There is no shortage of fun clubs in the city. If you're in the mood for a little boogie with a chi-chi edge, Chin Chin is probably what you're after. Music here tends to err on the generic side, so don't expect any underground DJs.

These days, so many yoga studios are more about crunches and getting a sweat on than practicing true yoga. Thankfully not De Nieuwe Yogaschool! Grab a coffee in the garden and give the studio kitty, Isabella, a scratch behind the ears after class.

Breadwinner is, dare we say, a real winner when it comes to breakfast in the ‘dam. Opened by expats (so, you know they know a good schmear), this tiny sourdough microbakery churns out THE best bagels in the city. Tuck into an everything with cream cheese while you’re there and take one of their bagel BLTs to-go. Lunch sorted.
