Local tip

The Botanic Garden closes at 21:00 in October, but you only need to pass through or start near it. The key is timing the walk to the Mound to arrive just before sunset.

Check before you go

  • Check the sunset time for your specific date, as it shifts daily.
  • Zielonym do góry is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time for dinner after the sunset.
