History is woven into every brick and beam of Amsterdam (you can’t swing a cat without hitting a masterpiece) but a stone’s throw from every gabled mansion is a post industrial cultural hub, beside every Old Master a cutting-edge design, for every small gezellig bar a boisterous, spirited festival. This book celebrates the places locals love best, from the quirky galleries that showcase the Rembrandts of the future to the brown pubs that have folks lingering until late.

If anywhere seems like a vision from the future it's Copenhagen. Beyond the oft-pictured terraces of Nyhavn, gleaming skyscrapers are made of sustainable, Lego-like blocks, scaled by climbing walls, ski slopes and vertical gardens. New Nordic chefs utilize the local environment by foraging for organic ingredients and locals get around on super fast bike paths. This book serves up a hearty slice of this green haven, from swimming holes to street art.
