Vismarkt
A wellknown location is the Vismarkt. Whilst doing your weekly strolling over the market place, why not stop by for a nice ice ceam at Hollander? Personally we love the colored slush ice or the soft ice with tiny nuts on them.
You can take a seat on one of the small stools next to the cart.
