Breakfast tastes better here, for some reason. Freshly baked bread, yoghurts, organic omelets.. you name it, they'll make it and serve it with a smile. Definitely worth it.

Sightseeing
De Pijp's very own 'central park' - smaller than the famous Vondelpark, but full of locals and dog owners going for a stroll or a jog. In summer it makes for a perfect hangout place!

Everything Else
The Dutch answer to Central Park - and a lot nicer if you ask me - the Vondelpark has it all. Food, drinks, sightseeing, people watching; jogging and bootcamp classes; dogs and their owners. A mustsee
