Grab an ice cream from N'Eis - Das Neustadteis. It is very popular, so expect a line, but the novel flavours are worth the wait. The shop is open until 18:00, giving you plenty of time before the sun goes down.

Säulenreste der alten Hauptsynagoge
Walk to the Säulenreste der alten Hauptsynagoge. The stones stand as a quiet memorial to the former main synagogue destroyed in 1938. Position yourself to face west as the light begins to fade.

Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a final glow on the ancient columns before the evening sets in.
17:38
Head to Patagonia for dinner. This steak house serves excellent Chilean dishes with good service. It is open from 17:30, so it is ready for your post-sunset meal.
Local tip
Check the route to Patagonia after sunset as it gets dark quickly in winter.
