Timeline
07:08
Find the Armistead Monument. Stand facing WSW to catch the first light hitting the statue as the sun breaks the horizon.
07:42
Walk to the nearby Orpheus with the Awkward Foot statue. The morning light offers a clear view of the monument details before the crowds arrive.
07:59
Head to Charmed Kitchen for coffee and breakfast. It opens at 06:30, which is well before the 07:24 sunrise, so you can sit down immediately.
08:24
End your morning at the SS John W. Brown. The Liberty ship is berthed nearby, and the morning light reflects beautifully off the water and the historic hull.
Local tip
The walk from the monument to the café is short and straightforward. Check the route if you are unfamiliar with the area near Fort McHenry.
Check before you go
- Charmed Kitchen opens at 06:30 on weekdays and 08:00 on weekends. Since the sunrise is at 07:24, you will be fine on weekdays, but on weekends you may need to grab a coffee from the street or wait slightly longer inside.
