Timeline
07:00
Walk to Park Tivoli and find a clear view of the castle. The sun rises directly behind the castle tower during this window, creating a striking silhouette against the morning sky.
07:30
Watch the sunrise. The alignment is specific to the winter months, so check that your visit falls between early December and early January.
08:15
Head to Cafe Capri in the city center for breakfast. It is open from 08:00, so you will arrive just as they start serving fresh, scratch-made brunch dishes. It is a cozy spot just steps from the Dragon Bridge.
Local tip
Park Tivoli is a large park. Arrive with enough time to walk from the entrance to a good vantage point facing the castle. Cafe Capri closes at 14:00, so this plan works best for a morning start.
Check before you go
- The sunrise alignment behind the castle only occurs between 08 Dec and 04 Jan.
- Cafe Capri is only open 08:00-14:00.
Worth knowing
- Sun position is calculated. We have not confirmed the view is unobstructed.
