I cut through the Krasnapolsky Hotel in Dam Square the other day while heading to the Central Station. On the way, I noticed a very charming outdoor eating area (pictured below). I wandered in and snapped a quick photo before continuing back into the hustle and bustle of summertime pedestrian traffic.

This is one of the joys of nice weather in the Netherlands: green, open-air spots for relaxation pop up everywhere. Keep your eyes peeled – you never know what you’ll find next.
