Timeline
16:02
Buy a traditional Mozartkugel and an Einspänner at the oldest café in Salzburg. The shop is open until 19:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.
16:14
Walk northeast to the Schloss Mirabell gardens. It is a short stroll from the café. Find the famous "Garden of Dwarfs" statue group.
16:42
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The light will wash over the castle and the Salzach river as evening falls.

End the evening at Die Weisse, one of Salzburg's historic breweries. It is a popular local hangout where you can enjoy Bavarian treats and local beer. Make a reservation if you are visiting Wednesday through Saturday.
Local tip
The walk from the café to the gardens is easy, but the gardens are large. Head straight for the dwarf statues to catch the best view of the western sunset.
