16:37
Stop at Gran Bar Riviera for a sweet start. Their zeppole and babà are excellent and perfect for fueling up before the walk.
17:22
Walk to the Obelisco - Meridiana. Find a spot where you can see both the stone obelisk and the meridian line on the floor. The air is usually calm this time of day.
18:22
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the W. Look for the moment the obelisk’s shadow falls precisely on the meridian line, marking the true local noon of the past, now illuminated by the setting sun.
19:07
End the evening at Birdy. This bakery is open late, offering a relaxed place to sit and digest the view.
Local tip
Check the route to the Obelisco if you are not sure where it is. Birdy is open until midnight on weekdays, so you have plenty of time to linger after the sun goes down.
