Timeline
16:05
Grab a coffee and a pastry at VegAmore. It is an Italian restaurant near the Fondazione that opens early enough for a pre-sunset snack. Check the hours to confirm it is open on your day of visit.
16:20
Head inside the Fondazione Prada. Buy your ticket and take the lift to the Osservatorio. The walk from the entrance to the viewing platform is short, but allow time to clear security and find the railing.
17:05
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The view from the Osservatorio offers a clear line of sight to the horizon, away from the city center's tall buildings. This is the key moment of the evening.
17:35
End the night with a drink at The White Flag. This pub is just an 8-minute walk from the Fondazione and stays open late, perfect for winding down after the sunset.
