Shopping

Great for niche and alternative stores. Nice and quiet compared to the Kalverstraat and Nieuwendijks.

A flea market that runs every second week, located in the old shipbuilding yards. Enjoy the nice trip over on the ferry. Entry cost is ~4.50€

Food Scene

I love the old charm and that it feels like it has been there for hundreds of years. Usually a long line up to eat there and no reservations taken. Only go if you like to eat meat.

The old tram workshop converted into an indoor restaurant market with bars, a cinema, and other random stuff. Definitely worth a visit!

Great bakery. Definitely a favourite. Not far to walk to, but you can also catch the tram. They do take-out, but you can also enjoy a coffee and something to eat there.

Entertainment & Activities

You can order bottles of beer, play jenga and pinball with friends. Not your regular bar! There is also another location in westerpark, which is bigger and has a larger variety of games available.

Amsterdam is beautiful from the water. You can get on one of the organized boat tours that leave from close to Central Station. Another option would be to rent your own boat. This is especially nice in summer. We have good experiences with this company. Another company we have used is mokumboat.

There are plenty of cinemas in amsterdam and close to my place. Tuschinki is the most famous one. You can check which movies are screening on pathe.nl Other locations (Pathe city and Pathe de Munt) are also within walking distance. If you prefer art-house movies you can check the website of another company, Kriterion. www.kriterion.nl.

Voted one of the best 5 whisky bars in the world! I think they have over 500 varieties to try from. Definitely super gezellige atmosphere, with staff who can give you help with what to choose.
