If, somehow, you’ve managed to tire of the old master works of the Dutch Golden Age and are jonesing for something a little more modern, head over to Het Stedelijk Museum. This cool museum focuses on highlighting modern and contemporary art, as well as design. It’s just around the corner from the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, so it’s easy to soak up a lot of culture in one go.

From the team that brought us Oficina, comes the café bar we never knew we needed. Located within the Stedelijk we now have no excuses but to stay for longer in this brilliant gallery. With a coffee and pastry bar in the entrance hall and a cafe upstairs, FONDA serves a dangerously delicious combination of the finest Hinata matcha, the richest cold brews, and some scrumptious seasonal plates. Go early to nab one of the in-house baked focaccia, the toppings change daily although the pesto, wild garlic, and Dutch sheep's cheese is our current go-to.
