Timeline
14:27
Grab a late lunch at Restaurant Böhmerwald. It is a regional spot just five minutes from the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum, perfect for settling in before the afternoon rush.
15:27
Walk to the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum. Spend the hour exploring the weapons and the room where Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s blood-stained jacket is displayed. The museum closes at 17:00, so you have plenty of time to finish your visit before the sun dips.
16:27
Head to the Leopold Museum. It is a forty-nine minute walk northwest from the anchor, so you will need to check the route. This is your viewing spot. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a clear view of the golden light fading over the city.
16:57
End the evening at Aurora Rooftop Bar. It is a seven-minute walk from the anchor area. The bar opens at 17:00 on weekdays and 16:00 on weekends, so it will be open and ready for you to toast the sunset.
Local tip
The walk to the Leopold Museum is long. Check the route in advance and wear comfortable shoes. The museum near the Südbahnhof closes at 17:00, so do not linger past that time if you want to catch the sunset view.
