Timeline
19:29
Grab a souvlaki from Hella Good. It is open until midnight, so you can pick up dinner early and avoid the rush.
19:44
Walk across the river to the Crown Entertainment Complex. The casino and its surrounding plazas are open 24 hours, giving you plenty of space to wander before the main event.
20:44
Find a spot on the plaza or terrace facing west. The sun sets toward the WSW at 20:44, casting a final glow over the Yarra River and the city skyline.
21:29
Head back to Hella Good for a proper sit-down meal. The classic souvlaki is a reliable late-night feast option that stays open while the rest of the city winds down.
Local tip
The walk across the river is short and well-lit. Hella Good has two locations; ensure you go to the one listed near the landmark, not the Emporium one, to keep the walk minimal.
