A very nice and chill hangout along the waterside. Built out of upcycled material such as old houseboats and an old life guard pavilion.

If you go to any restaurant in Amsterdam North, make it this one, the food and wine are both seriously amazing, and the waterfront view is also very nice. What's more, this is also a cinema with a really nice selection of films, and super comfy couches instead of regular seats.

Sightseeing

In summer it can get quite busy, but in the Jordaan it only adds to the charm. Walk along the canals, have a drink at an old Dutch cafe, enjoy the iconic views. Even better if you have the chance hop on a boat!
