    Buga Sotu

    Grab dinner at Buga Sotu, a local spot for chicken, dumplings, and kibinai just a short walk from the tower. It is open late, so you can eat before heading to the park.

  2. 19:53

    Vingis Park

    Walk into Vingis Park to find a good spot. The park is large and wooded, so allow time to locate a clear view of the tower to the west. The sun will set directly behind it around 20:08.

  3. 20:38

    Buga Sotu

    Head back to Buga Sotu for a post-sunset drink or dessert. The live music on Friday and Saturday nights adds a nice atmosphere if your visit aligns with those days.

Local tip

The park is large and wooded, so you could easily lose your way. Stay on the paths near the river loop for the best views. Buga Sotu is open until 23:00 on weekdays and later on weekends.
