Timeline
15:59
Pick up a coffee or tea at Wash Perk. The café opens early, so you have plenty of time to grab a warm drink and settle in before the walk begins.
16:14
Walk 35 minutes from the café to Washington Park. Enter the park and find a spot near the lakes or gardens. The park is large, so take your time to find a comfortable seat with an unobstructed view toward the west.
16:59
Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets at 16:59 toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 16:18, so the sky will be painting the park in warm hues for the last 40 minutes before the sun dips below the horizon.
17:29
End the evening with a late dinner at Jerusalem. It is open until 3AM, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed, no-frills Middle Eastern meal after the cool evening air.
