Timeline
09:12
Buy a thermos of coffee and a pastry from the hypermarket. The stores open at 08:00, so you have plenty of time to grab supplies before heading out.
09:32
Walk 16 minutes WNW from the mall to the Paska Kaupunni graffiti wall. Arrive just in time to see the sun crest the horizon. The low light makes the graffiti pop against the winter sky.
10:27
Head 2 minutes away to Puistokahvila Makia park café. It is open from 07:30 on weekdays, so it is ready for you to warm up with lunch or a salad buffet while watching the morning light settle over Hupisaaret park.
Local tip
The hypermarket closes at 21:00, but for this early morning plan, you will be there well before opening. The park café is a popular spot for students, so expect a lively but relaxed atmosphere.
