What should you do this weekend? 💛

Tap a pin and let fate decide. Sometimes choosing in a city with so much to do feels exhausting, so we got you.

1. Bar hopping
2. Fancy date night
3. Market day
4. Picnic outside
5. Going to the movies
6. Rooftop sunset
7. Games night at home

Pick a number, see what happens. Sometimes the best weekends are the ones you didn’t plan.

Just trying to get to work but first:
rain, wind and a casual boat delay 🚲🌧️🚢

Amsterdam keeps you humble.

Tag the friend who just moved here and is still figuring it out 🔎

Five things I wish someone had told me when I moved to the Netherlands:

1. Learn where the cheap eats are that don’t wreck your budget. Left a few local deals worth knowing here for you.

2. Book your BSN and DigiD appointment the second you land. These slots fill up fast, especially during move-in season, and you cannot get paid, insured or registered without it.

3. Sort your bike properly. A cheap secondhand bike breaks down and you pay for every repair. A Swapfiets costs €0 to get fixed, always.

4. Download the Albert Heijn app before day one. The Bonus card is not a loyalty gimmick, it is a real weekly discount.

5. Find your work and study spot early. Good News has wifi and won’t judge you for camping out.

This is the stuff that takes most people three months to figure out. It should take you a week.

Save it for your first week. Follow Lekker Places for the rest of it, we cover the Netherlands for expats and internationals who actually live here.

Save this for your next ramen craving 🍜😮‍💨

Seven ramen restaurants across Amsterdam that actually get it. From Gifu’s bold broths to Takumi’s consistent quality, Sapporo’s rich tonkotsu to Uki Uki’s flavours, each one brings something different.

Spread across Jordaan, De Pijp, Centrum, De Hallen, Rivierenbuurt. Pick a neighbourhood, pick a restaurant, go.

This is your ramen map💛
