The view in the morning, lighting, design, and other accommodations and facilities on site were great! The staff were helpful and answered all of our questions. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the cats and hedgehogs were great to see wandering around the site! We loved the eco-friendly aspect; if you think this...

The Grote Markt, the city's central square, is surrounded by numerous bars and pubs. Many establishments here have outdoor seating, which is popular in warmer months. You'll find a mix of traditional Dutch pubs and more modern bars, often with a student crowd.

The Poelestraat, running off the Grote Markt, is another central street packed with bars, dance clubs, and late-night eateries. This area tends to be more energetic, with music often spilling onto the street. It's a popular choice for those looking to dance or enjoy a lively option.

Nearby, the Peperstraat offers a slightly different selection, with some larger clubs and a few cocktail bars. It's often busy later in the evening and provides options for those seeking a more dedicated club experience.

The area around the Vismarkt and Folkingestraat has a more relaxed evening scene, with some wine bars and pubs that cater to a slightly older crowd.
