With a luxurious sun terrace and calming views of the Amstel river, we can't imagine a lovelier place than this  to enjoy a fine cocktail. Grab a drink at sunset and watch the city float by. 

The oldest department store in Paris with the most excellently curated collection. You cannot forget to visit La Grande Épicerie de Paris, their amazing food section, but definitely don't go here when you're hungry. Pop in for a coffee break or a quick lunch at Rose Bakery Tea Room, too!

An iconic boutique hotel dripping in red velvet with a charming courtyard. The guest rooms are some of the most lavish in the city done up exclusively in red velvet and antique wallpaper. Go for afternoon glass of wine or an after-dinner cocktail at the romantic bar (especially on Saturdays), the people-watching is always fabulous. Plus, listen to their signature house music. 

This stunning building gracefully situated on the Amstel is home to the world renowned Dutch National Opera & Dutch National Ballet. You can, of course, find age old classics performed here, but we’re particularly enchanted by their unique, progressive productions. They have an ever-changing roster of performances, so it’s wise to check their website for their current opera & ballet performances.

Harry's marries fresh local ingredients, inviting ambience and stellar service for a memorable dining experience. Situated in Hotel Beaumont, this international brasserie is great for hotel guests and locals too.

Uninterrupted views of the sea, a private plunge pool and a breathtaking surrounding landscape. Six Senses at Zighy Bay is a place like no other. 

Once the weather turns crisp we love piling into the car and heading out to Olmenhorst to pick fresh and delicious apples and pears from their abundance of fruit trees. In spring, the trees start blossoming and is the perfect time to stroll through the orchards with family and friends.

You pay careful attention to what you're wearing, so we definitely expect you're doing the same for your little ones. Bonpoint has the most elegant & adorable children's clothing. 

Even if you’re not hunkering down for a day of work at Fosbury & Sons co-working space (though you can buy a day pass if you need to get some work done while you’re here), you can still be lucky enough to grab a bite at their in-house restaurant. The space is gorgeously outfitted & the food is supremely Instagrammable, so you’ll be feasting your eyes as well as your stomach.
