Grab a glass of local dry red wine at Poncichter Cellar. The staff source directly from Balaton Uplands vineyards, so the flavor is distinctively regional. It is a cozy spot to settle in before the evening rush.

Golden Unicorn Pharmacy Museum
Walk to the Golden Unicorn Pharmacy Museum. Even if you do not enter the exhibits, the building itself is a piece of history, having served as an inn and later a Jesuit pharmacy. The exterior sets the scene for the view.
16:29
Step out to the Black Saracen Pharmacy Museum area. This spot shares the building complex but offers the best vantage point for the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the historic architecture. The Black Saracen Pharmacy has stood here since 1665, witnessing many such evenings.
16:49
Stroll over to Városkapu Souvenir to browse the 23-carat 'gold' images and local crystal. It is a short walk from the viewing area, and the shop provides a calm, indoor space to decompress after the outdoor view.
