We will actually help you find the most photogenic hotspots. That way you can share your greatest shots on your Instagram feed and afterwards fill in your IXXI Mini collage with beautiful shots. We start with hotspot tips in our capital city of Amsterdam. The ideal destination for a day out or a city trip, because there are more than ample places to discover in this lively city. To avoid getting you all stressful about what to choose, we have compiled a nice list of our favourite hotspots.

MaMa kelly restaurant
Life is better in pink! Nope, there was no pink filter used here. The Mama Kelly restaurant is crazy about the colour pink and has expressed this everywhere in its interior décor. This restaurant is hype on Instagram. Really true; all its corners have been photographed already. In addition to the instagrammable interior, the food is also delicious. In short: the place to be!

Hortus Botanicus
Unwind in the wilderness. The Hortus Botanicus plants paradise is the place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This modern botanical garden is a real hit for beautiful photos. Sharing plants photos is in any case hot & happening. And these ambient pictures are perfect to use as interchangeable items in an IXXI Mini.

Wake me up when I'm famous
Meandering through the city is a must. While strolling, you come across the loveliest spots and hidden streets for a perfect photo. And while you’re strolling, walk over to Frans Halsstraat 64 in the popular ‘de Pijp’ quarter. There you will see a graffiti artwork, one that you’ll surely recognise from popular bloggers. Isn’t it nice to shoot a photo yourself of this wall and to share it?

A lovely photo of the characteristic canals, a shot of the hip restaurants or capture the authentic houses. The nine streets are a source of inspiration and the great bonus of this is that in between shooting you have more than ample choices for relaxing in hip joints, such as ‘Pluk’, or to do some shopping in one of the many concept stores. Don’t miss this popular location.

Houses of Seven Countries
OK, we are in Amsterdam, but we’ll side-track a bit to the following countries: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, the Netherlands and England. These are the styles of the houses on Roemer Visscherstraat 32II. Is that a photo? Certainly worth a shot! Which is your favourite?



Right around the corner!
Corner Bakery restaurant comes up with the most beautiful creations. Here you will not be satisfied with just one shot, but an entire photo shoot of your order! You will want to capture every colourful display on your table from just about every angle. The colourful menu and the cheerful wallpaper design ensure that you will have a different décor for every shot. That’s simply great!

And breathe
Perfect for your IXXI Mini collage: the quote ‘and breathe’. The pink neon letters of the Kimpton de Witt Hotel absolutely stand out! This eye-catcher hangs on the side of the building. In addition to the well-known Instagram quote, the hotel itself is worth a visit. The inner courtyard and tiles with their playful patterns guarantee you a beautiful photo.

In the air
Literally in the A’dam tower (A’dam Lookout), where you can actually swing at height. Must be real cool to take a photo of this! Furthermore, you have a beautiful view of the city and the supersonic lift is also an amazing experience.

NDSM werf
There is just so much to discover at this immemorial shipyard. It is the homeport for creative pioneers and curious tourists: therefore you! The site is used by around 400 artists, designers, architects and stage designers. In short: more than enough extraordinary and photogenic objects to be found here. From street-art to impressive buildings, you’ll scarcely take it all in.

So is the trip planned in your organiser? After the experience of a day out or a city trip, provide a place for these lovely moments in your home. Get going with the IXXI Mini and display all your great photos, not only on Instagram but also in your own house.
