    Grab a drink at Artistai. The large courtyard is a great place to relax and watch the sky change color before the main event. Friendly service and often live music.

    Gate of Dawn

    Walk the short distance to the Gate of Dawn. This is the last survivor of the walled city's nine gates. Find a spot near the chapel to face the southwest as the light fades.

    End the evening at Cozy. It is a well-named place with a laid-back restaurant upstairs and a DJ-bar downstairs, serving hearty modern food.

Local tip

Artistai's courtyard is perfect for pre-sunset relaxation. Cozy is open late if you want to stay and eat after the lights come on.
