If ever you could imagine a city oasis, nowhere is quite imagined as serene as Pure Wellness is. Never have we ever felt more at ease after a massage or facial than at this spot.

Not all that glitters is gold, but there sure is a heck of a lot that glitters here at Inez Stodel. This wonderful shop sells a wide selection of rare & wearable antique jewellery from their shop on the Nieuwe Spiegelstraat. Expect jewels from grand houses like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron & Mauboussin, ranging in date from antiquity to the 1970s.

We’re not really sure why, but we’ve always found it nearly impossible to find tasty, healthy food on-the-go. If more traditional fast food options aren’t tickling your fancy, you’re in luck, as Soup En Zo is just around the corner. They have a rotating selection of delicious, seasonal soups, as well as fresh prepared salads. We love to grab a few containers whenever we go.

To walk into Kunsthandel Artist is to enter another world, one where beauty comes first and a 21st-century preoccupation with practicality can be tossed out the window. Malachite boxes shimmer next to Louis XIV stools. A dream, a dream, a dream.
