    Spoilt For Choice

    Pick up a coffee and a cake from Spoilt For Choice. It is one of the best spots for a quick, quality bite before heading out, and the barista-made coffee will keep you going.

  2. 14:45

    Weston Park Museum

    Walk to Weston Park Museum. The galleries on natural and social history are pleasant to browse, and the grand building fits the atmosphere. You can spend a bit of time here while the light is still bright.

    Botanical Gardens

    Head to the Botanical Gardens. The restored Victorian gardens are a tranquil green oasis. At this moment, the golden light filters through the formal borders and rose garden, creating a peaceful scene away from the city noise.

    Nonna's

    End the evening with dinner at Nonna's. It is a short walk from the gardens and a trattoria that gets good reviews for food and service, a perfect way to cap off a sunset walk.

Local tip

The Botanical Gardens are a short walk from the museum. Keep an eye on the sky as you move between the museum and the gardens to catch the peak golden light.
