10 Leyn Baan Street.

Inside the Fort, in the old Dutch quarter. Walk in — the courtyard is past the front room.

The shopfront at number 10 Leyn Baan Street, a white picket fence, an A-board and the kaffi sign on the wall.

On foot

Everything in the Fort is a short walk.

The streets are a grid, the ramparts are the edge, and nothing inside is more than ten minutes from anything else.
