EXPAT: THE PERFECT DAY IN ZUID

Slow mornings at Le Petit George

Start your perfect Amsterdam Zuid day with a sunny breakfast at Le Petit George, where the neighborhood slowly wakes up around you. Order a fresh coffee and a golden croque-monsieur, then settle onto the terrace while stylish locals cycle by on their morning commute. With its Parisian charm and relaxed atmosphere, it feels more like a hidden café in Saint-Germain than the middle of Amsterdam.

Beer and bitterballen

After a slow morning, make your way to the most famous park in the middle of Amsterdam: Vondelpark. There are many hidden corners, pathways and flowerbeds to explore, but after an extensive lap around the park, take your well-deserved break at Het Blauwe Theehuis. Part of the local brewery Brouwerij ’t IJ, they serve the best Dutch delicacies there are: craft beers and bitterballen. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sun.  

Sunset Cocktails at Sonora

End the day above the city at Sonora, the rooftop bar at nhow Amsterdam RAI. As the sun sets over Amsterdam, sip on a cocktail and watch the skyline light up. The perfect finale to a day in Zuid.
