Travelling with Becky- Amsterdam

I recently went on a trip to Amsterdam and I thought I would share my thought with you guys. It was the second time I had visitied the city and after my first visit I was not very impressed with it, however after my recent trip I really warmed up to the city and now I can say I actually like it .

I thought I would mention some of the things I enjoyed doing. One think I really liked and would recommend to anyone going to Amsterdam is the Canal tour. There are loads of different companies that offer them and this is a great way to see the city. Next must see is the Anne Frank House. I went early morning and ended up waiting for about 1h30 before getting in. So, the best way is to buy tickets online before travelling. You can do quite good shopping in Amsterdam, there are some really unique boutiques to be discovered. Another thing which I enjoyed visiting was the Royal Palace which was open.
Something for the diamond lovers out there is the Diamond Museum. Of course, there are also the famous museums such as the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum if you are into art. If not, I found it very enjoyable just to walk around. There are many things to discover, just by wondering through the streets. Also the great think about Amsterdam is that there is Wifi everywhere, making it very easy to go around without turning on your data roaming.

Now on to food, one of my favourite things. I must admit I did have some very tasty meals to eat while in Amsterdam. I was impressed how good their coffee is. One place I would recommend going to get some nice coffee is the Coffee Company which I saw quite frequently. A place where they make amazing sandwiches, coffee and food in general is a cafe called Baton. Also if you are looking for some good pancakes you can find they at a place called Hansel and Gretel just opposite the Rijksmuseum. If you see Chicken Satay on the menu I would recommend trying it, as I have had the best ones in Amsterdam, they are really tasty.

Few things to watch out in Amsterdam, there are A LOT of bikes. They are coming from every direction, very fast, so watch out.
Otherwise it's a great place and everybody speaks English which is great because I find Dutch quite difficult to understand.

If you are thinking of going I highly recommend visiting it. However if you stay more that 4 days you may start getting a bit bored as it's not a massive city. 

I hope this post was useful for you guys. See you all next week for a new post Wednesday 5pm GMT.
