Timeline
19:49
Walk to Urheilupuisto Sports Park. The park is a short walk from the museum and offers a quiet, open space to stretch your legs and clear your head before the main event. It is a good place to pass the time and enjoy the early evening air.
20:34
Return to the Turku Art Museum. Position yourself near the Art Nouveau granite façade or the windows facing southwest. You are here to catch the sunset at 20:49. The sun sets toward the WNW, so the light will strike the building and the surrounding area in a warm, golden glow just before it dips below the horizon.
21:19
Head to Tintå for dinner. This wine restaurant sits by the river and serves gourmet pizzas and a good selection of wines. It is a relaxed spot to enjoy your meal as the city lights begin to turn on. The terrace offers a lovely view of the water.
22:19
Seurusteluravintola Uusi apteekki
Finish the evening at Seurusteluravintola Uusi apteekki. This former pharmacy from 1907 is now a pub with a great selection of beer and spirits. The decorations are unique and worth seeing. Note that it gets crowded on weekends, so if you prefer a quieter drink, go early or be prepared for a lively atmosphere.
