Welcome to Urban Nation
The ultimate cross-cultural city guide for young adults visiting Amsterdam!
If you're looking for unique insights into the offerings of the Amsterdam region, then look no further. Urban Nation is here to showcase the city in its entirety and highlight the best and most current offerings that go beyond the city centre.
​
We know that visitors are often greeted with the impression that the city centre is the epicentre of lifestyle, nightlife and culinary sectors, but we want to change that. From trendy street food bars in the Pijp to Turkish BBQ restaurants in Slotermeer, we have got you covered.
But that's not all. Have you ever thought about roller skating under the EYE building or taking outdoor salsa lessons in Oosterpark? Or perhaps visiting a hammam in Staatliedenbuurt or getting a haircut at a barber popular among professional footballers in Ganzenhoef? Urban Nation knows the city like no other and our extensive network in culture and entertainment gives us a unique advantage and invaluable value.
​
Our digital cross-cultural city guide aims to help city explorers make a visit to Amsterdam an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a first-time visitor or an experienced local, our suggestions take you on a journey through the districts, introducing you to the taste-makers, hotspots and experiences that make the districts of Amsterdam so special.
Through our digital platform (app and website), city explorers can visit the city without worries, meet like-minded people, and discover priceless insights and secrets of the city. Our offering is hand-picked and is mainly filled by the offerings of the city districts and the region.
Living in a new city not only provides professional experience but also personal life experience. In fact, a study by the University of Oxford has shown that living in the city makes you healthier and happier. So why not discover a side of the city you never knew and get to know the beat of Amsterdam with Urban Nation?
