    Govindas

    Grab a vegetarian lunch at Govindas. It is an unusual and often tasty Hare Krishna spot that closes at 15:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.

    Skissernas Museum – Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art

    Walk to Skissernas Museum to see the sketches for public art by 20th-century Swedish artists. The museum is open until 17:00 on weekdays, giving you an hour to explore before the light changes.

    Lundagård

    Head to Lundagård for the sunset. This park is just a short walk from the museum and sits between the university and the cathedral. At 16:06 the sun sets toward the WNW, casting long shadows across the grass.

    Ved

    End the evening with dinner at Ved. This trendy restaurant is open from 17:00 on weekdays, offering small dishes or pizza as you digest the view.
