Timeline
08:13
Walk 136 steps to the roof of Dockland. Arrive early to claim a spot on the glass and steel parapet. The building’s ship-bow shape frames the harbour perfectly as the sky lightens.
08:28
Watch the sunrise. The sun sets toward the SW, casting a golden glow across the water and the steel structure. Stay for a few minutes to let the light fully hit the warehouse district.
08:43
Walk down to Café Mozart. It opens at 06:00, so it will be ready for you. It is officially named Sushi Mozart but operates as a café. Grab a coffee and a pastry to warm up while the rest of the city is still quiet.
09:13
Take a 57-minute walk east to the Speicherstadtmuseum. This branch of the Museum of Labour is housed in a historic docklands warehouse. Explore the history of the district and the tea and coffee trade in the quiet morning light.
Local tip
The walk from Dockland to the museum is long. Use the time to enjoy the coffee at Mozart before heading out.
