what’s on
The next seven days in Amsterdam.
A short, hand-kept list — not a full calendar. We don’t try to list every gig and pop-up; we list the ones worth rearranging your week for. Updated daily.
A quieter week in Amsterdam.
Nothing on our editor’s shortlist for the next seven days — we list events the way we list walks, with one ear to the ground rather than a firehose. We’ll be back with picks soon. Meanwhile, the city is still walkable: here are four routes that read well any day of the week.

Four walks for an empty week.
The Amstel: from the Blauwbrug to De Omval
The river the city is named for — the skinny bridge lit at dusk, the locks, and the east-bank café row.
Amsterdamse Bos: the forest the unemployed built
A two-kilometre rowing course, a goat farm, the big meadows, and a wood dug by hand in the 1930s.
Begijnhof: the courtyard and the bookshops
A medieval almshouse hidden behind a door, two great bookshops, and the city's oldest house.
Borneo-Sporenburg: the self-built quayside
A red wave of a bridge, sixty houses each designed by their owner, and a whale on the water.
