Last year in Amsterdam

by - Tuesday, March 07, 2017


In my last post I touched on the fact I had visited Amsterdam last year for my 25th birthday, so I have decided to share a few photos I took with you all! I loved every minute of this break away, I went away with S for the first time and we both loved it. When people think of Amsterdam they think Marijuana straight away, but Amsterdam has so much more to offer than just getting legally high.

10 things I loved about Amsterdam:
  1. The chilled and friendly atmosphere.
  2. The narrow winding streets lined with unique buildings either side.
  3. The canals running through the main streets.
  4. The local bakery shops, omg the cakes are amazing over there. The Nutella muffins are YUM.
  5. The number of cafés and how welcoming the locals are. 
  6. Lost In Amsterdam (my favourite café).
  7. The Zoo called Natura Artis Magistra - a must see!
  8. The trams make it quick and easy to get around Amsterdam.
  9. The sex museum is a good giggle along with the maaany sex shops.
  10. How pretty it is on a night time as well as during the day.

We stayed for 3 nights during mid February so it was pretty chilly, so if you're going around the same time I would pack plenty of jumpers/hoodies. I'd love to go back to Amsterdam but in the summer season so we could do more outdoorsy things like the canal boat ride and hiring a pushbike for a day, activities that are much more enjoyable in the sun!

Oh and one last thing, make sure you're on time for your transfer back to the airport, we ended up missing our flight by 3 minutes and we had to pay an extra £200+ for another flight 😂, well that's a good story for the kids.

Have you been to Amsterdam? What did you like most?
