Timeline
15:27
Start at Caffeine, a cozy spot just a short walk from the garden. Order a hot drink and settle in while the afternoon light is still soft. The café is open until 21:00 on weekdays and weekends, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.
16:12
Walk to Spalvų sodas. This vibrant mural was painted over three nights and five days specifically to bring joy to patients in the children's hospital clinic opposite. Find a quiet corner near the fence to get a clear view of the facade.
16:27
Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets at 16:27 toward the southwest. The golden light that begins around 15:21 will bathe the colorful artwork in a warm glow, creating a striking contrast against the winter sky. The mural’s bright colors will pop as the natural light fades.
16:57
End your evening back at Caffeine. The transition from the crisp outdoor air to the warm interior makes for a perfect close to the outing. You can reflect on the scene while finishing your drink.
