    Le Quartier

    Start with a pastry at Le Quartier. The bakery opens at 08:00, so you have plenty of time to grab a coffee and a treat before the afternoon rush.

  2. 16:49

    Memorial Park

    Walk east from the bakery to Memorial Park. Spend the last half hour wandering the paths and trails. The floral displays and historical monuments are best appreciated in the softening light.

  3. 17:19

    Memorial Park

    Stand by the open space and watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starting at 16:37 will have warmed the scene just before the final dip.

  4. 18:04

    Avoli Osteria

    End the evening with dinner at Avoli Osteria. It opens at 17:00, so you can arrive shortly after sunset for a Northern Italian meal in the historic Dundee neighborhood.
