Start with a late lunch at De plantage. The large terrace is perfect for soaking in the afternoon light before the sun dips. Check the hours to ensure they are open for lunch service.
16:11
Walk to Levensboom. This is the spot to stand and watch the sun set toward the southwest. It is a moment of reflection on the monument's history as the light fades.
17:26
Head to Café Smit & Voogt for a drink. Locals love this place for its timber booths and the chance to catch the last of the afternoon sun on the footpath before night falls.
Local tip
Café Smit & Voogt is situated inside a beautiful building and serves a selection of beers. It is a great place to stay after the sunset has passed.
