Timeline
15:00
Grab a coffee at Buberts. It is the closest spot to the landmark and opens early enough to start your walk with a warm drink in hand.
15:30
Walk to the 'Labor conquers all things' sculpture. The 11-minute stroll from Buberts puts you there just in time to explore the piece created for ABLV Bank's anniversary before the sun dips low.
15:55
Head to Esplanade Park. It is a short 19-minute walk from the sculpture, offering a quiet green space to rest your legs and enjoy the golden light hitting the statue from the side.
16:15
Return to the sculpture for the sunset view. The sun sets toward the SW, casting long shadows across the steel structure. Check the route if you need to retrace your steps.
Local tip
The walk between the sculpture and Esplanade Park is short but involves city streets. Keep an eye on your coffee cup if you carry it from Buberts.
