About

One of my favourite summer hang out spots, Noorderlicht cafe is the perfect spot for drinks with a view. This cafe is most beautiful during summer or spring times when the terrace is open, so you can sit right by the river, the outdoor fire pit is lit, so you can scotch around the fire. Sometimes they even have live music playing there. Cafe is located in a huge greenhouse building decorated with many plants and old school furniture. So in the colder times you can sit inside and enjoy the beautiful interior. Nooderlicht always gives me a hip festival feeling.
