Lost in Amsterdam Paperback

Amsterdam. Paved into its streets is an artistic heritage centuries old. And though its liberal laws and relaxed environment have pulled in tourists in recent decades, the city offers much more than canals and coffee shops. The legacy of the Dutch Masters lives on, trans- formed, in a new generation of innovative artists and designers. The docks and wharfs of the Noord are examples of abandoned corners that have been reclaimed and reinvigorated. Even the architecture has been reinterpreted, with a modern spin on the classic canal house.

Visitors today can travel to pop-up restaurants on abandoned islands or dine in 300-year-old green houses. Despite its rich history, Amsterdam is constantly evolving.

But it’s the people who shape the city’s atmosphere. In Amsterdam we spoke to gifted personalities: the local denim king, an urban artist, a celebrated chef… Our recommendations are complemented by photographic showcases and in-depth stories from global and local talents. It’s all about original minds and the creative vibe. Get lost in the sights, smells and flavours of the city. Get lost in Amsterdam.

A skate ramp in a restaurant, a bar in a former officers’ mess, a natural beach in the center, animals on boats, a warehouse for vintage furniture, a baking stuntman…

Get lost in the city of variety.
