Amsterdam is a fabulous place to discover, but visitors often stick to the famous well-known sights and attractions. Yet the city features many great unexplored nooks and crannies! You just need to know where to find them. Three locals share their favourite secret hotspots.
Coffee? Clothing? Coffee bar Hartje Oost on the east side of town serves both! Hartje Oost specialises in wares that don’t necessarily match but go perfectly together. A fun atmosphere with a hint of vintage and a menu packed with organic and local products.
You will find De Wasserette smack in the middle of the authentic Amsterdam neighbourhood De Pijp. Trendy Amsterdammers descend here in droves for breakfast or lunch. The generously filled sandwiches are very popular. It’s the perfect spot to sit out a Dutch rain shower.
De HaarBarbaar is a stylish barber shop in the heart of the picturesque shopping district Negen Straatjes in Amsterdam. A salon just for men that welcomes its clients not just with coffee, but also with a beer or a glass of whisky. Yes, even at 11 o’clock in the morning!
