Timeline
14:52
Grab an ice cream. It is open late enough for an evening treat.
16:07
Head to Saint Catharinachurch. Stand in the centre of the Simonsplein and look toward the southwest as the sky begins to change.
16:52
Watch the sun set. The light fades quickly, but the silhouette of the rebuilt church stands out against the evening sky.
17:22
End the evening with a drink at Merleyn. It stays open until 02:00, so you have plenty of time to stay.
Local tip
Check the route if you need to get from the ice cream shop to the church. The walk is short, but timing is key to catch the golden light before the sun dips.
