Featured
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..

EYE - Film Instituut Nederland

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.

You won't find many tourists here, simply because it is a bit tricky to find Roest. But the journey here pays off immediately when you walk in. Cosy fire place, old cinema seats, second hand Chesterfield couches, cool art and funny details in the interior. It seems innocent, but at night it can get quite naughty.

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.

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.

The park is not that different from any other park, besides that it is in the city centre. Still, there are many things to do here. Crazy locals with an old transistor radio, a little girl on skates and a homeless man playing guitar. And all of that within 50 meters, that is how you could describe the park.

Visit the Westerpark if you need a break from the crowded city and you don't want to get high because of a cloud of weed smoke hangin' around like in some parts of the Vondelpark. Don't confuse the (actual) Westerpark with the neighborhood called 'Westerpark'. The park lies in the neighborhood.

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.

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.

In 2010 Zaandam had a big makeover: A new impressive town hall and hotel next to the train station in the style of their 'Zaanse Huisjes' and a new shopping street that leeds to the old center. Some like it, some absolutely don't. Zaandam is good for a short shopping and for getting a glimpse of what other Dutch villages look like.
