Where to point the camera
On this selected date, the sun reaches 22° at its highest point and the evening light approaches from 250° WSW.
Pick the month before the day
December is the generous sample in Copenhagen — 1 hr 46 min of golden light — while March tightens the window to about 1 hr 11 min. The 90° seasonal walk of the sunset point (227° SW in December, 317° NW in June) matters more than the clock time for framing. June days run 17 hr 30 min; by December they shrink to 7 hr 4 min.

Find the months when sunset faces your spot
Pick the direction your subject faces the sky. Months whose sunset lands within ±10° light up in the table above. Disabled shortcuts have no matching row in this visible mid-month sample.
Each row samples the 15th of the month at these coordinates, so dates near a month boundary can differ from the printed row — around here day length moves up to ~5 min per day in the fastest season. Clock times follow Europe · Copenhagen, including any daylight-saving change.

The moon over Copenhagen is a Full Moon, 99% lit. Treat this as lighting context, not a visibility forecast.
Use them only as map-search leads; they are not ranked recommendations. We have not verified current access, closures, permits, safety, or an unobstructed view. 250° WSW is the selected-date mathematical sunset bearing; if another composition faces elsewhere, use the bearing planner in the month table above to locate better-matched sampled months. The number is a planning aid and does not prove visibility.
In Copenhagen, the evening golden hour window runs 1 hr 18 min on the selected date and approaches from 250° WSW. Arrive 15 minutes before its start when that window occurs, then choose a position with an open view toward that bearing. Don't rely on the generic “one hour before sunset” rule here — the real window shifts with the season, so check the computed times for your date.
See the calculation method and limits before relying on the estimate in terrain-sensitive or safety-critical conditions.
