Climb the Martini Tower for the best view of the city waking up. The square is empty and the light is soft on the brickwork.
14:29
Walk down to grab a simple lunch. The bowl of salad or baked potatoes are excellent and ready quickly.

Stroll over to the historic 't Feithhuis. Sit in the courtyard or the historic building to digest your meal in the sunshine.
15:44
Return to the Martini Tower. The golden light is hitting the tower and the surrounding square at its peak intensity.
Local tip
The walk between the tower and the restaurants is short and flat. If you prefer a drink over lunch, De Pintelier is open from 15:00, so it is not suitable for this morning plan.
