Watch the sunrise over Tallinn from the grounds of the PROTO Invention Factory. The sun rises toward the SW, offering a clear view of the morning light hitting the city skyline.

Head back toward the city center for breakfast. Stop at Põhjala Brewery & Tap Room for coffee and pastries. It opens at 12:00 on weekdays, which fits perfectly after the morning light has fully arrived.
Local tip
The walk from PROTO to the Old Town is long. If you prefer a shorter stroll, consider ending your coffee at Maiasmokk instead, which is closer to the Opera and opens at 09:00.
