Timeline
19:45
Start with a classic Milanese dinner at Savini, an elegant restaurant inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Order the risotto or tagliatelle while you wait for the light to change. The historic setting provides a perfect prelude to the evening.
20:20
Walk to Sempione Park. This large green space offers a clear view of the Allianz Tower to the west. Find a spot on the grass or near the features to relax as the sky begins to turn. The park is one of the most popular spots in the city, so it will be lively.
20:45
Watch the sunset. On this date, the sun sets directly behind the Allianz Tower from this vantage point. The alignment happens around 20:45 local time. Stand back slightly to frame the tower against the fading light.
21:15
End the evening with a cocktail at Roialto. This popular spot is ideal for after-work drinks or pre-club refreshments. The bland façade conceals a great interior, making it a solid place to unwind after the walk.
