Timeline

  1. 13:00

    Climate Pledge Arena

    Arrive at Climate Pledge Arena. Even without a tour, the exterior is a striking piece of mid-century architecture. Take a moment to appreciate the historic listing and the way the building holds its ground against the modern skyline.

  2. 13:15

    Cafe Goldinblack

    Walk seven minutes to Cafe Goldinblack for a relaxed lunch. It is a good, inexpensive Korean spot known for solid bibimbap and lunch specials. It is the kind of place where you can sit back and recharge without the fuss.

  3. 14:00

    Olympic Sculpture Park

    Stroll ten minutes south to the Olympic Sculpture Park. This green space on the waterfront features monumental sculptures. It is a quiet, open area that offers a gentle walk and a change of scenery from the urban grid.

Local tip
