  1. 18:29

    Cafe der Provinz

    Start with a coffee and a crêpe at this cute, organic-focused spot just five minutes from the anchor. It is quiet enough to settle in and watch the afternoon light change.

  2. 19:14

    Leopold Museum

    Walk the 22 minutes SSE to the Leopold Museum. Arrive with plenty of time to deposit any large bags or cameras, as the museum has a strict policy against them inside. Stroll through the galleries as the golden hour begins.

  3. 19:44

    Leopold Museum

    Head to the viewing area for sunset. The sun sets toward the WNW, offering a clear view as the light fades over the city.

Local tip

The Leopold Museum requires you to check bags before entering. Plan your snack before you arrive so you are not carrying heavy items during the walk. Café der Provinz is open until 23:00, so it is easy to find before your visit.
