The ten terraces where you can already enjoy sitting

A big sweater, steaming mug of tea, hefty sunglasses, and a sunny Amsterdam terrace. With these four ingredients, you can turn a day into a favorite day. But on which terrace are you going to park your bottom? Because that favorite day should last forever, so you prefer a spot where you can sit baked in the last rays of sun. We found them for you, the ten sunniest terraces in Amsterdam.

1. Edel

On the deck at Edel, I already knocked back quite a few gin and tonics. For example, on the day I finished my thesis. Warm memories. Again this summer, please.

2. Lion Noir

Eclectic terraces are done here, with white table linen and a silver cutlery set. Lion Noir is the queen among terraces. Surrounded by the facades of the canal houses. Located on Reguliersdwarsstraat.

3. De Tulp

De Tulp is located in the Pijp at Marie Heinekenplein. You want to nestle there all day long, really. With a truffle croquette in one hand and a cold beer in the other.

4. Hopp Amsterdam

A tropical rooftop terrace of hotel Casa in Amsterdam-East. A top location to start or end your weekend.

5. Vondelpark3

If you're going to drink cappuccino for hours, it has to be in a sunny Vondelpark. First a round in the park and then settle down nicely at Vondelpark3. Just to clarify, Vondelpark3 is located in VondelCS. You know, that big white palace-like building where, for example, the finale of ‘Who Is The Mole?’ is filmed? Parenthesis closed.

6. Waterkant

A place where it always feels like you're outside. This is a favorite of many. Here you sip through the afternoon and sneak onto the dance floor in the evening. With the Surinamese influences they incorporate at Waterkant, that's quite a good idea.

7. Meneer Nieges

By the water, in the sun, on a lounge cushion, under a little tree: Meneer Nieges in a nutshell. Definitely worth trying out this spring.

8. Café Fonteyn

Is ‘people watching’ your hobby? Then you must visit Café Fonteyn at Nieuwmarkt.

9. Miss Moneypenny

If there are picnic tables on the sidewalk, I'm quickly in. Miss Moneypenny (that name alone) is definitely worth a visit for drinks. Right in the city, including an addictive cocktail menu.

10. Dignita Hoftuin

You really want to celebrate a brunch, coffee, or party in the Hoftuin of Dignita. This green piece of the city is unexpectedly found on Nieuwe Herengracht.

Don't forget your sunscreen.
