This is maybe the best seafood restaurant in Amsterdam. Located in Noord, across the water, reached by metro or ferry, this old warehouse turned restaurant has fresh fish every day. Great for a gin Tonic as well. You wont run into too many tourists here, and the vibe is very chill. Food is amazing.

An area that up until a few years ago was not the nicest area to walk around, has really improved over the past few years. Many new bars, cafes, restaurants and little shops, especially in the Javastraat make this a vibrant and cool area. Restaurants like Bar Basquiat, Benji's or vijfnulvijf are great for a snack, lunch or dinner. Also in this area, the Tropenmuseum, a great museum next to the lovely Oosterpark.

Haarlem is a town located about a 15 minute trainride form Amsterdam. Haarlem is the city with the most churches per person in the country. They have amazing old squares, some great museums and also canals! A little bit less crowded than Amsterdam, Haarlem is a great alternative and you will probably see some things you weren't expecting to find in Holland!
