races are perfect for those first days of
spring or long, warm summer nights. Another
great place for eating is the village’s
historical heart, located around a square
called Reghthuysplein. Here, you will find
various cafés, restaurants, little shops and
a small harbour – again with striking views
over the lakes.
Winter, spring, summer or autumn: the
quintessentially Dutch Nieuwkoop offers
an authentic experience whatever the
weather. Practice your ice-skating moves
on the (if you are lucky) frozen lakes, join
the locals for supping on a sunny afternoon,
explore the peaceful environment
on your bike or learn about the village’s
fascinating history in one of its many museums.
No matter what your interests are,
this is a part of the Netherlands that you
do not want to miss.
