The place
Barrera is the Rapenburg's long-standing café, opposite the Academiegebouw, the university's oldest building, which is why students come here to celebrate finishing their degrees. By day it is the best spot on the canal for a sandwich: the Rapenburger, the BLT and a special that changes every month. In the evening there is beer, cocktails and wine, and sometimes even a mirror ball.
Practical details
Open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 and Sunday from 11:00, until past midnight. In summer the terrace by the canal fills up. It is two minutes from the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden and the Hortus.
What to order: the Rapenburger, the house sandwich, on the terrace by the canal.
