Why seating spots matter

Sometimes people simply want to sit down for a while. To eat a sandwich, rest after a walk or enjoy a view in peace.

Yet good seating spots are surprisingly hard to find when you do not know an area. That is exactly why this category belongs on Spot & Find.

200 places added right away

Together with several partners we mapped 200 seating spots in the Netherlands and added them to the map.

This includes not only forest benches, but also calm city spots, viewpoints and useful break locations on the go.

A practical addition for everyone

This category may be less flashy than a hidden gem, but in practice it is incredibly useful.

Whether you walk, cycle, take photos or simply want to rest, a good place to sit often improves the whole route.
