14 foods you must try in amsterdam
In no particular order, but just make sure you try them! I’m sure there are a lot more but these are the ones I got the chance to taste: Patatje Oorlog – this literally translates to “war fries”. They are fries topped with mayo, sate peanut sauce, and chopped raw onions. I tried the ones…
13 things i learned in the 5 days i spent in amsterdam
The trams are very convenient. You can pretty much make connections to wherever you need to go. Plus, it’s pretty easy to use. They generally run between 6 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. Depending on how many days you’ll be in Amsterdam and how often you’re planning to use their public transportation, you should definitely consider…
amsterdam’s outdoor markets
If you’re a fatass like me, you will LOVE all of the food markets that Amsterdam has around. You’ll find cheese, meats, cheese, seafood, cheese, fresh produce, and did I mention cheese? If you’re staying at an Airbnb or a place with a kitchen, even better! You’ll get the chance to cook and taste the…
there’s more to amsterdam than weed
SHOCKING, I know. Sure, it’s what Amsterdam is known for. But it’s not for everybody. If you’re not the wake and bake type of person, there are plenty of other activities in this city that you can start/fill your day with! Amsterdam Cheese Museum – (FREE!) – it’s a cheese shop upstairs and a mini…
a bird’s eye view of amsterdam
Arguably, the best place to get such a view (275 feet up in the air, to be exact), would be the Westertoren, which is the bell tower of the Westerkerk. It was built in 1638. You can climb to the top of the tower for 7 euros. A guide will bring you up and stop…
the most popular brewery in amsterdam (hint: it’s not heineken)
Sure, it’s easy to just flock to the Heineken Experience like all the other tourists do, but I’ve heard and read that it kind of sucks. Not going to lie, I still wanted to check it out anyway (you know, for research and beer drinking purposes). But our schedule was just too tight. However, it…
the world’s only floating flower market
You don’t want to miss this! Bloemenmarkt was founded back in 1862. If you’re in the market for some tulips, Holland’s most beloved flower, this is definitely the place to be. They sell more than just tulip bunches though. They’ve got other types of flowers/plants like birds of paradise, bonsai trees, and of course, tulip…
yeh nay ver forget your first time
First, you bend over. Then you take a slurp. No, that’s not a euphemism for anything. It’s actually the proper way to drink a glass of jenever. Pronounced yeh-nay-ver, this drink is a liquor with a strong juniper flavor. It’s what gin was evolved from. Perhaps one of the most popular places in Amsterdam to…

1. Hire a private driver This sounds like it would be really expensive but it’s actually not. For 12 hours and 2 passengers, this cost us $40 USD on Klook. Typically, 12 hours is the max, but you can pay extra per hour for overtime. If you need a car for a shorter amount of…
