The Weekend Edit: Amsterdam

If you're staying at the stylish TRIBE Amsterdam City near the Noord metro station, you're perfectly positioned to explore Amsterdam's dynamic and creative northern district.

Begin your day at IJ-Hallen, Europe's biggest flea market in the NDSM Wharf area. Held monthly, this treasure trove of a market offers a vast array of vintage clothing, antiques, and unique finds.

Next, immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant art scene at STRAAT Museum. Housed in a former shipyard, this museum showcases over 150 pieces of street art and graffiti from international artists, celebrating urban creativity.

For a different artistic experience, visit the Nxt Museum, which is dedicated to new media art, and glimpse the future of art via immersive installations that blend technology and creativity.

Amsterdam Noord boasts a variety of dining options. If you’re a wine enthusiast, try Chateau Amsterdam for inventive wines paired with Italian cuisine. For great Mexican food, head to Bacalar, a garage-turned-taqueria serving authentic dishes like tacos and ceviche, accompanied by an extensive mezcal selection. Or there’s Taverno, which serves natural wines and hearty dishes cooked over an open fire, with live music on weekends.

After dinner, head to Garage Noord, a former car repair shop turned nightclub which plays an eclectic mix of music to a lively crowd from Thursday to Saturday.

Conclude your weekend with a relaxing walk along the IJ-Promenade, a waterfront path offering stunning views of the river and the city’s skyline. It's the perfect spot to for one last leisurely stroll before you head home.
