Walk to Sandėlių kompleksas to find a clear view of the eastern horizon. The fort’s old walls frame the sky as the sun begins to rise.

Stand at the edge of the fort and watch the sunrise. The sky brightens over the historic structure, marking the start of the day.

Walk north to J. Basanavičiaus parkas (10 minutes). Find a quiet bench in the park to relax and enjoy the morning atmosphere.

Head to Sotus Svečias (6 minutes from the park) for breakfast or coffee. The cafe opens at 08:00, so it is ready for you after the sunrise.
