Roest is a place where you can go to escape the rush, without having to leave the centre. A place where no one judges anyone. There is a self service bar with a variety of beers brewed in Amsterdam. The interior constantly changes because Roest is open to everyone's creative input. Oh and don't be surprised when people take off their shoes inside..

If you get the chance to see a concert in Paradiso, you will never forget it. The acoustics and stained glass windows make a unique setting. With a capacity of 1500 people, concerts are still very intimate even when it is sold out.

Westerpark

The Westerpark is quite in the centre, but has only few tourists. What makes the Westerpark so cool is that it has much more going on than any other park. It has a cinema, a few restaurants, a jazz cafe, a bakery, a petting zoo, some great clubs and bars and also tv-studios. Ah, and it is the first park in The Netherlands with free WiFi!

The center of Amsterdam is pretty, yes. And you should definitely spend a lot of time there. But area's like Bos en Lommer show you the real city. Behind the scenes. A lot of the Moroccan and Turkish people of Amsterdam live in this area and you will notice that on every street corner. On the market all the cultures are united.

Holland is a beer-country. The premium beer is still the most popular beer. Not here. Go to Brouwerij Het IJ to experience the taste of special beers: Brown beers, blonde, white and many other types of beers. You can also have a guided tour or a beer tasting in the brewery.

If you are into second hand stuff and would like to bring home some nice cheap 'new' clothes, this is your place. The market is in and around two big former factories, where they used to build ships. That creates a very industrial, but definitely not cold setting.

With the main entrance just next to Leidseplein, it is no wonder that Het Vondelpark is the most popular park of Amsterdam. It is named after Joost Van Vondel, who was a Dutch poet and play writer. All ages come here to relax, sunbathe, play guitar, football or frisbee. Some do their homework here, some might have a drink or joint.

Pllek serves responsible food. Meat (organic), fish (sustainable) and veggies (organic and seasonal) show that they care about the planet. Most ingredients are locally grown. During the day this is a great place to have lunch, dinner or a relaxed lounge afternoon, but keep in mind that it also owns Amsterdam's biggest disco ball..

If you look at the building from the outside, you would never think that it fits 4 cinema's, a 1200m2 exposition room, a filmlab and the biggest film library of The Netherlands. You should definitely visit EYE if you are a movie freak, but also the cinemas have massive leg and arm space and the quality of the sound.. Man.

Amsterdamse Bos

Although the Amsterdamse Bos is completely artificial, it still creates the feeling of a real forest. The best time to visit is of course in summer, when the sun (and the people) are out here doing their barbecues and throwing their frisbees. But going for a long walk on a windy day is also very pleasant here.

If you want to see more places in Holland besides Amsterdam, but you don't have much time, then Zaandam is a nice option. To be honest, Amsterdam locals love Zaandam because, well, they have Primark. But when you walk around, you'll see that there is a lot more to it than a shopping street. Zaandam is only 10 minutes by train from Central station.

Amsterdam is: old architecture, beautiful canal-scenery, cool atmosphere - but not many people know that all this can be found in one awesome area: The Plantage (centre/east). It has leisurely parks, cosy cafés (reasonably priced!), a beautiful old zoo, monuments, museums and it is wide, airy and not overcrowded. Perfect for a sunday afternoon.
