Wat we doen

Based in Amsterdam, we are the largest and coolest international community in the Netherlands. We’re a social club for Amsterdam expats with an international membership that includes both recently relocated expats and long-term residents. Our doors are open to everyone. Whether you are an expat, a Dutch who's internationally oriented, or simply a traveller passing through, you're all welcome to join our growing multicultural family.

On a weekly basis, we host a range of networking and social events at various locations in the city, where expats and locals can gather to meet interesting people, create valuable connections and foster new friendships. Our events are always conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment.

We meet up regularly to: drink & mingle at various Amsterdam hotspots, explore the city's good food with social dining, watch comedy shows and plays, go clubbing and dancing, watch and play games and sports, go on special trips and rides... and other authentic Amsterdam experiences.

RUN, EXPATS, RUN! – Tuesdays @ Vondelpark

Vondelpark

Every Tuesday evening, join Julia for a fun run in Vondelpark
Everyone is welcome. All you need is a pair of running shoes, and well... maybe Vaseline too (for those of us who chafe easily 😜 )
We'll be doing a 4-5K round in the park.

Do you need an excuse to start running? Let us give you some. Pick a reason below and see you Tuesday 6:30 PM at the entrance of Vondelpark!

Reasons to start running with us:

☻ I want to get fit
☻ I'd like to stay young
☻ I like meeting people
☻ I drank too much last weekend
☻ My Tinder date cancelled on me
☻ I enjoy the sound of heavy breathing
☻ Had a shitty day at work
☻ I make fast runners look good
☻ One way to keep my body warm with these soaring gas prices
☻ Visiting a sauna is too expensive
☻ Between heart surgery & running, I prefer the latter
☻ I have nothing better to do on Tuesday

Good to Know Info:

► There is currently no bag or coat drop available so make sure you only come with your essentials.
► We meet at 18.30 at the entrance of Vondelpark (Opposite Holland Casino). Once you enter, you'll see a group of us waiting at the side.
► We aim to do 4K but depending on your fitness level you're welcome to do a shorter run.
► Everyone in the group has a different fitness level and run at different speeds so it's not possible to keep the group together throughout the run. We will start the run together but feel free to split later and settle down to a pace more comfortable for yourself.

De Prael is a micro brewery situated at one of the oldest parts of Amsterdam, with a history dating back to the 14th century when beer arrived in wooden ships from Germany. A very special brewery that serves not just great beer but also second chances, De Prael doubles as a social enterprise that hires people who face barriers to employment.
