Find a quiet bench in Jourdain Park to watch the sunrise. The park sits east of the High Kraainem residential complex, offering an unobstructed view toward the west-southwest where the sun will rise. Arrive early to secure a spot with a clear line of sight.
08:33
Walk to Carrefour Express to pick up a simple breakfast or coffee to take with you. This small supermarket in High Kraainem is one of the few open on Sundays, making it a reliable stop early in the morning.
09:08
Head to The New Inn for a proper sit-down coffee or breakfast. Located in the historic center of High Kraainem, right in front of the town hall, its terrace offers a beautiful view of the old town and the Saint Pancras Church. It is a calm place to reflect on the morning light.
Local tip
The walk from Jourdain Park to the town center is short and pleasant. If you prefer a hot meal instead of coffee, San Tucci is a fine Italian restaurant nearby, but it opens at 12:00, so it is better for lunch. De Ronne Hoeck is another option for a drink, but it does not open until 14:00 on weekdays.
