    Dravec

    Walk to the Dravec sculpture. The morning light is clear and the area is quiet. Enjoy the public art in the university grounds before the crowds arrive.

    Staroměstský park

    Stroll east to Staroměstský park. It is a twenty-eight-minute walk from the sculpture. This is a good time to explore the green space while the city is still waking up.

  4. 15:32

    qb box

    Return to qb box for a final coffee or snack. The café stays open until 17:00, which gives you time to relax there as the golden light begins around 15:40. The setting sun moves toward the WSW, casting long shadows over the area.

Local tip

The qb box is a coffee container, so seating is limited. If it is busy, take your drink to the nearby benches for a better view of the sculpture.
