Timeline
15:36
Pick up a slice of Deventer Koek or a seasonal bundle. The shop is open and perfect for a quick, sweet start to the afternoon.
16:21
Head to the Waag. You have time to wander the museum or just admire the leaning tower structure from the outside. The museum closes at 17:00, which is 11 minutes before sunset, so check if you want to go inside or stick to the exterior.
16:51
Watch the sun set toward the SW. The Waag’s lean is most dramatic in the low, golden light of the late afternoon.
17:11
End the evening at Bierencafe de Heks. It is just a one-minute walk from the Waag and open late, making it the ideal spot to warm up with a beer after the chill of the sunset.
Local tip
The Waag museum closes at 17:00. If you plan to go inside, arrive at least 30 minutes before sunset to ensure you have enough time before the doors lock.
