The Foodwalk Winter

From November 13, 2026, to January 23, 2027, you will walk over five kilometers through wintry Amsterdam every Friday and Saturday evening with Le Foodwalk Winter. Along the way, you will stop at five restaurants for a bite, from Vermeers Wijnkamer and In de Waag to Dignita Hoftuin and We Are EDN. It is great with friends, your date, colleagues, or family if you want to combine walking, good food, and discovering the city.

Kusama at the Stedelijk

One of the exhibitions I am looking forward to most this autumn: Yayoi Kusama at the Stedelijk Museum. The exhibition brings together work from the period 1956–1968, featuring paintings, installations, performances, and fashion. I am a huge Kusama fan myself, so this is high on my list. An added bonus: there are also special events and programs surrounding the exhibition.

Wunderkammers at ART Zoo

Relatively new in Amsterdam is ART Zoo on the Herengracht, where art, nature, and taxidermy come together in a monumental canal house. My son found the Wunderkammers alone beautiful to look at. The enormous animals and dinosaur skeletons also make a big impression. In addition to the permanent collection, there are rotating exhibitions, so check what is on display before you go. Fun with and without kids.
