As an atheist, you might not find me very often in a church. However, I had heard such great stories about this little gem in the city center that I was curious enough to attend one of their weekend morning masses. The great thing is that every first Sunday of the month it can be attended for … Read more Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder – Beautiful attic
Everybody is always impressed with windmill De Otter. I mean, De Otter was opened in 1631. This is the last of a series of sawmills that existed in the Marktkanaal area before the modern neighbourhood got built. Just like everybody, I am always impressed with the structure. No matter how often I cycle past it, … Read more Windmill De Otter – Just do like it’s 1631
If you are not any sort of Burning Man goer, De Ceuvel’s area in Amsterdam-Noord will most probably look like an exquisite unfinished camp to you, with all its wooden planks, tires, boat parts, and other repurposed materials. But hey, De Ceuvel IS in fact a camp, but a technological one, where research in urban … Read more De Ceuvel – Sustainable island

Every time I write the word “surtitled” my auto correction magically switches the “r” in favour of a “b” because this must be a mistake. I rewrite it, but people have the same reaction. It must be a typo. You see, the English translation of ITA’s shows is located above the stage, not under, so … Read more International Theatre Amsterdam – Surtitled, it is
To be perfectly honest, it took me way too long to visit this museum which can be found at a very central place in Amsterdam, near the main shopping district. Nonetheless, it is a perfect place to get more information about the origin, development and background of the city in general but also some of its important attractions … Read more Amsterdam Museum – History tour
If you ask me, movie theater Tuschinski is the most beautiful Pathé (the biggest cinema chain in the Netherlands) in Amsterdam, if not the entire country. The interior and exterior has a mix of styles, namely: Amsterdamse School, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. As it is locally centered between the Flower Market and Rembrandtplein, this is also the … Read more Pathé Tuschinski – Hollywood allure
A couple of weeks ago, on a particularly sunny day, I took out my bike for a ride. On my detour home I suddenly remembered a museum my friend had told me about. Wasn’t that right around here? Yes. At De Nieuwe Ooster, the Dutch cemetery, in the former house of the funeral warden, there … Read more Tot Zover – Funeral museum
Every first Sunday of the month, on the grounds of the Westergasfabriek, you can visit the Sunday Market. Local designers, craftsmen and arstists show off their fashion, art, furniture and other oddities. It’s great to walk around from stand to stand to see, for instance, what the students of the Rietveld Art Academy are creating … Read more Sunday Market – Local art, food and fashion
Ruigoord is a former island and a village with the same name in one of the outskirts of Amsterdam. The village is known as an artists’ colony because vacant homes in the 1970s were taken by artists to use. Nowadays there are workshops around a wide range of ecological, political and corporate social topics and cultural … Read more Ruigoord – Hippie island
