NETHERLANDS: Review of our gay-friendly stay at Loft Westeinde Apartment in the City Center of The Hague during our Dutch City Tour around the Netherlands.

A Gay Couple City Weekend Groningen – Karl & Daan’s Dutch City Tour brought the gay couple to the “capital of the North”, especially for a visit at the Groninger Museum. Groningen with its compact and walkable old town surrounded by Grachten is very well known for its famous Groninger Museum. Currently with the V&A exhibition “David Bowie is”, the popular student life and a creative art scene. We visited the capital of the Dutch province Groningen on our tour around the Netherlands after our weekend in Eindhoven. Join us on and see the Dutch City Groningen through a couple of men’s eyes.

A Gay Couple City Weekend Eindhoven or how the history of light reinvents the Modern Dutch Design Capital in the South of the Netherlands. Eindhoven, the 5th largest Dutch City in province of North Brabant is a hiddeen historic treasure sadly often underestimated, even by its citizens. But Eindhoven is the European city of light, especially during the early 20th century when Philips, the electronic giant, started to influence the light life of the world. Exploring the city of Eindhoven with some time to walk the city also outside the center during a Gay Couple City Weekend, opened up the beauty of Industrial design and architecture. We as fans of modern design found so many, so beautiful spots to fall in love with all over the municipality, that we can only recommend to plan a trip to Eindhoven, even in January. Enjoy reading our kick-off story of our last years Dutch Gay City Tour with our perfect Gay Couple Weekend Eindhoven.

Muzieum Nijmegen Experience Blind World – The museum experience muZIEum (Engl.: MuSEEum). The basement of the Schouwburg (Theater) was transformed into a dark room fully equipped with everyday items and objects to create an environment alike blind people are experiencing our visible world, day by day.

The Restaurant GYS Voorstraat Utrecht is our tip for a city trip to Utrecht. Especially after a morning exploring the Dutch city. If you get hungry in the center, just walk around the famous Janskerk. In less than 5 minutes your next stop for a Lunch break is GYS. It is very easy to find, just at the corner of Amsterdamsestraatweg and Voorstraat in an old Dutch building, you will find one of the two GYS, the restaurant GYS Voorstraat Utrecht.

Restaurant Dertien Rotterdam is one of the hipper and interesting places Rotterdam has to offer. The Chef together with his young and motivated staff are offering special food and a variety of delicious drinks. The two-floor restaurant feels very open and the real fire oven (for cooking) and the old-fashioned way of “writing” the menu by putting small wooden cards with a ladder on the wall, gives this place a sense of craftsmanship with an eye for details. Talk to the guys and ask about their particular way of preparing food by fermentation. Especially a good place for foodies who like a bit of adventure and innovation.
