Queen's Day, Netherlands

Next to the Hof square is located the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwetoren church, which is considered the tallest in the city. In addition, it is clearly visible from any city. The turret is simply a goldmine of legends; you should definitely get to know them from the locals. You can climb to the observation deck on a spiral staircase, from where you can behold incredibly amazing views of the hometown of Piet Mondrian, enjoying and envying the locals a bit, who see such beauty every day. To the commoners, the temple is simply called “the heart of the Netherlands”, since it is believed to be located right in the middle of the country. The church is very beautiful, both on the outside and on the inside.

Another architecturally interesting building can be found while walking along the Pothstraat. The houses are called Hofje de Armen de Poth. This is a kind of charity shelter which was founded as far back as the 16th century. All of them can literally immerse you in the medieval atmosphere, since the buildings are all built in this style. You can also take a nice walk along Oude Haven. A leisurely walk through the canals of the city is the best way to brighten up your time in the city – after all, there are also a lot of little houses in the medieval architectural style, which will give you real pleasure while looking at them.
