WELCOME TO AMSTERDAM
Known for bikes, canals, museums, and fun – Amsterdam is the number one destination for a chilled and well-deserved city break…
WHAT TO WEAR
For any cultural excursions in the sun, from Rembrandt’s house to the Rijksmuseum via the Hortus Botanicus, Ivy and Bros, IJ-Hallen or Chekpoint Charlie (we’ll tell you more below), pair the Capri shirt with yellow or green stripes with our khaki Newport shorts, and the grey or camel Alan espadrilles.
For those unavoidable rain showers, go for our khaki or pink Almafi over shirt, the Devon jacket in light denim (with a ribbed velvet collar), and our khaki or navy Walton sneakers, which are more adapted to fresh, Amsterdam evenings.
A RESTAURANT
IVY AND BROS RESTAURANT
A place for lunch on the canal… Ivy and Bros is an all-day breakfast and brunch place in the heart of the Red Light District. What’s on the menu? A wide variety of vegan, veggie, and gluten-free options, as well as chakchoukas, quesadillas, roast chicken salad and much more!

THE IJ-HALLEN FLEA MARKET
Located on a former industrial site in the north of the city (which is also home to a restaurant, exhibition venues, festivals and concerts), IJ-Hallen is the largest flea market in Europe. Bonus: from Amsterdam-Centraal station, you can access it with a free (and beautiful) 15-minute ferry ride.

CHECKPOINT CHARLIE
Probably the best place to take shelter from the rain! A restaurant, concert hall and comedy club all in one, Checkpoint Charlie offers an array of board games and books (which you can take home with you if you ask at the bar).
