These are the best hotspots in Amsterdam South
Our favorite part of the capital, with its streets and delicious bistros: Amsterdam South. And that is of course also because there is always something to see on the street: fast cars, nice celebrities and many style divas who we like to be inspired by. We list the best hotspots.
Amsterdam South in a nutshell
Officially, this district consists of the Apollobuurt, Buitenveldert, Hoofddorppleinbuurt, Landstrekenbuurt, Museumkwartier, De Pijp, Prinses Irenebuurt, Rivierenbuurt, Schinkelbuurt, Stadionbuurt and Willemspark since the merger of Oud-Zuid and Zuideramstel in 2010. When we talk about South, we are talking about the current Oud-Zuid neighbourhood, signed, among others, the Museumkwartier (with the PC Hooftstraat Schuyt-straat), the Apollobuurt (with the Hilton Hotel on the Apollolaan) and Willemspark (with Kliniek Kalea, for all your injectables, in the Van Eeghenstraat).

Look before you start. Especially when it comes to strolling through the famous shopping streets. This is home to many paparazzo’s slash playing field. Even if you’re not a celebrity, you don’t want an involuntary cameo in the background of a paparazzi photo. Do you see a famous Dutch person and do you hear a clicking camera? Casually hide behind your personal shopper handbag. Enjoy your moment. But… eating, drinking, smoking and laughing open-mouthed doesn’t shoot like that.
