eekend bender, we’ve come up with the best picks st out of this stunning city
SPOIL YOURSELF
STAY: Hotel De Paris: Room - £80 If you have cash to splash then this hotel is the way to go. Slightly outside the hustle and bustle of the city center, Hotel De Paris is situated near the other entertainment area of Leidsplein. All rooms offer a mini bar, air con and luxury amenities, making this hotel ideal for business trips and families. Find me: Marnixstraat 372-374
LUNCH: The Hard Rock Cafe - £25 Dine in the American Hard Rock Cafe with a Dutch twist and watch the canal boats gliding past you. At £25 per head the restaurant will more than satisfy your stomach and tide you over until the evening, serving mouth-watering steaks and hot fudge sundaes for when you’re craving a bit of comfort food. Find me: Max Euweplein 57-61
DINNER: RAIN - £35 A restaurant of many faces; by day a place to eat and by evening a place to drink. If your taste buds are feeling adventurous, this exciting menu offers a peculiar mix of world cuisine from crispy duck salad to hazelnut brioche. Modern, lively and music-fuelled, this is the place to be. Find me: Rembrandtplein 44
CLUBBING: Escape - £12-£20 If you are looking for an intense clubbing experience complete with strobe lighting and a throbbing bass, then Escape is the place to visit. Located in the main square, it is one of Amsterdam’s largest clubs, hosting five rooms and a variety of DJs every weekend. Find me: RembrandtPlein 11
CULTURE: Canal Cruise - £6.70 Sightseeing by foot can be tiring, so Amsterdam saves you the trouble of walking with mini cruises on their canals. The one hour journey takes you around the historical city, giving you the opportunity to view the spec- tacular Medieval churches and Golden Age buildings from a different angle. Find me: Prins Hendrikkade 33a
