In-Depth Information
Market Square is lined with trendy bars (Café Studio is gener-
ally the hot spot for a drink here) that seem made for nursing a
drink. Lange Veerstraat (behind the Grote Kerk) is colorful and
bordered with lively spots. Boter Market Square is more conviv-
ial and local, as it's less central and away from the tourists. And
Vijf hoek, named for the five lanes that converge here, is incredibly
charming, although it has only one pub (with plenty of drinks, bar
snacks, a relaxed local crowd, and fine indoor or outdoor seat-
ing). The area from this cutest corner in town to the New Church
(Nieuwe Kerk, a couple of blocks away) is worth exploring. If you
want a more high-powered scene, Amsterdam is just 20 minutes
away by train.
