    Lindenhof

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW at 17:01. The golden light starting at 16:12 will have already washed over the city, but the sunset itself is the key moment.

  4. 17:46

    Kronenhalle

    End the evening at Kronenhalle. This is the city's most famous restaurant where the glitterati go to see and be seen. You can dine among original artwork by famous Swiss and European artists while enjoying good Swiss food and heavenly chocolate mousse.

Local tip

Kronenhalle is open until 24:00, so you have plenty of time after sunset to enjoy the atmosphere and the chocolate mousse.
