I regularly receive emails from readers asking me for suggestions where to go and what to do in Amsterdam. For all of you visiting Amsterdam , The Netherlands, I have created a Amsterdam Design Guide with all the best tips for (design) hotels, great restaurants, where to go for your design shopping, the best museums, places of interest etc.

It took me a bit longer than expected to finish this guide, due to the fact that I have been very busy and also because I wanted to make sure that I had included ALL the interesting places for you to visit. You can find the Amsterdam Design Guide here. I hope you’ll enjoy it! The guide will be updated from time to time. Please email me if you have any suggestions that should be included in the list. Thanks!
{You can find more great Amsterdam shops & stops in the Amsterdam category.}

Bedankt voor dit handig overzicht. Als ervaren Amsterdam-ganger kende ik 90% al. Maar met een nieuwe woning in het vooruitzicht vind ik het super handig alle adressen op een rijtje te hebben.
Dank voor je dagelijkse inspiratie via je blog en nu dit onmisbare overzicht.

The guide looks great, Danielle, and makes me nostalgic to go back to all the great places in Amsterdam (and check out the ones I missed!). . . My friend Felice and I just created a Baltimore Design*Guide for Design Sponge if you ever find yourself in this neck of the woods!

Hello, Although I really enjoy your site and have used your Amsterdam guide on different trips to Amsterdam. This last trip I reserved a table at the restuarant Envy. After a busy day around the city we where confused that we where unable to find the restaurant at Prinsengracht 38? Arriving back at the hotel some 50 Km from Amsterdam I checked Envy’s web site to see that that in your guide there is missing a number 1 after the numbers 38. I wrote you to inform you how disappointed we where not to have finished our otherwise great day with a nice dinner at Envy. The Guide is still
incorrect, please keep the guide
reliable as we found it very complete.
Thanks!

Thank Gerry for letting me know! I have corrected the address in the guide. I am sorry to hear that you missed dinner at Envy because of this!

we’re coming to amsterdam in a few days and i just found your site. it is excellent! we have a design studio in the u.s. and i have only a few short days to grab some inspiration on our travels. your amsterdam design guide looks great but the pdf does not translate on my system. do you have another acess to the document?
thanks for your great work!

I found a website to design your home together with installing shutters against the sun named http://www.sunshutters.nl. Does anyone know if this is nearby Amsterdam? I really like those thinks!
