    Play a round of pitch and putt on the 18-hole course. It is a relaxed, family-friendly sport that takes about an hour and leaves you with a clear head for the walk ahead.

    Rollebollen

    Walk 39 minutes to Molukkenplantsoen. Climb the Kardingerbult hill for the prime viewing spot. The rolling metal balls (Rollebollen) are nearby if you want to kick them around while waiting. At 15:44 the sun is setting toward the southwest, casting a warm glow over the city below.

    't Feithhuis

    Head to 't Feithhuis for dinner. This historic cafe-restaurant is just a 1-minute walk from the Martini Tower area. Order locally sourced food to keep the evening cozy and grounded.

    De Uurwerker

    Finish the night at De Uurwerker. This vibrant restaurant and bar on the square offers tasteful pizzas and a lively atmosphere. It is the perfect spot to wind down after a full evening out.
