    Opium

    This is a hot new place that will rock your socks off. Its Asian fusion cooking matches the gorgeous minimalist interior; think fans, clean angles and plays of light. Tempura of softshell crab in sweet chilli sauce with spring onion and paprika gives you some idea of what's on offer.

    Vrijthof

    Vrijthof is the heart of the city, a large square surrounded by lively cafes and photogenic churches. It's dominated by Sint Servaasbasiliek (Basilica of St Servatius), a pastiche of architecture dating from the 11th century. Sint Janskerk, a small 17th-century Gothic church, is one of the most beautiful in the country. Climb to the top for gorgeous views.
