Timeline
15:08
Grab a drink at the large courtyard of Artistai pub. It is open until midnight, so you have plenty of time to sit and watch the sky brighten.
15:43
Walk the four minutes up to the Gate of Dawn. This is the last survivor of the walled city's nine gates. Arrive just in time to see the golden light hit the chapel facade before the sun dips below the horizon toward the WNW.
16:38
Head to Cozy for a hearty meal. The laid-back restaurant upstairs is perfect for settling in after the walk. It stays open until 01:00, so you can enjoy the food and the vibe as the city lights come on.
Local tip
The walk from Artistai to the Gate is short and easy. If you want a quicker route, note that the Gate is only a four-minute walk from the pub area.
