Get lost in the arty Jordaan

Often cited as Amsterdam’s most charming neighbourhood, wandering into the Jordaan feels like stepping back in time. Originally a working-class area, the Jordaan’s narrow streets and quaint buildings now make up one of Amsterdam’s most desirable quarters, dotted with independent art galleries, antique shops, courtyard gardens and atmospheric bars and restaurants. Ditch the map and lose yourself in the labyrinth of narrow lanes.

Relax at Vondelpark

It doesn’t matter if it’s simmering hot or wintery cold, whenever the sun is out in Amsterdam the locals head to the first terrace or park they can find to soak up some vitamin D, and you should too! The most popular park in Amsterdam is the Vondelpark, located right in the heart of Amsterdam. ‘T Blauwe Theehuisje is an icon amongst locals and the perfect spot to relax with a cold beer or a cup of hot chocolate after your stroll.

what to eat & drink in netherlands

Dutch food is a dream and we’re here to guide you through all the seafood, pancakes and deep-fried delights you can get your hands on.

Soused herring

No one eats herring like the Dutch and you’ll quickly get to know the Dutch way of eating maatjesharing, or soused herring. The fish is lightly salted, mildly brined but never cooked by heat. To do it like the locals do, hold the fish by the tail high in the air, then tilt your head back and eat the whole tasty lot in one go.

Stroopwafel

If you’re on the hunt for dessert, the Netherlands is the place to be. One of our favourite treats is the stroopwafel, a sweet waffle made from two thin layers of baked dough. Once you bite in, you’ll find a heavenly dollop of caramel syrup in the middle. Buy them fresh from the market or take a few home… we’re sure you won’t stop at one.
Read more... Read less...

Bitterballen

These delicious deep-fried balls are made from meat roux cooked in a rich beef stock of onion, nutmeg, salt and pepper. They’re crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside and best washed down with a beer at a local cafe. Do as the locals do and dip them in the classic tangy mustard, but be warned - they’re highly addictive.
