Grab a drink at Oliver Twist. This Irish/British pub has a good atmosphere and English ales on draught. It is open from 12:00 to 24:00, so it is ready for your pre-sunset arrival.
16:01
Walk to the Kunsthaus. The museum is open from 10:00 to 18:00. Use this hour to browse the collection of Swiss and international art before the main event.
17:01
Head to Lindenhof. This hill in the heart of the old town offers a beautiful view of the city. At sunset on 15 January, the sun sets toward the WSW, providing a perfect backdrop from this vantage point.
17:46
Dine at Zunfthaus Zur Waag. This authentic Swiss high-end restaurant serves meals in two courses to keep them hot. It is open from 18:00 to 22:00 in the evening, fitting perfectly after the sunset.
Local tip
The Kunsthaus may have closed parts of the museum due to the new extension, so check if all galleries are accessible. Lindenhof is a public space with no opening hours, but the view is best in clear weather.
