Time Out Amsterdam’s up-to-date and independent listings cover every cultural topic, ranging from ballet to burlesque, from haute cuisine to just getting a donut. Read all about it here…
Started by Tony Elliott over 40 years ago, the first issue of Time Out was a folded piece of poster paper, which aimed to bring readers the very best of London’s cultural scene, with independent and honest reviews. Today that single sheet has grown into a global company, bringing refreshing reviews in more than 33 cities worldwide, from Abu Dhabi to Zagreb.
Launched in October 2008, Amsterdam has its own copy of Time Out which appears monthly - and in English. Always irreverent, Time Out’s up-to-date and accurate listings encompass dining, cultural activities, attractions, events, shopping and much more. In fact they have all five senses covered, as everything you would ever want to watch, listen, taste, feel and smell is reviewed. In fact, even if you’re not planning to go anywhere at all, leafing through its pages is a great way to spend a night in.
All Time Out critics live in – and love - Amsterdam so you are getting realistic and accurate insider-info. This helps you navigate the tourist traps and get to grips with the best the city has to offer. With features like “The Hot 25 Restaurants” or “Gay and Lesbian” the content is relevant to both tourists and locals alike, and offers some very useful advice to the uninitiated. There is also a handy five-star rating system for people who like spangles. Of course this is Amsterdam, so the listings include special shop and club reviews, along with comments on the more traditional kinds of café’s and petting zoos.
Faithful to true Dutch thrift, Time Out Amsterdam also helps saves you cash, as anything that is free is clearly marked with red capital letters… For just €2,95 per issue, you certainly can “Get more out of Amsterdam” as promised on the cover.
Time Out Amsterdam is sold at all Amsterdam Tourism offices and at selected newsagents throughout the city. Buy your copy today (or as soon as you arrive).
