Morning
On a fine stretch of the Amstel River, dainty Magere Brug makes a good spot to begin. Walking north, follow the river’s curve, pausing at Amstel 104 and its equally crooked neighbours. Reaching Munttoren, wander along the Bloemenmarkt, then head down Reguliersbreestraat, where you can check your email at easyEverything (No. 22) before checking out the incredible Tuschinski Theatre a little further along the street.
Chic Utrechtsestraat, with its appealing selection of restaurants, cafés, delicatessens, boutiques and galleries, is perfect for both shopping and lunch. The best Indonesianrijsttafel in town is served at Tujuh Maret.
Afternoon
From Utrechtsestraat cross to Amstelveld, where the wooden Amstelkerk lends a countrified air, and Reguliersgrachtintersects picturesquely with Prinsengracht. Make your way along Prinsengracht, cross Vijzelstraat, and dive into Weteringbuurt. On the other side of Prinsengracht, admire elegant Deutzenhofje (Nos 855–99), erected in 1695 for destitute women.
From here, it’s only a short walk to the Museum Van Loon , or a little further to Museum Willet-Holthuysen , after which you can wind down with a drink in jolly Rembrandtplein. Best cafés are Schillerand De Kroon.
