De Nieuwe Anita

You may feel like you've wandered into somebody's living room when you enter De Nieuwe Anita. Decked out in mis-matched home furnishings, chintzy lampshades and comfy armchairs, it's not hard to see why this cosy venue is one of Amsterdam West's most popular and long-standing hotspots.

The wonderful garden and terrace are lovely places to sit and unwind with affordable pancakes, soups or sandwiches.

Molen de Otter

De Otter, built in 1631, is the last remaining sawmill in Amsterdam. Once part of a group of 12, the mill survived several demolitions and economic downturns. After restoration in 1994-1996, the mill became a popular tourist attraction and educational monument.

Radio Radio

Radio Radio, launched in 2018, is a popular club on the iconic Westergas site, which also houses a radio station.

Toekomstmuziek

There was the idea of simply starting somewhere with the hope that a community of both music lovers and musicians would emerge and grow. It is fantastic to see that it has really grown! Music is so important for everyone, emotionally, and being able to see, feel and hear it live is an enriching experience.
