Timeline
20:05
Grab a bite at Hunsvotti. It is a gastropub and sports bar near the river. Order something hearty to keep you going as the light fades.
20:30
Walk to the Harmony fountain sculpture. It sits in the Aura River. Arrive early enough to find a good spot along the bank or on the nearby bridges. The water and the sculpture will catch the final glow of the sun as it dips below the horizon to the WNW.
21:20
End the evening at Rantakerttu. It is a gastropub located right by the viewing area. The kitchen closes at 22:00, so you have time for a drink or a late bite after the sun has set.
Local tip
Check the route from Hunsvotti to Harmony. The walk is short but the riverbank can be busy. Rantakerttu is open until 23:00 on Saturday, so it is a safe bet for a late finish if you want to stay longer.
