This boutique hotel is striking to say the least. Designed by Philippe Starck, expect the interiors to rival the dramatic architecture.  Cool off in the rooftop pool with its crown-shaped fountain or enjoy their legendary Roja Tango show at the in-house theatre, El Cabaret.

Swing by this charming wine bar for piles of fresh homemade sourdough, plates of charcuterie and plump nocerella olives to be served alongside some excellent local wines. Their weekly wine tastings and informative classes are the perfect introduction to Argentine wine.

On the hunt for an intimate, chilled restaurant? Head to Gran Dabbang for fusion small plates inspired by the chef's travels that are made with local fresh Argentine ingredients. Don't miss the Swiss chard pakoras with carrot chutney.

Stroll through this popular urban park and wander around the three lakes. Don't miss the Poet’s Garden filled with bronze busts of famous wordsmiths from Pirandello to Shakespeare.

With so many people already working remotely & more transitioning to that working from home lifestyle by the day, the work week can get a little monotonous. When boredom strikes (or we desperately need a little human interaction) we like to settle in at VENU for a day or two. It’s the perfect place to collaborate or simply create on your own. At VENU, inspiration is always flowing.

These days, it’s pretty easy to find a great spot to pick up a bottle of natural wine or two, & we must say we’re pretty thrilled about that. But just a few years ago, it was a near impossible feat unless you knew about OG natural wine shop Vleck Wijnen. Today, this wholesaler & importer is still leading the charge in wonderful, exciting natural wines.

Amsterdam is no stranger to great music, especially when it comes to techno, deep house and EDM. Start, continue and end your night at murmur, one of Noord's many excellent bars and clubs.
