Don’t be fooled into thinking the Butcher Amsterdam just serves burgers. It’s also one of Amsterdam’s hidden gems, a secret cocktail bar.

A short bike ride from the city centre you’ll come across some of Amsterdam’s loveliest countryside, and a windmill or two.

The Dutch aren’t exactly known for brunch but wait till you try Little Collins. A hidden gem in De Pjip it’s Amsterdam’s best brunch spot.

The courtyard of this former convent, hidden off the Spui, is an oasis of calm in the hustle and bustle of central Amsterdam.

Holland and tulips might seem like a cliche but a visit to Keukenhof, Europe’s largest flower garden, will put a spring in your step.
