Amsterdam Like a Local - By the People Who Call It Home

Experience Amsterdam the local way with this insider's guide

We can't get enough of Amsterdam, with its monolithic museums, first-rate food joints and centuries-old canals. But what's beyond the classic sights? Cozy brown pubs hosting lively quiz nights, family-run bakeries plating up organic goodies, secret basements pairing live storytelling with homemade soup - we could go on. There's so much more to Amsterdam than Dam Square and the Rijksmuseum, and who better to show you around than the locals?

This insider's guide is packed with recommendations from Amsterdamers in the know, helping you to discover all their favourite hangout spots and hidden haunts. Of course, with a city as storied as Amsterdam we could fill the pages of this book tenfold. Rather, Amsterdam Like a Local offers a snapshot of local life, and it's yours for the taking.

Whether you're an Amsterdamer looking to uncover your city's secrets or a traveller seeking an authentic experience beyond the tourist track, this stylish guide helps you to experience the real side of Amsterdam.
