    Leave the park. Check the route back to the city center for dinner.

Local tip

The park closes at 14:00 on Saturdays and 15:30 on weekdays. Arriving an hour before sunset on a summer evening means you will need to have visited during the day or check if evening access is permitted for the sunset viewing.

Check before you go

  • Ulpiana is open Mo-Fr 09:30-15:30 and Sa 10:00-14:00. Verify if the site allows entry for sunset viewing after closing hours.
