Grab a coffee and pastry at Kafischnaps. It is open late and close to the museum, giving you fuel before the walk.
16:01
Leave the Uhrenmuseum zum Rösli. Take Streetcar no. 7 to the city center.
16:16
Stop at Zunfthaus Zur Waag for a light snack or drink. It is very close to the viewpoint and open during the afternoon.
16:31
Walk up to Lindenhof. Find a spot on the hill facing west. The Roman fort ruins offer a historic frame for the view.
17:01
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light from 16:12 will have just washed over the city before the final drop at 17:01.
17:21
End the evening at Bierhalle Wolf. It is a lively beer hall with live music and local food, just a short walk away.
Local tip
The museum is open by appointment, so confirm your visit or just use it as a starting point for the streetcar ride. Lindenhof is a public hill, so no ticket is needed for the view.
