Local tip

City Park is large. Use the paths near the western edge for the best sunset views. Ralph's is a renovated 1860s tavern, so expect a historic atmosphere.

Check before you go

  • Deutsches Haus is open until 23:00 on weekdays and 11:59 on Friday/Saturday, so it is a reliable spot for a drink before the walk.
  • Ralph's On The Park does not list specific opening hours in the context, so check if it is open for dinner service on your day.
