When the sun shines, locals and tourists alike flock to Amsterdam’s sunny terraces. Discover the best places in Amsterdam to soak up the summer sun! For many months of the year, sunshine is a rare commodity in Amsterdam. So when the warm rays finally peek through the clouds in spring and summer, it feels like everyone in the city comes out of hiding to enjoy a drink outdoors at one of Amsterdam’s many terraces. Thanks to its northern location, Amsterdam has extra-long summer days. The sun sets at 22:00 at the start of summer. Soaking up the sun with a drink in hand is one of the city’s most popular summer pastimes, so you might not find a table at the first café you see. Be sure to have a couple options in mind before you head out the door. Here are more than enough suggestions to get you started. The city centre is bursting with outdoor options – if you know where to look.
