Timeline
16:20
Grab a sweet treat. Adolfo Stefanelli is a patisserie just five minutes walk from the church. It is open until 20:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.
16:50
Walk to Santa Maria presso San Celso. This late 15th-century sanctuary is a quiet spot away from the main tourist crowds. Arrive early enough to find a good angle inside or outside to watch the exterior.
17:05
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 17:05. The fading golden light will highlight the Baroque and Renaissance details of the church facade and interior.
17:35
End the evening with a cocktail. Ginger Cocktail Lab is a bar sixteen minutes walk from the church. It opens at 17:30, so it is ready for you after the sunset has passed.
Local tip
The church is a sanctuary, so keep voices low inside. Adolfo Stefanelli closes at 20:00 on weekdays, so do not linger too long with your pastry if you want to catch the last light at the church.
