    Museum of the Centre of Europe

    Arrive at the Museum of the Centre of Europe. Walk through Europas Park and find a quiet spot on the grass or a bench within the sculpture park. The park itself is free and open to dusk, so you can settle in early. Check the opening hours if you plan to enter the main building, but for the sculpture park, you are good to go.

    Stay put and watch the light change. As the sun dips toward the SW, the golden hour hits the sculptures. This is the key moment. If you need a snack or drink, you must have bought it before arriving, as there are no food or drink shops listed in the immediate context to purchase items on the way.
