Capital of Drenthe, small and green, with one weekend a year when everything is different.
The TT
The motorcycle races at the end of June bring hundreds of thousands. The circuit sits against the town and hospitality operates at another level that weekend.
Eierballen
Drenthe belongs to the northern zone. Snack bars in Assen carry it as standard, with coarse mustard.
The Brink
A green square with trees and terraces, a fixed form in Drenthe. Every village has one, and Assen’s is the largest.
Farm produce
The province has many small producers: cheese, sausage, honey, vegetables. Roadside shops selling directly outnumber restaurants.
Where to look
The Brink for terraces, the centre for restaurants, the villages for farm shops.
