Cultural Note
The moment the sun appears in the Netherlands, terraces fill up instantly — a phenomenon called 'het terrasseizoen' (terrace season). The Dutch love of outdoor seating is legendary, with some cafes putting blankets and heaters outside to extend the season. The first warm spring day when terraces reopen is practically a national holiday.
