    Markučiai Park

    Walk 10 minutes northeast to Markučiai Park. This green area stretches east of the Pushkin Museum, linking with others to form a greenbelt between the city and its suburbs. Arrive early to find a quiet spot facing southwest.

    Markučiai Park

    Watch the sun set toward the southwest. The light will fade over the park as the day ends.

    KAVAkaKAVA

    Head back toward the center for a drink. KAVAkaKAVA is a coffee roaster open until 20:00, so you can still get a hot beverage or a quiet moment inside as it gets dark.

Local tip

The park is best viewed from the eastern side looking back toward the city for the sunset alignment. Check the bus route if you need to return to the Pushkin Museum area after your drink.
