    Ragnarok

    Stop at Ragnarok for a mead. The Viking-themed bar is open from 12:00 to 24:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the light shifts.

    Overground trip

    Walk to the Overground trip anchor. Board the metro between Félix U Gómez and Hospital Metropolitano. The new section is rarely crowded, giving you a seat and an unobstructed view of the city as the golden hour begins.

    Overground trip

    Ride the train as the sun sets toward the WSW. The low angle of the light bathes the urban landscape in warm tones, visible from your window seat.

  4. 18:08

    Centro de Las Artes

    End your evening at Centro de Las Artes. It is a 24-minute walk from the anchor in an ESE direction. Visit the gallery to see contemporary photographic works and paintings, a calm contrast to the moving city below.

Local tip

The metro trip costs M$4.50. Check the route for any service changes.
