Time Out Guide

More about the book

Europe's most infamous city remains one of its most popular, and not without good reason: between its world-class art museums, its eminent canals that are perfect for wandering, and its coffee shops that don't exactly specialize in coffee, its variety is glorious indeed. However, with one of Europe's more forward-thinking cultural scenes and striking new architectural developments in IJburg and the Bijlmermeer, there's much more here to enjoy than the clichés; written, researched and edited entirely by locals, the Time Out Amsterdam guide tells travelers all about it. Highlights include Amsterdam after dark - the best restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in the city; an unmatched section on the city's cultural scene including galleries, performance art, classical music, and theater; and trips beyond Amsterdam to the flower auction in Aalsmeer, the cheese market at Gouda, and the windmills of Alblasserdam.
