Neighborhood guide (around) De Plantagebuurt: De Plantagebuurt originated in the 17th century as an expansion district outside the busy city center.

Hence the name 'Plantage' – referring to planting and space. Today, the Plantagebuurt is a particularly quiet enclave in the center, where culture and nature merge in a natural way.

Neighborhood guide; the Vondelpark neighborhood West. 'What makes this location so special is that you actually get the best of three districts: Oud-West, Oud-Zuid and Zuid.'

Focacceria
The Italian Valeria Lucente finds the Italian restaurants in Amsterdam surprisingly good, but she does miss the flavors of home. Especially the focaccia from her region. This delicate flatbread, about two centimeters thick, is airy, greasy and as soft as a cloud. Unlike focaccia from other Italian regions, the Genovese version does not have a crispy, but a soft top. This is because the dough is brushed with olive oil, water and salt before baking. Especially in Genoa, focaccia is enjoyed at every meal and that is now possible in Amsterdam.

Totally Dennis Huwaë. Daalder has 1 Michelin star.
