    El Copitas

    Start at El Copitas. This popular Mexican bar in a basement is a great way to begin the evening. Order a tequila or mezcal and enjoy the atmosphere before heading out.

    Summer Garden

    Walk to the Summer Garden. The 44-minute walk from the anchor is long, so start early. Arrive in time to wander the historic public garden as the golden light begins at 20:52. The sun sets toward the NW, casting a warm glow over the island between the Neva, Fontanka, Moika, and the Swan Canal.

    Daiquiri Bar

    End the night at Daiquiri Bar. Located just a short walk from the Summer Garden, this upscale cocktail bar is perfect for winding down. Enjoy unique drinks until 04:00.
