Want to have the kind of haircut people envy? Book an appointment at Bert Visser. Great both on cut and colour, this chic salon ditches the chaotic energy so often found at hairdressers. Go in for a trim and come out looking fabulous. A glass of bubbles in the Conservatorium’s bar after is the perfect way to celebrate a perfect hairdo.

If, somehow, you’ve managed to tire of the old master works of the Dutch Golden Age and are jonesing for something a little more modern, head over to Het Stedelijk Museum. This cool museum focuses on highlighting modern and contemporary art, as well as design. It’s just around the corner from the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, so it’s easy to soak up a lot of culture in one go.
