The heat is here, and it’s not letting up. July in Amsterdam means high UV, higher hemlines, and that sticky-sweet stretch of summer where everything slows down. It’s the month of dips before deadlines, long naps after longer nights, and the golden-hour decision to go somewhere (even if you don’t know where yet).
That’s where we come in. The Aa Cheat Sheet is your pocket guide to the best of what’s happening: the openings, the screenings, the parties, the events that feel like they were made for you. Think of it as a nudge: for what to do after a swim, after a siesta, or after you’ve just survived another peak-sun-hour walk through the city (you go, Amsterdam, with your exorbitant UV index).
This month’s line-up is promising beautiful evenings, dancing, and maybe a little seasonal self-reinvention. We gathered the things we’re actually excited about and sorted them so you don’t have to.
As always, scroll for the full guide, and keep an eye on our feed on Mondays for the weekly PSA.
See you out there.
