16 X hotspots on the Overtoom in Amsterdam West

6 February 2017

And all of the sudden the overtoom is getting hot hot hot

The Overtoom in Amsterdam West is, just like the Amstelveenseweg, one of those streets which is all of a sudden really worth a visit. The Overtoom is an extension of the Amstelveenseweg so that explains the hotspot madness as a lot of new places are opening the doors there. Time for a re-visit of the Overtoom to check it out and create a list for you with the best addresses there.

A while a go Stach opened their Asian Food Court, Anne tried a lesson of Hot Yoga at David Lloyd (perfect for the cold days: she was glowing all day!) and we went to one of our favorite concept stores of Amsterdam: Friday Next. Discover them all in this new list with 16 hotspots to visit on the Overtoom.
