    Koi Sakana Ramen

    Start with a warm ramen bowl. Koi Sakana Ramen opens at 11:00, so this step is timed for a late morning arrival when the restaurant is fully open and ready for service.

    Cathedral of the Transfiguration

    Walk to the Cathedral of the Transfiguration. The cathedral is impressive from a distance, especially when viewed from the east. Use the quiet morning hours to appreciate the scale of the structure and the world's largest three-bell carillon without the midday rush.

  3. 16:35

    Victoria Square Park

    End your visit at Victoria Square Park. It is only a short walk north from the cathedral. Sit for a while to digest your meal and enjoy the green space under the morning sky.
