Every hipster in Amsterdam (& believe us there are many) has been to FOAM once or twice in their day. This cool, contemporary museum focuses on photography & photography alone. They’ve got an ever-changing roster of impressive exhibitions from photography icons, as well as a small space to highlight up & coming photographic talent. Once you’ve sauntered through the museum, grab a coffee from their café downstairs & hit the gift shop. You can never have too many coffee table books.

Door 74 is a fun take on classic prohibition bars. Hidden away in a tiny alley, this bar prides itself on being difficult to find. Once you ring the little doorbell, you are welcomed into a world of vintage wines, bubbles and exquisite cocktails.
