    Valhalla Wine & Coffee

    Grab a coffee at Valhalla Wine & Coffee. The space is filled with cosy antique furniture, and there is an outdoor garden if the air is crisp.

  2. 16:05

    Amber clock

    Walk to the Amber clock. This sundial-shaped design object is made from thousands of pieces of amber donated by locals. It is a striking public art piece on the promenade.

    St. Meynard's Church

    Head to St. Meynard's Church for sunset. The building is unique, having been a gift from the Vatican after serving as their pavilion at Expo 2000 in Hannover. It sits southeast of the city centre, offering a peaceful backdrop to the sun dipping below the horizon.

    Restaurant Piano

    End the evening at Restaurant Piano. It is open late and provides a warm place to settle in after the cold air.
