If you’ve ever watched a Wes Anderson film and thought, “I’d love to walk through a place like that!” Amsterdam might be the answer.
Worlds where symmetry is law and colors are carefully orchestrated are brought to life in this city full of spots that feel almost too cinematic to be real.
Here are three spots that caught our eye, plus the Babú we’d wear to step
right into the scene.
RIJKSMUSEUM LIBRARY
Why Wes Anderson? Because it is carefully balanced: high shelves repeating endlessly, spiral staircases and pastel colors. It’s a place where order and beauty coexist.
Babú pairing - Umber Brown Suede: Shoes that belong to a character who lingers over old books effortlessly stylish.
HOTEL DIE PORT VAN CLEVE
This is pure Anderson territory: an old brewery turned hotel, the first European building lit with electricity. History layers over eccentric detail and a bar that looks like it could hide a good story. It feels whimsical, yet calm.
Babú pairing - Gazelle Cavallino: Shoes that could walk both into a refined reception and a bar.
ROYAL CONCERTGEBOUW
Anderson’s films are always associated with music. The Concertgebouw is able to combine perfect acoustics, that transform sound into emotion, and precise architecture that make you feel in a set.
Babú pairing - Noir Black Vernice: A pair that anchors a formal look while keeping it modern.
Anderson shows that style isn’t mere decoration, it’s storytelling. Every frame, every costume, every shade has a purpose. Babú follows the same logic: minimalist design elevated by details, timeless yet playful.
When you wear Babú through Amsterdam, you’re not just walking. You’re moving through a framed scene, each step part of the story.
