Whether you’re heading to the EYE Filmmuseum to catch a killer exhibition, a screening of an unusual movie or simply to snap a photo of its beautiful design, you will not be disappointed. We like to settle into their café with a coffee (or a drink!) to enjoy the sweeping views of the IJ. If you have a Cineville card or Museumkaart, you’ll get a little discount on your tickets.

Keetje K. is a pop-up bistro in Tolhuistuin's gardens. Open for 30 days, and 30 days only this short-spell stint is R. de Rosa's newest project. Hop on a ferry and tuck in to some natural vinos, ridiculously scrumptious dishes and plenty of canelés. Cadge a table before the locals nab them!

Third-wave coffee has really taken Amsterdam by storm. You can hit up any area & find a great café serving up killer coffee. Though we love them all, probably the coolest one in the city is located in Noord, Public Space. It’s fresh & industrial yet still warm & inviting, and they have a lunch menu so good you may never eat at home again. On a day you have to knock out a bit of work, pack up your laptop, hop on the ferry & settle in at Public Space for a few hours.

Bookworms or culture fiends, Het Leeshuis is a reading house. It's all about giving great books a second life: so bring your books, take some books or exchange some books.
