Grab a drink and settle in at the Renaissance Restaurant. Its medieval-style setting fits the historic mood, and it opens at 12:00, giving you plenty of time to relax before the light changes. The sun sets at 17:56, so arriving an hour early ensures you have a seat without rushing.

Walk up to the Royal Palace. The ruins offer the perfect vantage point. You will be positioned to catch the final rays of golden light that begin at 17:13, watching them fade as the sun sets toward the WSW at 17:56. The palace grounds are open until 17:00 in October, so ensure you enter before the gates close.
18:26
End your evening with a glass of wine at Holló Cafe and Wine Bar. It is open until 22:00, allowing you to stay as long as you like after the sunset has passed. The short walk from the palace makes it an easy, quiet finish to the day.
Local tip
The palace closes at 17:00 in October. Plan to enter the grounds before then to secure your viewing spot for the 17:56 sunset. The golden light period starts at 17:13, so position yourself early.
