19:00
Arrive early and find a spot on the terrace. The building, built in 1874, offers plenty of space and a horse pool to watch while you wait. Enjoy a drink or a light snack at the on-site restaurant as the afternoon light begins to soften.
20:00
The sun sets toward the WSW. Watch the sky change color over the track and the surrounding park. The atmosphere is lively with the sounds of the races and the evening breeze.
20:30
Stay a while longer. The park and grounds remain accessible and safe for a short stroll as the light fades. It is a great place to spend the weekend afternoon, especially with children who have space to run around.
Local tip
The surrounding neighborhoods are not the safest, so it is best to arrive by car or taxi. Check the route if you are using public transport.
