Nicole & Teesh's picks

We know. Biking in the fall can be challenging – especially in the mostly-not-so-sunny parts of Europe. But rain doesn't always have to spoil the fun. This month it’s about getting out and about in Amsterdam with riders Teesh & Nicole, who have an eye for spotting the city’s hidden gems...

Bi-weekly, the arthouse cinema and bar even hosts a weekly screening, Hyena Scream, which welcomes fresh-faced film lovers to enjoy a movie as loudly as they please. Pretty unique, right? We’re hooked!

ULMUS BAKERY

Sucker for sourdough? Us too. Head to Ulmus in the heart of Amsterdam West for farm-fresh croissants every morning, or for a next level walnut and fig sourdough to go with your Sunday night cheese platter. Looking for something sweet with your coffee? Make sure to try their signature cruffins, but get in there quick: they disappear fast. You’ve been warned.
