Amsterdam terrace also expanded this winter | Inland

This means that the scheme that makes it possible for catering entrepreneurs to enlarge their terrace will be extended from 1 November to 1 March 2021. They do not need to apply for a permit again. Terraces may also remain open longer this winter. Normally they had to close at 8 p.m. That will be 10 p.m., which is also the closing time for all catering businesses for the next three weeks.

However, each district ultimately decides whether an extension of a terrace is allowed. “When the pressure on accessibility, liveability and public space becomes too great, terrace extensions will not be extended,” said the municipality. “For example, pedestrians must always be able to pass a terrace at a sufficient and safe distance, nuisance for local residents and parking pressure in a neighborhood must not be too great.”
