Grab a warm butter cake and a coffee. The bakery is open from 07:00 to 19:00, so it is ready when you arrive an hour before sunset.

Walk 15 minutes southeast to the Macau Tower. This is the viewing spot. The tower stands 338 meters high and offers a clear view of the sun dipping toward the WSW.

Watch the sunset. At 18:02 the sun disappears below the horizon. Stay for the golden light that fades into twilight.

Walk 2 minutes back toward the anchor area to A Lorcha. This Portuguese restaurant is open from 18:30 to 23:00 on weekdays and until 23:00 on Mondays. It is a solid choice for dinner as the city lights come on.
19:32
End the night at Restaurante Litoral. It is a local restaurant just 4 minutes from the anchor, open until 22:30. It is a calm place to finish the evening.
Local tip
The walk from the tower back to the old streets is short but goes downhill. Keep your pace steady. The bakery closes at 19:00, so do not linger too long there if you want the cake fresh.
