Local tip
The walk between the Norwegian Church and the Pierhead is short and straightforward. If you prefer a quicker coffee, Quantum Coffee Roasters is a seven-minute walk away.
Check before you go
- Quantum Coffee Roasters closes at 18:00 on Sundays, so arrive before then if visiting on a weekend.
- The Sultan is open from 09:00 to 23:00, so it is available for your post-sunset dinner.
