Nice vintage-style cafe in a greenhouse building, close to the ex-industrial area of NDSM. In the summer is really nice to lay down on the sand and enjoy live music and concerts. Take the ferry for free to go to the NDSM stop just behind the Central Station. The Noorderlicht is 5 min walking distance from it.

An amazing place to go when the sun is shinning. Chill out on the sand and have some snacks and beers. You will enjoy the atmosphere of the place and the good vibes flowing. :-)

This is a typical dutch bar with with a long counter selling only Dutch beers, around 20 on the tap and 200 bottles. So forget the German, British or even Belgian beers! You won't miss them. Dutch breweries are great and producing even better and innovative beers in the recent years.

Another pearl to chill in the East and have not less than good Amsterdammer beers and well made cocktails. I like the unpretentious decor of the place, the friendly staff, decent music and the easy going customers. Weekends may be crowdy but reasonably quiet in the week days.

One of the best music venues in town. A former church turned into this music venue with a stage and a center standing area. Nice acoustic and good line-up. Gigs go on every evening of the year. If you have luck you may get tickets for a great band playing tonight or tomorrow.

This place is great when the sun is at its peak. Just outside of the tourist area and a bit hidden from the rest of the city yet just a few minutes away from the central station. Good beers and some snacks. A great garden at the waterside to sit down at especially when the weather is nice. Just sit down drink your drink and watch the boats come by.

A magical place... I love their story-telling and standup comedy nights (English language on Fridays). Cool people sit on cushions around the stage and have Iranian soups, beers and great time with these free-paid performances. A very nice cultural night to start the weekend!

Very nice rooftop bar/restaurant on the 7th floor of the cool Volkshotel with outstanding views of Amsterdam. This is a great option for a sunny day. On weekend nights it turns into a club.

The place is fairly well hidden, on the back side of an industrial park. It's a pos-apocalyptical-industrial warehouse with artificial sand beach in fron of it for lay down in sunny days or a big fire pit in the chilly nights. Very close to my apartment therefore it worths it your visit. It's a kinda of place you go in the afternoon and might cancel your agenda for the rest of the day.

Parks & Nature
There are more hype parks in Amsterdam. What like most in this one is the fact you can dive into the lake, make a barbecue everywhere and mostly, the fact is quieter than all the others.
