After a day of sightseeing, we were hungry, so made our way to a restaurant quickly. After dinner we ended up in a cafe for tea, baklava and hookah (for those, who wanted – not for me though), afterwards some of us wanted to proceed for a drink with a view.

We somehow assumed, the flame towers would be a good place to do so (is there a better building for a rooftop bar?), so we made our way through town to the funicular, got on the last train of the day and eventually made it into Highland Park. We had another walk over to the viewing platform for some nighttime views of town. From here it was back to the flame towers, where – to our surprise – we ran into a construction site with two of the three towers closed off and parts of the third tower also not finished. Well – needless to say, there was no such thing as a sky or rooftop bar here. We ended up heading back towards the old town and finally found a good option there … directly looking at the flame towers.
