Breakfast tastes better here, for some reason. Freshly baked bread, yoghurts, organic omelets.. you name it, they'll make it and serve it with a smile. Definitely worth it.

Sightseeing

De Pijp's very own 'central park' - smaller than the famous Vondelpark, but full of locals and dog owners going for a stroll or a jog. In summer it makes for a perfect hangout place!

The central place of the city, from which you can go all directions. Here, you'll also find the main shopping street (De Kalverstraat) as well as high-street warehouse De Bijenkorf.

Everyone knows the story of Anne Frank, and it comes alive when you visit the museum. As a local I've only been there once, but the experience will always stay with me.

Everything Else

The Dutch answer to Central Park - and a lot nicer if you ask me - the Vondelpark has it all. Food, drinks, sightseeing, people watching; jogging and bootcamp classes; dogs and their owners. A mustsee

Drinks & Nightlife

If you feel like splurging a little, why not sip on one of the best cocktails you'll ever have whilst enjoying breathtaking views? The 19th floor of the Okura, arguably, has the best bar in town.

Arts & Culture

The best club in town, hands down. Music ranging from rock to dance to classic to jazz. Make sure to buy tickets during the day to avoid disappointment - trust me, you don't want to miss it.
