Timeline
14:41
Grab a slice of pizza and a drink at Kajakas. It opens early enough that you can settle in and eat before the light changes.
15:10
Walk to Maarjamäe Palace. Arrive well before sunset to find a good spot on the grounds facing southwest. The palace walls will catch the warm, low-angle light.
15:55
Watch the sun dip below the horizon. On this date, the sky turns pink and orange as the light fades over the SW direction.
16:20
Stay for the blue hour. The palace silhouettes against the deepening sky offer a quiet end to the evening.
