About
快速信息: 每天都有街头艺人的音乐和小吃摊的香气交织，喧闹中透出一种独有的城市脉动。夜晚路灯把湿润的石砖照成金色，纪念碑与古老建筑的轮廓形成戏剧性的对比。
亮点: 每年5月4日晚上8点，成千上万人会在广场中心的纪念碑前静默两分钟，点燃数百支小蜡烛以纪念战争牺牲者，寂静和烛光把周围的喧闹吞没成温热的金色。平日里，身着银色或金色妆容的真人雕像常在古旧石板路上静立超过两小时，偶尔伸手递出一张小纸条，纸上可能只写一句冷笑话或一行即兴诗，伴随铜铃和木箱敲击发出的低频节奏，整个场景像一幕流动的黑白电影。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the cobbles and standing crowds can be tiring.
- Stand on the steps of Nieuwe Kerk or by the National Monument for the best palace façade photos.
- Avoid weekends around midday when tour groups and buses cluster; early morning or after 6 p.m. is noticeably quieter.
- For cheaper meals, head into adjoining side streets like Kalverstraat rather than eating on the square.
