We are a digital magazine that explores life in Amsterdam –and beyond– for people who like to dig deeper. 

Amsterdive was born out of the need to make sense of our experiences as foreigners turned locals. It was shaped by our interest in everything creativity, art, and urban culture. We started with personal essays and a cultural agenda focused on smaller initiatives, independent venues, and community-driven events. From the very beginning, we aimed to bridge Dutch culture to the international cultures that populate this melting-pot city.

Living abroad is an opportunity to expand, and we invite you to take it. We are on it too. We are your companion, helping you navigate life in this mad and sweet city. We offer context and uncover possibilities. We talk about what’s on, not necessarily what’s trendy. We like the old-school as much as we like innovation. We speak to you and we invite you to speak: either by adding your two cents in the comment sections, submitting your work, or joining our events. Welcome, friend.
