Canvas 7 

Situated in an old Newspaper headquarters building, Canvas 7 is located 7 floors above Amsterdam. The hip venue contains a cocktail bar, cafe, restaurant and club. On the lower floors a hotel called the Volkshotel is located.

We highly recommend coming for a drink or to the club. We have not eaten at the restaurant but reviews can be found at this website. Get there early to get a spot on the balcony.

The hotel is industrial in style. The rooms are affordable and individual. The top benefit of being a guest is that you can visit the sauna and hot tubs atop the building. This would be a perfect location for a couple visiting Amsterdam who like something different, creative and away from the main tourist areas.

House of Bols closed for renovation




When in Amsterdam...a trip to the House of Bols is always great. Especially, if you don't drink beer. Bols the legendary spirit and jenever company is closing their Amsterdam visitors centre for refurbishment. From January 5 until 22 2015 the House of Bols attraction will be closed for renovations. Let's hope it doesn't extend the construction like a few of their famous neighbours on Museumplein.
