AMSTERDAM Insider Tipps 🌷

I don't always want to be a tourist. All these tourists paying so much for tourist attractions. Sometimes I choose these attractions as well but sometimes there are things which locals do and which might be better to get a real impression of the city.

Let's talk about Amsterdam ..

I visited Amsterdam with my family and we've decided to buy a GVB-Ticket. This is the normal ticket for taking the bus, tramp, underground, whatever. You can get it for 24 hours, for 48,... For us this was way better than a ticket for the touri busses where you might get information about some spots but when you just sit down in a tramp, you'll get a citytour as well and you explore Amsterdam like locals do. (okay obviously locals do not explore their own city but you know what I mean, right? ;))

Beside the touri busses there are also the canals which are typical for Amsterdam. It can be really nice to see the town out of a boat but it was kind of expensive and so full!!! Tourists everywhere!! So if you still want to get boat feelings (and also when not:) go on the north exit of the maintrainstation. There are GVB-Boats which take you on their 2 minute trip to North Amsterdam. Boat vibes, here they are. Aaand it's for free! And you can walk around North-Amsterdam. And when you're there: you should definetely go in the Amsterdam Tower! Look at the top! There you can casually swing over the egde of the skyscraper. Adrenaline pure...

       

Important thing which we should not forget about: the fooood. For sure there are 1948582048 restaurants and cafés which you definetely can check out but where you'll also find great food is in a 'Albert Heijn'. It's a supermarket which is every 20 meters :D and if you find a 'Albert Heijn to go': perfect! The name speaks for itself: you can get here sushi, salad, fruits, donuts, whatever for to go!

So I hope my post was helpful!

I really like Amsterdam and a visit definetely worths it!
