While New York, Los Angeles & London are certainly at the forefront of the boutique fitness studio revolution, we hold firm that Amsterdam is catching up quickly. PLTS is a sleek & stylish Pilates studio located in Amsterdam’s Oud West. Don’t be fooled by the chill, calming décor (though we do love feeling like we’re at the spa). The workout is killer. We promise.

This fun little urban garden shop is a green thumb’s paradise. This green oasis provides everything you need to pimp out your home with adorable plants, pots, accessories, books and more.

This cool, fun streetwear brand has great unique pieces. We love that it was born right here in Amsterdam and never miss an opportunity to stop by their Bilderdijstraat location for fun upgrades to our ever-growing wardrobes.

Hidden away on a quiet residential street in Oud-West, this all-day neighbourhood favourite serves everything from generous breakfasts and French-inspired seasonal plates to homemade cakes and well-earned glasses of wine. Claim a spot on the tree-lined terrace, challenge your friends to a game of jeu de boules, and see where the afternoon takes you. Chances are, you'll end up staying for dinner.
