00, so you have plenty of time.
15:21
Walk from Aida to the Sándor Márai Memorial. The statue sits facing west, perfectly positioned for the sunset. Arrive early to find a quiet spot on the bench or nearby pavement and let the quiet atmosphere settle in.
16:06
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a final glow on the memorial’s empty chair. This is the moment to pause and reflect on the writer’s legacy and the stillness of the city.
16:51
End the evening with a drink at Pub u kohuta. Located just a short walk away, this restaurant has a lovely terrace in the summer and serves Slovak cuisine. It is open until 22:00 on weekdays and 24:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, making it a comfortable place to stay and unwind after the sunset.
Local tip
The memorial is best experienced in silence. If you want to join the locals for a drink afterward, Pub u kohuta offers a nice terrace, but check if it is open on your specific day of the week.
