Grab a coffee to keep warm. Кафема opens at 07:30, which is 16 minutes before sunrise on this date, so you can get your first sip while the sky is still dark.
08:46
Walk to City Beach to watch the sun break over the horizon. The beach is on the River Promenade just below the cathedral. Be prepared for crowds, as it is hugely popular with pedestrians on warm days, though in January it will be quieter and colder.
09:31
Head to Chocolate for a warm breakfast. This stylish eatery is just a short walk from the beach and offers an international menu and cappuccino to warm you up after the sunrise view.
Local tip
The beach can get packed with sunbathers in summer, but in January it is a peaceful spot for the sunrise. Dress warmly.
