THE WORLD’S GREATEST ILLUSION SHOW CANDLES FLICKER …

GHOSTS WANDER ACROSS THE STAGE …

ON THE BALCONY A LADY IN BLACK DISAPPEARS BEHIND A CURTAIN. SOMEWHERE, THERE IS THE EERIE SOUND OF A BABY CRYING. MIST RISES FROM BENEATH THE STAGE. ROYAL THEATRE CARRÉ IS HAUNTED! Famous illusionists from the past are after Hans Klok!

They refuse to accept him into their magic circle and insist on remaining rulers of their inscrutable realm of secrets.

Hans Klok is not afraid of his rivals.

Supported by his mysterious brides, he faces the legendary masters of the past.

Is the deck stacked against him …?

The world’s fastest illusionist, Hans Klok, returns with a brand new spooky show: Hans Klok’s House of Horror, at the Royal Theatre Carré, Amsterdam from August 14 until October 2. This production is a new and spectacular chapter in Hans’ already impressive career. He will be surrounded by international circus acts, dancers and his Divas of Magic.

They will take you to the world of Magic Mysteries – a universe with ghosts, freaks, witches and scary creatures.

Hans enters the House of Horror, residence of the legendary magician Cordoni. With revolutionary projections and special effects the audience is transported to a mystical world where nothing is as it seems.

Hans Klok’s House of Horror tests and exceeds the limits of the illusionist’s

art. In this large-scale family show, horror fans of all ages are regaled with freakish and fantastical creatures such as zombies, witches, trolls and other unearthly creations.

Numerous new illusions showcase a fearless Hans Klok fighting the ghosts of the famous illusionist, who view him as an intruder in their realm, and they will only accept him if he can complete their tests. Hans Klok is not afraid of his rivals. In this thrilling game, Hans is constantly threatened by his murderous pursuers.

The audience – who have a special and active role – will see a completely new Hans Klok in this chilling show.

The programme includes international award-winning circus acts and, of course, the ‘master of magic’ himself. His many shapes and manifestations will haunt you for a long time to come.

Royal Theatre Carré, Amsterdam Amstel 115-125 August 14 until October 2 Booking: www.carre.nl or call 0900 - 25 25 255 (€0.45 p/m) Easy to reach by public transport and car.

Praise for Hans Klok in the press: **** The Mail on Sunday “The time is now for Hans Klok **** The Times “Terrific… believe the hype” **** Evening Standard “Top-rate entertainment” “Breathtaking” **** Metro “A Cirque du Soleil style vaudeville dream” “Klok is the man of the hour” **** Time Out London “Tremendously entertaining” “Spectacular” The Daily Telegraph “A succession of stunts with extra-ordinary speed offers adrenaline-charged showbiz bliss...

I loved every minute of it”

JORDAAN Enjoying authentic Amsterdam in a relaxed way that is what you do in the Jordaan. Inthe past labourers and craftsmen used to live in the crisscross of little streets. Now you get pleasantly lost among the local shops, antiquarian bookshops, galleries and (brown) pubs. This charming working class area is hot!

CITY OF AMSTERDAM Where to begin?

BY DORIEN TER VELD. That’s a good question!

Amsterdam has so much to offer that it is impossible to see everything in a week, let alone in a weekend.

To make things a little easier for you we have divided the city into nine easy-reference areas for you.

In the one area you will mainly find the authentic Amsterdam with its real brown pubs (the Jordaan), in the next area you will find the most important art collections of the Netherlands Museum Quarter, large shops or on the contrary unusual specialist shops Centre, Nine Streets or nature combined with history (the Plantage). For those who want to go out, Amsterdam (Rembrandtplein, Leidseplein) is the place to be. Also modern architecture buffs can indulge themselves here (Eastern Docklands) and those who also want to see Amsterdam’s worldfamous and typical side, now’s your chance (Red light district). SEE MAP ON PAGE 64-65.

You could easily spend a day in each area, but luckily combining the areas is also easy. The areas link up well, public transport will take you everywhere.

Should you be at a loss: Amsterdammers are helpful and practically everyone speaks English. Welkom en veel plezier! (Welcome and enjoy!)

9 STRAATJES Not far behind Dam Square, between the well-known ring of canals, you will find nine small streets full of small specialist shops, bou­tiques and galleries.

The three times three streets are situated neatly side to side and together they are a kilometre long, but make no mistake!

You can easily lose yourself here for a day.

FASHION & MUSEUM DISTRICT (see page 20) There are a number of things you cannot get round in Amsterdam. Culture enthusiasts cannot go home before they have admired a number of masterpieces in Holland’s most important museums with their own eyes.

OLD TOWN Anyone who has been in Amsterdam, will get inevitable questions about the Red Light district. In the Netherlands prostitution is legal. A tour through the Red Light district will certainly be an interesting experience. It can be combined well with a visit to and a good meal in adjacent ‘China Town’.

CITY CENTRE A five-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station, you will get to Dam Square. Here you will find the Palace and the National Monument. The large

dove population and street artists also attract the attention.

From Dam Square you walk straight into the Walhalla for shopping fanatics. The major store chains are all represented here.

REMBRANDTPLEIN Eating, drinking and dancing you do around Rembrandtplein. All year around this is the place to be for dazzling nightlife and in summer the outdoor cafés are crowded. There’s also enough to see and do in the area for people who enjoy the good life.

THE PLANTAGE You don’t feel a lot of enthusiasm for the still life works in the Museum Quarter and you don’t feel like shopping or sight-seeing? With its 19th century architecture the Plantage is a greenand quiet part of Amsterdam where there is plenty to do.

LEIDSEPLEIN Amsterdam’s most famous, largest and most touristic entertainment area. There are countless restaurants with affordable day specials and outdoor cafés that even have heating when the weather is somewhat cold.

Leidseplein is also the epicentre of all kinds of well-known theatres and concert podiums.

THE DOCKLANDS In the past fifty years Amsterdam’s harbour activities have moved to the west of the city.

As a result space to live opened up along the IJ lake. The architecture is striking and interesting, it is the architecture of Amsterdam in the future. ■

Dutch Design

CREATED ON DUTCH SOIL In the twentieth century, Dutch design has evolved. Besides, for instance, architecture and modern dance, design has become another area where the Netherlands excels internationally. As a result, current Dutch graphic design, fashion design, product design, interior design and furniture design are in the spotlight. From the lingerie of Marlies Dekkers, to the costumes of the Harry Potter movies and the interior pieces of Marcel Wanders; they have all been created on Dutch soil.

TYPICAL DUTCH DESIGN Dutch design is characterised by simplicity and clarity. It is often described using terms such as down-to-earthness, sense of humour and perspective and surprising, smart design. These characteristics are the result of creativity in an open, tolerant society. Functionalism has long been the leading ideology behind Dutch design and worked well with the Calvinist attitude of the Dutch. At the start of the twentieth century, the Netherlands became famous by the works of the members of ‘De Stijl’ artistic movement, with artists such as Mondrian and Rietveld. In the nineties, a new artistic trend developed. Functionality of the product no longer came first; the concept behind the design took centre stage. Design became less of an artisanal and more of an artistic discipline. As part of this international trend, the emphasis shifted more towards artistic aspects such as concept and originality and away from production and user requirements. In the process, designers such as Tord Boontje and Viktor & Rolf shift with ease between commercial and artistic considerations. In this sense, Dutch design is at the forefront.

AMSTERDAM From designer shopping to a glamorous fashion week, Amsterdam has a fashionable centre just waiting to be discovered. Amsterdam is a source of inspiration for stylish individuals. Even if your budget prevents you from shopping for exclusive high-end designs, there are plenty of more affordable ways to soak up Amsterdam’s fashionable vibe.

A lot of the Dutch Designers have choosen Amsterdam, in the Fashion & Museum district you will find the Dutch Designers: Fred de la Bretonière, Pauw and The People of the Labyrinths. When you are interested in Haute Couture visit the designers Mart Visser en Frans Molenaar.

You will find other Dutch Designers throughout of Amsterdam like the international well known Designers Viktor & Rolf , Jan Jansen Shoes, Tony Cohen, Sheila de Vries and Marlies Dekkers, young talented designers such as Dennis Diem and Dorhout Mees are also Amsterdambased fashion houses. Dutch brands: G-Star RAW, Claudia Strater, Gaastra, Gsus Industries, Scotch & Soda and Supertrash. ■

The exclusive collections are crafted with care and a keen eye for detail. Most of the Rivièra Maison products are handmade and display minor variations in colour or size. A knot in a tabletop or a tiny bubble in a handblown glass underlines the products’ authenticity. These are characteristic features of the re-used materials, most of which are completely natural. The same applies to rattan, which is subjected to a natural colouring process that means the weave will never be identical. That makes every product unique; we call it Perfectly Imperfect.

Rivièra Maison achieves exclusivity by designing the entire collection – over 3000 products – themselves. Each product is unique, created as an original handcrafted piece produced in studios all over the world.

The Rivièra Maison collections are simultaneously country-style and modern, giving you a warm sense of home in any situation.

Opposites do not attract. They blend together, in clothing and often in the life of every woman.

The colours merge into one another and, in apparent contrast, the textures look and feel like one.

Rarefied, faded and dusty hues are chosen: interrupting the harmonic sequence through a cascade of optical white, handsful of natural shades and a sparkle of deep yellow that warms up and illuminates the palette.

AMSTERDAM: CITY OF CULTURE FINE ART & ANTIQUES Amsterdam offers a diverse array of world-class entertainment, as for centuries has been one of the leading centres of culture in Europe. High-quality culture spread across 65 theatres and concert halls, 42 museums and over 140 galleries. The multitude of theatres, galleries, museums and concert venues put Amsterdam at the very heart of arts and culture in the Netherlands.

EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS (SEE ALSO PAGE 36) Exhibitions and cultural events are being organised in the va-rious towns and villages in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and England that are of importance for the life and work of the artist. For the first time, museums like Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo and institutions that actively contribute to conser-ving Van Gogh’s heritage are working together on a large scale.

The Kröller-Müller Museum is a second home to Vincent van Gogh. The museum boasts almost 90 paintings and more than 180 drawings, making it the second largest collection of Van Goghs in the world. In addition, the Museum is home to top works by modern masters including Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Pablo Picasso and Piet Mondriaan.

MUSEUMS Throughout the centuries, the Dutch gave the world most famous painters as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh, who until today provoke our admiration. This tradition continued in the 20th Century with Mondrian and later with the Cobra group abstract artists. Amsterdam art museums have not only unparalleled collection of the most famous, but also many lesser known amazing Dutch masters of all epochs. The State Museum called in Dutch Rijksmuseum, and a wonderful collection of modern art from Europe and America at The City Museum called in Dutch Stedelijk Museum are a must to visit. The principal collection of the world’s beloved painter at the Van Gogh Museum and a rich division of the Russian Hermitage Museum are also not to be mis-

ART GALLERIES Even if you’re not planning to expand your personal art collection, a visit to one of Amsterdam’s many art galleries is a great way to spend an afternoon. Discover what’s new in the Dutch and international art scene! At the corner of Weteringschans and Spiegelgracht you will see the well-known Diamond House Lazare Diamonds on the right in the Museum Plaza building; on the lefthand corner there is Reflex Modern Art Gallery which sells contemporary art.

ART/ANTIQUES STORES Spiegelkwartier: Nieuwe Spiegelstraat runs between the world-famous Rijksmuseum and Keizersgracht, its history goes back as far as the 17th century. In and around this street with its many characteristic Amsterdam facades more than 70 art and antique dealers have set up business. These specialists offer a wide range of objects, ranging from Egyptian antiquities which are 6,000 years old to seventeenth-century Delft ware, from antique Chinese porcelain to abstract modern art. You name it, it is for sale in the Spiegelkwartier. This makes the Spiegelkwartier a must-see quarter for those with an eye for the unique, rare and beautiful. ›

sed, even if you are in the Dutch capital for a brief visit.

SPIEGELKWARTIER If you collect antiques or modern art, the Spiegelkwartier is the place to go. Just across the bridge opposite the Rijksmuseum you will find this historical neighbourhood with its typical old Dutch houses. This area had been the heart of the national art and antiques trade for the past eighty years and has a friendly relaxed atmosphere. There are few places in the world where you will find such a stunning choice of art and antiques.

Over seventy specialised art and antique dealers offer a wide variety of objects, ranging from archeological finds to 17th century furniture, glass and Dutch Delftware, from oriental art to Art Nouveau, from tribal art to contemporary art, from old medical instruments and clocks to jewellery and, last but not at least paintings from the COBRA period or finished yesterday.

In the Spiegelkwartier you can have a drink or a bite to eat on almost every street corner. A fun way to get to the Spiegelkwartier and the nearby Rijksmuseum, is with the CANAL-BUS. Today one finds fine art and antiques dealers in almost every house in the Nieuwe Spiegelstraat and on the Spiegelgracht. This is the result of a historical development of almost 120 years. Without the building of the renown Rijksmuseum the neighborhood would surely have looked very different. Before the Rijksmuseum was built (1877/1885) there used to be a large windmill on that spot. The existing small business like watchmakers, carpenters, furniture repair shops etc, slowly changed into art and antique dealers.

According to old address books the first antique dealer started in 1900 in de Kerkstraat nr 219. In 1910 there are already seven antique shops mentioned.

After the war the number of galleries and shops really extended. If one looks at the objects bought by the Rijksmuseum in the Spiegelkwartier one notices that it mainly concerns objects like furniture, glass, textile and earthenware. This is not surprising since the shops were specialized in these antiquities. The proof of a historically grown connection with the Rijksmuseum is

the exhibition in 1985 of a selection of objects bought in the Spiegelkwartier. The first acquisition dates back to 1914 but the museum still buys from dealers in the Spiegelkwartier.

A visit to the Spiegelkwartier is easy to combine with a visit to one of many museums in the area. At walking distance you will find the Rijksmuseum, Vincent van Gogh Museum and the Allard Pierson museum.

till – 30 September 2016, Free Entrance In 2016 we celebrate 100 years of the Amsterdam School!

The Amsterdam School rank among the highpoints of Dutch architecture.

Architectuurcentrum Amsterdam presents ten distinctive projects recently completed in Amsterdam that reveal visible affinities with the Amsterdam School.

till18 September 2016 A selection of some fifty etchings in the museum’s collection will give visitors insight into the artistic and technical aspects of Rembrandt’s printmaking.

Rembrandt is one of the greatest graphic talents of all time. A passionate etcher who left an extensive oeuvre of around three hundred prints, he was admired by his contemporaries for his free drawing manner, his dramatic chiaroscuro and his bold experiments in etching technique. His prints have been a source of inspiration for countless artists, among them luminaries like Goya and Picasso, and still are today. Generations of artists have borrowed motifs and compositions from Rembrandt’s prints.

We are seeing a revaluation of the design choices of the Amsterdam School architects with elements such as brick and ornament, the expressive facade and the housing block.

With photos, architectural models and stories by Dutch architects we demonstrate that the Amsterdam School is still very much alive!

The return of Jakop Ahlbom’s award-winning play Lebensraum Language no problem!

24 - 27 August in DeLaMar Theater!

After travelling around the world for 3 years,the awardwinning show Lebensraum (Habitat) returns to Amsterdam. Jakop Ahlbom once again brings the magic of silent movies to the stage, with the help of the band Alamo Race Track. Lebensraum is inspired by the work of actor and filmmaker Buster Keaton, a pioneer of slapstick and physical comedy.

The international press on Lebensraum: Dig Boston/USA: `Lebensraum: Pure physical comedy, pure fuckin’fun’ Boston Globe/USA: `Lebensraum challenges and inspires audience’ El Pais/ SP: ‘ Pantomima genial’ Volkskrant ‘Jakop Ahlbom, Reinier Schimmel and Silke Hundertmark are ingenious conjurers in this piece of living-room slapstick that draws on movements and timing from the silent movie era.’ **** De Telegraaf ‘Lebensraum is surreal physical theatre with a hint of magic.’ **** Observer/UK: `Excellent! Hundertmark is extraordinary’ Libération/FR: `Le spectacle Lebensraum a fait l’effet d’une bombe’

Two men are living together in a single tiny room. They have ingenuously solved the problem of lack of space. All the furniture has multiple functions: the bed doubles as a piano and the bookcase serves as a fridge. And to compensate for the absence of a woman, the pair create a mechanical cleaning lady. But it soon becomes clear that she has no intention of quietly going about her chores.

This doll has opinions of her own. Tensions mount, and the room starts getting smaller and smaller. The men’s latest invention may be their downfall.

A dark remake of an iconic Fairytale Swan Lake Language no problem!

21 till 30 June in Theater de Meervaart!

With eight dancers, a live band, animal heads and knife throwers, it’s fair to say that Jakop Ahlbom bends the world-famous fairy tale entirely to his will. The characters in Swan Lake discover their darker sides, manipulative tendencies, jealousy and vengefulness, as well as the truth that love doesn’t conquer all. Alamo Race Track transform the original music by Tchaikovsky into their own characteristic style with influences from indie, folk and pop. The band will also compose new music for the production and will be performing live on stage every night.

SWAN LAKE is the first dance performance by Jakop Ahlbom in collaboration with ICK under the directorship of Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten.

Jakop Ahlbom Over the past decade, Ahlbom developed a specific style of his own, mixing theatre, mime, dance and illusionism into a unique theatrical language. Ahlbom toured extensively abroad, both in Europe and in the US, with award-winning performances such as VIELFALT, LEBENSRAUM and HORROR. He directed the opera HOFFMANN with Deutsche Oper Berlin, Franz Kafka’s DER PROZESS for Staatstheater Mainz and choreographed the dance film award-winning OFF GROUND. ICK Amsterdam ICK is a celebrated platform for dance under the directorship of Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten. Their work has a unique way of bridging the distinction between abstract and narrative dance, to which the intuitively moving body is always central. The ensemble has received numerous prestigious (international) prizes and has been touring the world for the last twenty years.

14 TILL 25 SEPTEMBER 2016 As a tribute to Toer van Schayk, who will be 80 in September, Dutch National Ballet is presenting masterpieces from the repertoire of the Dutch Masters: the three ‘Vans’ In 1971, Rudi van Dantzig, who was then artistic director of Dutch National Ballet, commissioned dancer Toer van Schayk to choreograph his first work. One year later, Hans van Manen, who had been with Nederlands Dans Theater up to then, also created his first work for the company.

Together, they put Dutch National Ballet on the world map in the seventies and eighties, and laid the foundations for what soon became known internationally as the ‘Dutch School’. At the same time, Toer van Schayk grew to become one of the leading set and costume designers of the Netherlands.

17 TILL 20, 30, 31 AUGUST TILL 2 SEPTEMBER Director Simon Stone mixes the tragedy by Euripides with the true story of Debora Green, a child murderess in the United States in the 1990s. The result is captivating. From beneath the surface of a story picked from a newspaper, the elusive core of the old myth emerges. Medea will be surtitled in English at the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam 17 till 20 August and 30 August till 2 September.

In Stone’s version, Medea has become Anna, a successful physician who is trying to get her life back together after years of involuntary commitment. But her ex-husband has different plans. Anna is in danger of losing everything. Not just her job, but also her children. Driven into a corner, she sees only one way out.

23 - 27 AUGUST ‘A frail, gorgeous monologue – Smits is splendid – wryly charismatic, brimming with confusion and long-suppressed feeling.’ – Time Out **** The internationally acclaimed playwright Simon Stephens wrote Song from Far Away especially for actor Eelco Smits.

The monologue was directed

by Ivo van Hove at the Mostra International de Teatro in São Paulo in March 2015, followed by a long series of performances in Amsterdam and a tour of the Netherlands. Smits also played three weeks of sold-out performances in English at Young Vic (London). In August Song from Far Away will be back at the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam, surtitled in English.

It has the same ecstasy and euphoria set in the current zeitgeist.

Cirque Éloize’s iD is a brilliantly balanced mix of acrobatics, urban dance and high-tech video projections. An adrenaline rush with a twist of West Side Story-like ‘boy meets girl’ street romance. Breath taking, beautiful and simply poetic.

This theater has made history of visits from many famous world circuses. A unique chance for all ages. The show has no language barrier and is suitable for tourists of all nationalities. .

your taste is...

FOOD, DRINKS & NIGHTLIFE

RESTAURANTS | CAFÉS As one might expect from a cosmopolitan city, Amsterdam not only offers the possibility of enjoying classical French cuisine, but since a few decades the city has also abounded in - sometimes surprisingly good - Greek, Italian, Moroccan, Turkish, Chinese, Korean and even Nepalese and Ethiopian restaurants.

This fact has caused the extensive, daily public market in Albert Cuypstraat to adapt its range to the purchasing requirements of these restau­rants. For a quick cheap lunchtime bite try the sandwich shops, the chips stands or herring stalls.

Eating maatjes (‘mates’) herring is quite possibly the only important culinary tradition of our otherwise in this respect poorly endowed country.

Amsterdam is also a city with many bars and cafés, some 1,500 in all. Each of the areas mentioned below has something to offer, from friendly and relaxed brown cafés, stylish grand cafés to crowded designer bars. The cafés and bars vary greatly and have their own special attraction: a wide range of beers, jenever (Dutch gin), live music, canal-side terraces, board games, pool tables or just good old fun.

BARS | LIVE MUSIC Amsterdam has some great small bars where you enter for free and or a small fee to listen to live music. Singer-songwriters, jazz, pop, folk or even classical music. You just have to know where to go.

COCKTAILS | DINNER The Venice of the North, Amsterdam’s attractions are considerable. Besides the famed red-light areas where window-shopping takes on a whole new meaning and the coffee bars that are more popular for their other wares, Amsterdam is also home to hundreds of great bars and clubs: style bars, cocktail bars, bistros, restaurants and casinos, and the famous brown cafes where you can linger long over a beer and watch the people of Amsterdam go about their business. Once you’ve visited the museum quarter and taken a tour of the canals, you can hit the town. A night out in the many bars of Leidseplein or Rembrandtplein should see you into the small hours.

JORDAAN The most easy-going area of the city hosts a great number of outstanding restaurants and bars, from classical French cuisine, Thai food to Tapas bars.

Something can be found to everyone’s taste.

REMBRANDTPLEIN Observed by the cast-iron statue of Amsterdam’s most famous painter lies Rembrandtplein.

This place is bustling with places to eat and drink. Some of the most beautiful grand cafés are located here, like Schiller withits marvellous art deco interior.

UTRECHTSESTRAAT AREA This narrow street has a special atmosphere and is known for its gift shops and international restaurants. Before dining, you can unwind with a drink on a terrace on Rembrandtplein.

REGULIERSDWARSSTRAAT As far as gay nightlife is concerned, without a doubt, the Reguliersdwarsstraat is the hippest street in town. However, some of the best restaurants are located here.

LEIDSEPLEIN Leidseplein is Amsterdam’s centre of entertainment, with its many bars, nightclubs, theatres, music halls and hotels. Of course there are many different types of restaurants here.

DINNER | CLUBS Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to groove. In Amsterdam you can party all night long, nearly every night of the week! Have a look at the listings below - whether you’re into techno, drum & bass, top 40, hip-hop or anything in between, you’ll find a club to match your mood. ■

Located in four 17th century buildings within the historic NH Barbizon Palace, Restaurant Vermeer is bursting with history and character.

The two Michelin star restaurant is seated on the first floor. Moshik translates his emotions and inspiration, gained at his journeys around the world, into culinary creations. Spectacular in the design is the use of glass: guests have a view over the oldest part of Amsterdam and they can look straight into the kitchen to fully experience Moshik his world.

“Using the magic of food to transform lives” At Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen we train our apprentices to become the professional chefs of the future. Come by for an amazing dinner.

Restaurant Vermeer offers a superb dining experience that has ensured the elite of the Dutch capital return again and again.

Head Chef Christopher Naylor has created a menu that has delighted critics and led to the restaurant being awarded a Michelin star.

Stylish and graceful, the restaurant would have appealed to its namesake, Johannes Vermeer, who, much like the restaurant, was well known for his skill and precision in his craft.

At &samhoud places you’ll have a special companion: children in SOS Children’s Villages eat along with the restaurant guests. With our donation approximately 100,000 meals can be handed out to children in SOS Children’s Villages. We call this initiative ‘eat and share’.

Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen is established in an old warehouse with great atmosphere. In 2015 we celebrate our tenth anniversary.

You will find 15 motivated apprentices in our kitchen who get the chance to change their life forever. On our menu you will find local, sustainably produced ingredients of the highest quality.

Restaurant Blauw AMSTELVEENSEWEG 158-160 020 - 675 50 00 WWW.RESTAURANTBLAUW.NL/EN We invite you to enjoy the enormous diversity of the Indonesian kitchen in a warm, modern setting.

In our restaurants in Utrecht and Amsterdam we use pure ingredients to serve you tradition, with a range of flavors and preparation methods, but always with our own touch.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ESSENTIAL INFORMATION AND USEFUL TIPS Amsterdam has so much to offer. There are the canals, full of character in every kind of weather.

You can take a canal cruise boat and view the seventeenth century houses from the water, or just take a walk. Then there are the museums. Amsterdam is the place to be for Rembrandts, Van Goghs and modern art. The theatres present shows mainly in Dutch off course, but opera and ballet are universal languages. The Spiegelkwartier and P.C. Hooftstraat are rich shopping grounds for fashion, jewellery and antiques. When it comes to food and drink, Amsterdam offers the wide range you would expect of a big city: from little fast food stalls to Michelin-star gourmet restaurants and bars and nightclubs in all sorts and sizes. Whatever your liking, Amsterdam is an exciting city for everyone.

We give you some handy facts, figures and customs to make you enjoy your stay even more.

LANGUAGE Just about everyone speaks English in Amsterdam. Many people speak German and French too but not as well. A common misconception is that Dutch is similar to German. In truth they are not: Dutch people have to learn German at school, and they generally speak better English than German.

The German and Dutch languages are similar in the way that French and Italian are.

WEATHER Typically, Dutch weather ranges from slight freezing in the dead of winter, usually with little snow, to pleasantly sunny days of 20 to 30ºC in the summer. Spring and autumn are pleasant.

TIME Amsterdam time is one hour ahead of GMT; when daylight saving time is in operation the sun is at its highest point at around 1.40pm (which makes for long evenings: since Amsterdam is very far West in its time zone, a midsummer sky can be light as late as 11 o’clock in the evening). Amsterdam is a late city: many shops don’t open until 10am and bars and cafés stay open till 2am and some even longer.

ELECTRICITY The electricity voltage in the Netherlands was 220 volts, and then moved up at a rate of 1 volt per year to the European standard of 230 volts.

TELEPHONING When dialling from abroad, prefix any number you find in this site with +31 (for Holland) and the area code (Except the 0). For example, if you find a number (020) 123 45 67, from abroad you dial 0 20 123 45 67.

MONEY There are several different outlets where you can change money in Amsterdam. The best rates are usually offered by the Various GWK offices. Changing money at your hotel is normally more expensive.

CREDIT CARDS Credit cards are not as widely accepted here as in many other countries yet, but the situation is improving steadily. Always inquire first if you intend to pay by credit card. You can use Cirrus and Maestro cards to withdraw cash from cash dispensers.
