Timeline
20:10
Grab a slice of pizza and a drink at A Time. It is a reliable spot for a quick, casual bite before heading to the park.
20:35
Walk 14 minutes from A Time to Parque Quinta Normal. Enter the park and find a clear view toward the west. The large open spaces here offer an unobstructed sightline to the horizon.
20:55
Watch the sun dip below the horizon. The golden light from 20:19 will bathe the park’s trees and the facades of the surrounding museums in a warm glow before the sky turns blue.
21:15
Head back to A Time for a digestif or to enjoy the evening atmosphere as the park lights begin to come on.
Local tip
The park closes at 20:00, so you must be inside to stay for the sunset moment. A Time is open until 01:00 on weekdays and 03:00 on weekends, making it a safe place to end the night.
