Timeline
08:15
Walk through Seaside Park in the quiet morning air. The park is in the center of the city beside the beach, offering a peaceful start with views of the water as the sun begins to rise.
08:40
Head to the promenade to see the Amber clock. This sundial-shaped design object is made from thousands of pieces of amber and marks the time. The morning light hits the amber pieces beautifully at this hour.
09:00
Be at the beach edge of Seaside Park for the sunrise itself. The sun sets toward the SW, but in winter, the early morning light offers a soft glow over the horizon from this central vantage point.
09:45
Walk to Restaurant Piano for breakfast. It is just a minute's walk from the Amber clock area. Open from 07:00 on weekdays and 08:00 on weekends, it is a reliable spot for a warm meal after the cold morning air.
