WELCOME TO THE

NEIGHBOURHOOD!

Welcome to Amsterdam! Your residents experience

begins with this booklet full of local shops, restaurants

and things to see and do. We leave the Red Light District,

Wax Museum and Royal Palace to the tourist guides.

Instead, weve made a selection of truly unique places

our neighbourhoods have to offer. With this guide in your

pocket, you can wander off the beaten path and come

out the other end with a smile.

WELCOME AT

YAYS AMSTERDAM

Everybody is curious by nature and looking for new

inspiration and enrichment of the mind. Therefore we

combined the special experiences and heritage of a cityneighbourhood with the luxury of a concierged boutique

apartment in characteristic buildings with a story. Yays

creates the conditions for our guests to unlock the hidden

treasures of that neighbourhood. In that sense we want to

give every guest the feeling to be a resident.

~ Peter Heule - CEO Yays ~

BICKERSGRACHT

If Amsterdam is more like a village than a city, then this holds

especially true for Bickerseiland, just northwest of Central

Station. Surrounded by canals and crossed with charming

narrow streets, Bickerseiland offers that unique piece of quiet

in a city storm. Stay on the island if youre looking to take it easy

or head south to the lively Haarlemmerdijk with its many cafes,

boutiques and restaurants and the markets on Noordermarkt,

Lindengracht and Westerstraat. Go west for a stroll or run in

Westerpark or east to discover the architecture and hidden

restaurants of the newly built Westerdok.


7/51


ZOUTKEETSGRACHT

Tucked away to the northwest of Central Station lies the

Zeeheldenbuurt. Named after great Dutch seafarers, this is

a part of town you wont find in many tourist guides. Not yet,

that is. Its a true residents neighbourhood with lots of local

restaurants and coffee shops. Watch the ships sail by on the

river IJ, jump on a bike and visit the monthly Sunday Market

in the nearby Westerpark or catch an art house movie in

Amsterdams oldest and oh so charming movie theatre

The Movies. Leave the city guide at home and wander through

the streets as if you have always lived here.

Get your Italian fix right here.

Eat in, take out or tap your own

bottle of olive oil from one of

the massive barrels.

Mondo Mediterraneo breathes

a culinary passion thats

difficult to find this far north.

Good thing we found it

nonetheless.

When youre done tasting

beers at the next-door

neighbours Brouwerij t IJ,

Grand Caf Langendijk is the

perfect venue to ward off a

potentially liquid dinner with a

solid one. We reckon one of

the nine delicious homemade

burgers on the menu should do

the trick.

A whopping one-third of all

food produced worldwide

goes to waste. Instock raises

awareness by cooking great

food using products that would

otherwise have been thrown

out. Of course all the products

used meet the strictest health

standards. And did we mention

the food is delicious?

Wilde Zwijnen (Wild Boars) is

located somewhat hidden

behind the former bathhouse

turned restaurant

Badhuis Javaplein. Luckily,

Wilde Zwijnen does not need

to be in the middle of a square

to be found. Although the name

suggests that the menu is

dictated by meat, meat and

meat, they do serve fish and

vegetarian dishes.
