Every Monday a flower market pops up at Amstelveld, one of the prime hubs and city squares of Amsterdam.Be there early to have your pick of the bunch and drop by the collection of stands selling cheese, honey, and berries. From mid-March, it becomes a tulip emporium. 

Did we really need another cutesy bar on the canals? Not really, we thought. But after visiting Café Marcella, we’ve changed our tune. Big time. This charming, red-awninged café on the Prinsengracht is a lovely spot for a long, languorous breakfast with the paper in tow as it is for a buoyant, booze-filled afternoon with friends on the weekend. They’ve scored serious bonus points for their elevated ‘borrelhapjes’.

Even on the rainiest of Amsterdam days, a trip to Movements Studio will have you feeling hot and sweaty. With the rooms reaching a steamy 40 degrees, this workout isn't for the fainthearted.
