Timeline
16:52
Grab a coffee or snack at Rubenis AVM. The mall is open until 22:00, so it is easy to pop in before heading out.
17:02
Walk east from the mall to the Trabzonspor Monument. It is an 81-minute walk from the stadium, but since you are coming from the mall area near the old town, the walk is shorter. Use this time to settle in and find a good spot against the wall or fence facing west.
17:17
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, directly behind the Şenol Güneş Stadium. The golden light starts at 16:34, giving you a warm glow before the sun dips below the horizon at 17:17.
18:02
Head to Black Chicken for dinner. It is located near the Trabzonspor Monument area and serves Turkish food. It is open until 23:00, making it a reliable spot for a post-sunset meal.
Local tip
The walk from the old town to the stadium area is long. Start your evening early if you want to avoid the heat of the day before sunset. Black Chicken is open seven days a week, so you do not need to worry about closing times.
