Timeline
18:04
Grab a bite at this Indian restaurant. It is close enough to walk quickly and open during the early evening.
18:49
Walk to this small park in central Umeå. The art installations here are best viewed in the fading light. It is a short walk from the restaurant.
19:04
Stay in the park and watch the golden light hit the sculptures. The sun sets toward the WNW, casting long shadows across the park.
19:49
End the evening with a drink at this laid-back Scottish-style pub. It is a very short walk from the park and perfect for unwinding after the light show.
Local tip
The golden light starts at 19:04. If you arrive earlier, you can browse the shop 'Burmans Musik' which is open until 18:00 on weekdays, but ensure you leave enough time to reach the park before the light peaks.
