Timeline
09:00
Pick up a specialty coffee and a pastry at Forrest Specialty Coffee. The design-forward space offers a calm refuge to plan your walk before the mid-morning rush.
09:15
Walk to the Cameron Offices. Arriving just as the complex opens at 09:00 allows you to view the concrete facades and structuralist details in the soft morning light without crowds. The external viewing is available 24 hours, but early morning offers the clearest perspective of the architecture.
09:50
Stroll over to Capital Food Market. Wander through the European-inspired pavilion and browse the artisanal traders. It is a great spot to pick up a snack or browse the goods in a relaxed, indoor setting.
Local tip
The Cameron Offices are best viewed from the exterior. Check the route to the market from the offices, as it involves a short walk through the surrounding area.
