    Miit Coffee

    Grab a coffee and a pancake at Miit Coffee. It is open late on Thursdays, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the light changes. The vegetarian options and gluten-free pancakes are a nice way to start the evening.

  2. 20:02

    Maxim Boxer Gallery

    Walk to Maxim Boxer Gallery. The gallery is open until 22:00, so you can explore the contemporary art exhibits while the afternoon light is still lingering. It is a quiet space to appreciate the local art scene before heading out.

  3. 20:32

    Skyline Bar

    Head to Skyline Bar for the sunset. The description notes it offers a perfect view at sunset. Try to find a table next to the windows early, as it gets difficult to do so after 23:00. The sun sets toward the WNW, aligning with the view from this spot.

  4. 21:17

    Café Osiris

    End the night at Café Osiris. It is open until 23:00 on weekdays, allowing you to stay for a final drink or dessert. The artsy interior and fireplace provide a cozy atmosphere to wind down after the evening's activities.

Local tip

Skyline Bar has a cover charge at popular times and finding a window seat can be tricky. Arrive before the sunset moment to secure the best view. Miit Coffee is open until 24:00 on Thursdays, so timing your coffee stop early ensures you are not rushed.
