Canals of Amsterdam Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Church of Our Lady
Beautiful Catholic church built in gothic architectural style. The tranquility in such a busy city, the beauty of the building and the images, the charisma of the churchgoers indeed a very beautiful church and even more inside. I really liked the columns, the vault, the altar and the windows.
Good spirituality Constructive contribution to your inner development. This is possible here through the sacraments of communion and confession. There is also regular Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, also known as Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

#celebratewithtrip
There are more than 160 canals in Amsterdam stretching over 100 kilometers (that’s around 60 miles). I Love Amsterdam! Lovely time walking around the canals. The typical Amsterdam canal houses that are so pretty! Distinctive, worth a city walk, to experience the beauty of the canal.So many great views from so many streets.

sunset boat cruise in Amsterdam canals
This is a must do if you are in the city, the streets are too crowded with tourists and noisy. You want to getaway from the noise of the city but still appreciate the beauty of its canals and views from the water. It’s a totally different experience compared to walking around. 🛥
It’s not cheap but really worth your time and money. I will do it again if I’m back in Amsterdam. I will go for a champagne and cured meats with cheese. That will be perfect 👍🏻
For those who afraid of seasickness, fred not, this has no current no waves, just smooth magic carpet ride, smoother than limousine on the road. Therfore you can enjoy even a hot tea or coffee ☕️ on the boat.

Rijksmuseum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Historical Amsterdam museum
Museum-hopping in Amsterdam is really convenient as many of their famous museums are located within the vicinity of one another in the borough of Amsterdam South. This one we visited was the Rijksmuseum, showcasing mainly the artworks and heritage symbols of the Dutch.
The entry tickets are fairly pricey, costing around 24 euros per adult, but the artefacts on display are very aesthetic and meaningful. There was even a huge notebook for the public to pen their hopes and well-wishes based on the theme of one of the art pieces!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rijkmuseum Amsterdam
One of the top museums here in Amsterdam and definitely a must-seen! Its very popular so better book the ticket in advance online. It's quite huge, if you wanna see everything you will have to take a whole day. The museun offers free apps which you can download easily on your phone, so you don't need to rent extra audio guide. Some of the important master pieces are on a tour exhibition so we didn't get to see then, which it's a pity. Make sure you visit the museum gift shop! So many interesting items!
Amsterdam!
Amsterdam has been so pretty!
Amsterdam is the capital of Netherlands, and it is full of artistic heritage, canals, bikes, and unique sights. It houses many museums as well, such as the Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, etc.
The city is easily accessible through train, bus, or plane through Schiphol Airport. To get around Amsterdam, main modes of transport are buses, trams, metro, sprinter, and even through cycling. It is very common to see people cycling here and they even have bike lanes everywhere.
The people here also generally speak good English, so it’s very easy to communicate with the locals. A really nice place to visit!

The Most Amazing Place in Amsterdam
The Museum Quarter in Amsterdam is one of my personal favorites. Relax on the grass field or chill at the fountain. Enough to see and do!
You could easily spend days in this quarter without visiting any of the other areas this remarkable city has to offer.#summervacation Protip, there is an small garden on the northeast side. You might be lucky and might find art students there doing some paintings or drawings.

Van Gogh Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Legendary Museum
Loved my experience here. Note that you must book online and ahead of time. And be prepared for crowds.
Excellent tribute to Van Gogh's life. All his famous works are here, including sunflowers and self portraits.
The Versailles exhibition is a nice extra. Audio guide is truly excellent.
Lockers provided, excellent gift shop, cafes & restaurants, plenty of seats.
This is an absolute must visit

Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam
Amazing museum and many many Van Gogh paintings for you to admire. There is quite a bit people at times, and you should definitely have a reservation. It’s near the other museum so you can visit both in a day. There are also limited time displays on the other side of the museum. Tickets need to be booked online, usually not available on the same day, so better to plan 2-3 days in advance. Could find very interesting art pieces, Van Gogh's life and his painting skills exhibited in the most authentic way possible.

The Heineken Experience In Amsterdam
If you are in Amsterdam, one of the tours that I would highly recommend would be the Heineken experience at the Heineken brewery. It is a fun and interesting place to be at, as you learn more of the history of Heineken, it's beer making process and also it's brewery. The whole tour was very detailed yet it is not boring. You can enter the brewery and a guide is there to explain about the beer ingredients and what makes Heineken so special. It takes about 90 minutes for the entire tour and at the end of the tour, there's a complimentary glass of beer that you drink at the brewery. The Heineken experience is a pretty unique experience and your cameras will be busy snapping away as there's so many photo opportunites. Love the Heineken experience!

Keukenhof Holland Tulip Season
KEUKENHOF 🌷 1, 2 or 3 ? Memories from my little trip in Holland during the tulip season two years ago ! I got the chance to visit the famous Keukenhof Garden and was blown away by the colors and shapes of the tulips. I heard it is unfortunately not allowed to open for the second year in a row so I hope it will be open next year as it is truly a must-do for anyone who is visiting this part of the country near Amsterdam 🙏 Have you ever been ?
