Walk from De Scheg towards the old town. The sports centre is south of the railway, so head north across the tracks and into the historic center. This is a steady walk to burn off energy before the evening.
16:21
Arrive at Beestenmarkt to catch the golden light. This raised circular seating area with the corten steel cow sculpture is best viewed in the fading afternoon light. The sun sets toward the SW, so the western exposure of the square will catch the last warm hues of the day.
17:06
Head to Le Thai Cuisine for dinner. Located just a short walk from Beestenmarkt, this local favourite serves Thai dishes in a cosy setting within the arched vaults of a historic mansion. It opens at 16:30, so you will arrive right as it gets busy, ensuring a lively atmosphere.
18:06
End the night with a drink at Bierencafe de Heks. This small pub specialises in beer with over 70 different sorts. It is open until 02:00 on weekdays, making it a perfect spot to unwind after dinner.
