CHURCHHIDDEN COURTYARDBegijnhof
A walled medieval courtyard in the middle of the old centre, home to single women for more than 600 years. Step through the gate on the Begijnensteeg and the city noise drops away.
TINY MUSEUMPianola Museum
A small museum in the Jordaan full of pianos that play themselves. Every opening afternoon a guide sets the instruments going, so you hear the 1920s instead of only looking at them.
FILM SPOTThe Fault in Our Stars bench
The bench on the Leidsegracht where Hazel and Augustus sit in The Fault in Our Stars (2014). Fans of the film still come from all over the world for a photo.
TASTEBrouwerij 't IJ
Amsterdam's best-known craft brewery pours its beer in an old bathhouse at the foot of De Gooyer, the tall wooden windmill on the Funenkade.
HIDDEN COURTYARDSint-Andrieshofje
Behind a plain door on the Egelantiersgracht, a passage lined with blue Delft tiles leads into one of Amsterdam's oldest almshouse courtyards. Only the Begijnhof is older.
