Lonely Planet review for De Rode Hoed
De Rode Hoed is a cultural centre that occupies three glorious 17th-century canal houses. Its line-up includes lectures by world-renowned authors and debates on the topics of the day, sometimes in English. It’s worth a visit, even when nothing’s on, to view the three-storey main auditorium, which was once the largest clandestine church in the Netherlands. The centre was named for the hat shop once located here (spot the tile on the facade that identified the place).
