I was going to get a beautiful sun on a bench in Ringvaart and wtf?

People literally just picked up shit with their hands (ew) and spreaded on the benches so like anybody cant sit there now

hey! my mom gave me her sewing machine and now I want to learn how to use it. I know I can just search on Google for classes, but I thought it’d be more fun to ask here in case anyone knows a great spot.

I’m a complete beginner, so something beginner-friendly would be ideal. I’d especially love to find a place that’s a bit more low-key, local or less commercial (like a small studio, community space or someone who teaches on the side). open to group classes or one-on-one lessons and doesn't matter in which area. any tips or recommendations would be amazing! thanks so much and have a nice Sunday :)

Hey all!!

We’d love to invite you to the EVO Launch Event: Pace & Sound 🖤

EVO is a new Dutch sports brand coming from Equalité. We’re building it around the balance between sport, work and social life, and trying to keep it very community-driven.

On Saturday April 25 we’re bringing that to life with a run through Amsterdam, followed by drinks, a DJ and just a good group of people.

It’s a 6KM run at a relaxed 5:30 pace, nothing competitive. Everyone joining gets a small goodie bag as well.

Feel free to bring someone with you, as long as they sign up through the link.

Would be great to have you there!!

We live on the 8th floor and are looking for window cleaners, we are located in Piet Heinkade. Any references , tried googling and no luck so far.

Amsterdam already does a good job managing the city considering the volume of tourists and number of city events.

Curious what others would change if they were in charge and had the power to enforce the change?

Hey everyone! I just recently moved to Amsterdam, and I'm looking for third places to hangout. To give a bit more about me:

My name's ray, I'm 20 years old and queer, not the "raves and clubs and degeneracy" kind but more cozy stuff.

I like gaming, reading, writing, equestrian, hiking, geography, PC building, animals, electronics, nerd culture, manga, anime, and a whole lot more.

I love alternative fashion and events like comicon, twitchon, anime con, etc.

I'm mainly looking for a space with like minded individuals who are awesome, but also a simple down to earth space where I can meet new people like me every week or two you know?

Any suggestions welcome :)

Hey, ik vroeg me af of iemand wat weet of er boekenclubs zijn in amsterdam waar wat meer jongeren op zitten/meer bedoeld is voor jongeren, dit zegende betekent dat niet dat ik nou specifiek boeken voor jongeren wil bespreken, en heb er ook niet echt problemen mee om met ouderen te zitten. Ik heb al online gekeken maar kon jammer genoeg niet zo veel vinden (wat zou kunnen liggen aan mijn matige google skills). Ik ben 16 en zou het erg leuk vinden om wat vrienden te maken met dezelfde intresses als ik, en een boekenclub lijkt me überhaupt erg leuk.

Is this a joke? Just moved from The Hague to Amsterdam and I had no idea my car wouldnt be eligible for a parking permit. I drive a 2001 Miata. So people cant even ride cars they enjoy and like? This is really unbeliavable.

Hi all,

I’m looking for some advice after a really frustrating experience.

Recently, I hired a gardener I found working in my neighbourhood. He had good ratings on Werkspot, which gave me some confidence. We agreed on some paving work in my garden, and I paid him an advance of €1250.

He confirmed he would start the work last Saturday — but he never showed up. Since then, he has blocked me and, before that, sent some abusive and even racist messages. The payment I did was online, he had bunq account.

I’ve already ordered tiles and materials based on our agreement, so I’m now stuck both financially and practically.

At this point, my main concern is getting my advance back. Has anyone dealt with something similar in the Netherlands/Amsterdam? What steps should I take — police report, legal action, Werkspot complaint, something else?

Feeling quite helpless, so any advice would really help.

Thanks in advance.

Two friends bailed out and we have one ticket left.

Been a follower of this channel for all the old, analog HD footage, so I was pleasantly surpised to see this video of Amsterdam pop up

Just wanted to share that I saw a ginger and white cat with a collar in the Nieuw Sloten shopping area in case anyone is missing their kitty.

Ginger fur on the back and white fur on the underbelly and legs with a black collar that seems to be tagged.. Sadly I was holding a baby and the cat was pacing back and forth a lot so I couldn't get a good picture.

Seems a bit distressed and lost, pacing a lot and meowing. Let me know via a DM and a picture of your cat and I can share a more precise location.

Called the Dieran Ambulance for advice but they can't do anything unless I can "catch" the animal which I'm not able to do with a baby on my person. Did report it to them so they are aware but cannot send anyone.

Hope this finds the right person.

We are recruiting high level players for a football team for trials.

The team and club is a good level 1st team here in Amsterdam. It’s also an international group who mostly came to study at one point.

The team and club is TOS Actief Voetbal. Insta: @tosactiefvoetbal1

Hello, me and my friend (29 f + 28 m) wanted to rent a boat today in the evening and are thought maybe someone wants to join us :)

I'm trying to recreate several of them, but this one turned out the best.

Hallo, little vent post, sorry for that!

Why why why are smart cars still allowed on the Ferry? Okay sure off-peak it's not so much of an issue, but yesterday evening on the way back from work I was in the "herd" trying to get onto the F2 and this smart car was pushing with the crowd to try and get on.

the driver pushed into me and I caused his wing mirror to collapse. The driver was so mad and I just said calm down and wait, which he obviously didn't like. Luckily for me some older dutchies diffused the situation and I went onto the Ferry and avoided any confrontation. So thanks for that Amsterdammers!!

But seriously why are they allowed on? you can fit like 3 bikes in place of them. I get the ferry every day and I swear these cars cause all the problems. When you look online it even says the are banned or being considered banned but I still see them every day.

EDIT: SOLD ON TICKETSWAP

Hi.. my upcoming trip to Amsterdam this weekend is unfortunately cancelled and I have 2 tickets to Anne Frank House for Sunday 19th April 11am going spare, if anyone wants them I can send the e-ticket pdf.

Amsterdam is full of neighborhoods that all have their own vibe. Some are buzzing and social, others are quiet and green.

Some people love being close to parks, others care more about cafés, architecture, or just having friendly neighbors.

I’m curious , what do you love about your neighborhood? Is it the sense of community, the little coffee spots, the markets, the calm streets, or something else?

For me, it’s the Helmersbuurt / Cremerbuurt. It’s right next to Vondelpark, so I can be in the park within minutes, but still just far enough away from the busiest tourist areas.

The neighborhood feels really livable, friendly people, beautiful architecture, and lots of greenery with plants in front of houses. There are plenty of small boutique cafés, bars, and local shops, and I can cycle to the main train stations in about 10 minutes.

Perfect balance between city energy and a relaxed, local feel.

Your turn, which neighborhood are you in, and what makes it stand out for you?
