Experience Amsterdam the local way with this insider's e-guide
Home to great art, an eclectic food scene and vibrant nightlife, this multicultural city is packed with treasures. But it's not all about the Rijksmuseum and centuries-old canals. Beyond the well-trodden sights there's a secret side of the city - and who better to guide you to it than the locals?
This insider's e-guide includes recommendations from Amsterdamers in the know, helping you to discover all their favourite hangout spots and hidden haunts. Relax at a canalside bruin café (traditional Dutch pub) in Jordaan, check out the cutting-edge art and Europe's largest flea market at NDSM-Werf and take a bike ride through the polder landscape in Amsterdam Noord.
Whether you're an Amsterdamer looking to uncover your city's secrets or a traveller seeking an authentic experience beyond the tourist track, this stylish e-guide helps you to experience the real side of Amsterdam.
