Amsterdam is a city often dubbed as a party destination but it is so much more. There’s an elegance to Amsterdam- picturesque canals with overhanging trees and reflections from the brick homes. There’s a human size feeling to it all, where you can walk or bike everywhere.

I think a lot of people dont realise it until they come and visit for themselves. Often only thinking of Amsterdam for its red light district or endless ‘coffee shops’, you soon discover that this historic city is really rich in history and local culture. it takes a bit of time to explore and settle into what Amsterdam has to offer.

Aperfect morning is to grab a coffee from a local cafe, and then take a stroll or public transport to Rijksmuseum or Van Goph Museum.
