Timeline
16:09
Start at Treehouse Bar & Grill. It is an affordable spot for drinks and comfort food that has been around since 2000. It is a short walk from the anchor, making it easy to grab a drink before heading to the viewing spot.
16:39
Walk 3 minutes southwest to Spago Caesars Windsor. This Italian restaurant overlooks the Detroit River and the skyline. Find a table or a spot near the window to watch the light change as the sun begins its descent toward the WSW.
17:24
Stay at Spago Caesars Windsor for the sunset. The sun sets at 17:24, casting a golden glow over the river and the American skyline on the opposite bank. This is the peak moment for the view.
17:54
After the sun goes down, walk 10 minutes to the Windsor Tunnel Duty Free Shop. It is open 24 hours, so you can browse or pick up a souvenir regardless of the late hour. It is located next to the tunnel entrance, close to the anchor.
