Timeline
15:56
Start with a pre-sunset drink on the terrace. It is not big, but you sit right beside the canal, perfect for watching the light change.
16:41
Walk to the sawmill opposite Buyskade. Position yourself to catch the final moments of daylight on the structure as the sun sets toward the SW.
17:26
Head back to the bar for a nightcap. If the terrace is too cold, check out the beautifully restored interior in this laid-back place.
18:11
End the evening with dinner. This small, cosy restaurant at one of the main canals serves new Dutch cuisine with classic French influences, featuring mainly organic regional produce.
Local tip
The bar is open until 01:00 on weekdays and 02:00 on Friday and Saturday. The restaurant closes at 22:00, so book ahead if you want a table after the sun goes down.
