Between the stained-glass windows, lofty ceilings, and post-workout endorphins, this another of  Zuid's atmospheric workout studios. Originally founded in San Francisco, CORE40 has built a loyal following thanks to its signature Lagree classes, combining strength, cardio, and core training on the Megaformer. 

We are so, SO grateful that there’s been a boom in the number of great Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam in the past few years. There’s a wonderful mix of casual and fancy, sushi and yakitori. When it’s sushi we’re after (and when we’re fortunate enough to score a much-coveted reservation), Umeno has to be one of our top picks.

A lovely outpost of one of our favourite coffee spots, set right on Olympiaplein in Amsterdam Zuid. Stop by for expertly brewed coffee from Amsterdam's Five Ways Coffee Roasters and pair it with one of their excellent pastries.

The museums of Oud-Zuid aren’t the only ones who rule the roost, despite how it may seem. This culture-soaked neighbourhood is also home to many a fantastic gallery. Chief amongst them is EENWERK. Designed by Barend Koolhaas & opened in 2017, this contemporary exhibition space has quickly become one of our favourite spots in the city.
