More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the Grote Markt as church bells fold into the morning air and the Spaarne nudges the city awake, its current daring you to follow the quays. Cobbled streets open into hidden courtyards, and the late-Gothic façade of the Grote of Sint-Bavokerk presides over a route that threads museums, breweries and canal-side views.
