Amsterdam caters to everyone’s taste and HUT apartments are surrounded by an array of restaurants. Head downstairs into Ashoka’s Spuistraat location and treat yourself to some wonderful Indian delicacies. Enjoy the best cuts of meat at Cannibale Royale or visit Nam-Kee for a fusion-style meal.

Even a busy professional needs time to relax. Amsterdam offers infinite possibilities to take a break from the buzz of the city. Play a game of air hockey or pinball at the Ton Ton Club, watch a movie at one of Amsterdam’s many cinemas, or relax at Pllek beach bar. These are just some of the many options.

Whatever your beverage of choice is, Amsterdam offers the perfect venue. For great cocktail bars check out Hidden in Plain Sight and Tales & Spirits. Those seeking trendy surroundings can opt for bars like the artsy Het Schuim. Bar Jones and The Hoxton offer a chic, but local experience. Free spirits can soak up the eclectic, colourful surroundings of places like Hanneke’s Boom.

Alongside career-building, HUT members know how to have fun. And there’s plenty options to choose from, with something happening every day in this vibrant city. Iconic events like the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) or Amsterdam Pride attract many international visitors. Museum Night on the first Saturday of November has museums opening their doors late into the night. If that isn’t enough, the entire city becomes one big (orange) party during the celebration of King’s Day in April.

Shop in Amsterdam like you have always lived here and be surprised by how quickly you discover your new favourite spots. Pick up some stylish clothes at Comme de Garcons, scan the range of sneakers at a famous streetwear store like Patta, or find jeans with the perfect fit at the Denham Jeanmaker store. Design and fashion fans will also find inspiration at venues like the W Hotel’s X bank. Alternatively, spend some time wandering through the stalls of the Noordermarkt, or any of Amsterdam’s other famous markets.
