Amsterdam is a beautiful city carved by numerous canals and waterways. The "Venice of the North" is a "Kingdom of Museums" full of European art. It is also vibrant city perfectly combining spicy temptations with ultra-sweet freedom. Amsterdam is famous throughout the world for its openness and culture.

Madame Tussauds Amsterdam 🗺️
#museums
During my summer vacation in Amsterdam, I couldn’t resist visiting Madame Tussauds, and it turned out to be an incredibly fun experience! 🎭 Located right in the heart of the city on Dam Square, the entrance fee was €26.50 if you book online, which I recommend to avoid the queues.
Madame Tussauds Amsterdam is more than just a wax museum; it’s an interactive experience where you can get up close with lifelike figures of celebrities, historical figures, and even Dutch royalty. The detail in the wax figures is astonishing, making it easy to forget they aren’t real! I had a blast posing with icons like Beyoncé, Barack Obama, and even some classic Dutch figures like Anne Frank. 📸
What I loved most was how interactive the exhibits were. You can step into a Marvel movie, join a fashion show, or even take a seat in the Dutch Parliament! It’s a great place for both adults and kids, with plenty of photo opportunities and surprises around every corner.
After spending a couple of hours at Madame Tussauds, I took a stroll around Dam Square and visited the nearby Royal Palace. The area is buzzing with energy and there are plenty of cafes and shops to explore. ☕️🛍️
If you're looking for a mix of fun and culture, Madame Tussauds Amsterdam is a fantastic spot to add to your itinerary. It’s an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, especially if you’re in the mood for some lighthearted entertainment.

Ladies' Amsterdam 3-day 2-night solo trip - hassle-free version 😊
Second solo trip, this time the itinerary is more relaxed and leisurely. If you don't want to be too tired, you can refer to this. I basically checked in at all the important attractions and Internet celebrity food.
🎯 Safety
Although there is often a pungent smell on the road, it is generally safe. The street is still brightly lit after 10 o'clock. There is no logo on the canvas bag, so it has not been stolen and no strange people have been encountered.
🎯 Transportation
I bought a three-day pass for amsterdam region travel tickets at the connected train station after getting off the plane. If you don't go to the windmill village and Lego Town, you can buy amsterdam travel ticket
It should be enough. In addition, I strongly recommend downloading the NS app, which is very convenient for checking the tram/train time and platform.
🎯 Accommodation
I stayed next to the train station, which is basically close to everything. You must book it in advance, otherwise the hotel in the city center is very expensive.
⭐️DAY1 [Van Gogh Museum] ➡️ [moco museum]
⭐️Ticket booking tips: Generally, the official website of the Van Gogh Museum will release tickets for the next day at 5 pm local time the night before. This is how I got it. But booking in advance is definitely the safest.
What time do you buy audio at the Van Gogh Museum (with Chinese)? The selected route is 45 minutes, and the regular route is 1.5. Moco Museum is a one-minute walk from the Van Gogh Museum. I only went to the souvenir shop to buy a beautiful canvas bag!
🍗Eat: [Castell] I ordered spare-rib and it made me dizzy (P2)
⭐️DAY2 [Zaandam Lego Town] ➡️ [Windmill Village] ➡️ [Canal Boat Trip]
Lego Town is 2 stops away from Windmill Village, so you can go together.
The boat trip was booked for flagship. The set meal I chose had free flow of cheese and wine. It is recommended to go around 8 o'clock, and it is very beautiful at sunset. It is very interesting to listen to the tour guide talk about the history of Amsterdam. It is worth more than 30 euros.
⭐️DAY3 [Netherlands National Museum] ➡️ [Ninth District Canal City Walk]
Museum tickets can be booked on the same day. I strongly recommend renting audio. The audio here is the best I have ever used, with Bluetooth map. The selected route is 1.5 hours, and the route is very organized. I bought two beautiful canvas bags.
In the afternoon, I checked in at the popular snacks and some vintage shops next to the canal.
💥Van Stapele Koekmakerji
The famous chocolate cookies. You can order them on the official website in advance. Otherwise, you have to wait in line for a long time. Those who like sweet food will love it.
💥fabel freit
The clerk was so handsome. The fries were just ordinary delicious fries, and the truffle mayonnaise was very fragrant.
💥Paloberry
Chocolate strawberry. I was prepared to step on thunder but it was unexpectedly good.

Lovely Garden at Rijksmuseum
#familytrips2024
A peaceful oasis as compared to the Rijksmuseum, the Rijksmuseum Garden is located at the back of the museum and has much lesser people exploring the garden. Take a stroll around the lovely garden and take a rest at one of the many seats available around the garden. There is also a beautiful water fountain in the Rijksmuseum Garden. I will recommend you to take a break in the garden to relax after the grueling museum tour with the overwhelming tourist crowd.
Beautiful Canals of Amsterdam

Amsterdam is known for their tulips 🌷 and the iconic canals around the city. The 17th century canals of Amsterdam had been in the UNESCO World Heritage sites since 2010, and the canals represent Cultural Heritage of exceptional quality. There are a total of 165 canals in Amsterdam.

I am just glad that this palace provide an audiotour system. It’s easy to use and you may listen to it at your own pace quietly, that way, it is not so noisy in the palace. The audio are quite interesting and even asking some questions that make you think and looking back for some hidden or key points on certain items showed in the palace. There are few languages available, you may refer to the last slide. Another extra info, storage room and wc are both located near the entrance.
Tulip Tours Holland
#springblossom This tour was a nice way to spend an afternoon in the rural areas north of Amsterdam. It was nice to get out of the city and see the countryside. We had a very small group of 9 so that made it easy for our well-informed guide to give us lots of attention and answer all of our questions. We visited 3 tulip farms, in order from small to large and 1 working windmill. It was nice to not be around all the crowds of Kuekenoff. We also stopped at a small restaurant and had a traditional Dutch lunch.

Summer chillin' in Amsterdam
One memorable trip in 2023 was a short one-day layover in Amsterdam! Though it was short, it was thoroughly enjoyable exploring this highly walkable (and bikable!) city in late summer - all the locals were out relaxing and basking in the sunlight and the layout of the city also makes it easy to navigate.
🚆 You can take the train from the airport to Amsterdam Centraal, it costs less than 10 euros and is fast and efficient with clearly signposted directions at Schipol airport.
🚲 or 🚶♀️ It's good to leave a bit of time to just wander and explore this charming city. There are many little alleys and nooks along the cobblestoned streets, take the time to wander and you might find some hidden gems like the Marionnette theatre, a delight for young and old alike
☕️ Rest your feet at any of the charming cafes around and savour a slice of must-have apple cake!
In 2024, my wish is to venture back to Europe to see the Northern Lights!

Hotel in the Netherlands | Amsterdam Conservatory Hotel
The Amsterdam Conservatory, a century-old building, originated from the Royal Bank of the Netherlands and later became the Royal Conservatory. The old conservatory had no new owner after moving at the beginning of this century, until 2011 when this classic Dutch building made a gorgeous turn and reappeared in an amazing hotel look.
Geographical location
The hotel is located in the center of Amsterdam, with shopping centers, computer cities, museums, cultural corridors nearby, and convenient transportation.
Accommodation
The Amsterdam Conservatory Hotel has 128 rooms and suites to choose from. These include rooftop rooms, studios, apartment-style suites, and more. The hotel has two styles of rooms, one is irregular lofts and the other is as modern as other Asian hotels. In the attic rooms, there are various Dutch specialties, such as Delft ceramics and Dutch wooden shoes, simple and warm.
Hotel catering
In terms of catering services, the hotel's Taiko Japanese restaurant airlifts all Wagyu beef directly from Japan, paired with Gin born in the Netherlands and a variety of cocktails made with it, allowing guests to feel a feast from taste and vision at the same time.
Stunning Riverside Restaurant
Former pop-up restaurant BAK now has its own permanent location on the Van Diemenstraat in Amsterdam. Located on the water in Amsterdamse Houthavens, BAK sets daily menus with ingredients that are the best at that moment. In the restaurant they only work with local products and the menu is always seasonal, gastronomic and a la carte.
This is a rather rugged yet inviting restaurant with its splendid view over the IJ River. Benny Blisto sets great store by the origin of his ingredients, be it a carrot or ray wing. Locally sourced, seasonal produce is the inspiration behind his creativity. For instance, with slightly tart rhubarb and an exquisite beetroot sauce, he elevates a venison fillet to new heights. An exciting dining experience is guaranteed!
Places to go in Amsterdam
Here’s three activities I did when visiting Amsterdam
• Keykenhof tulip gardens - A wonderful place to visit in the spring when the flowers are blooming, if walking around the sculpted gardens isn’t for you, you can also hire bikes or a boat and go on a tour around the actual flower fields
• Hortus Botanicus - This botanical garden has a wide variety of plants and lets you discover butterflies up close. It has a nice cafe and is situated right on a canal making it a great place for lunch
Zuid-Kennermerland - After short train ride to Haarlem and then renting bikes, we cycled to the national park that’s located on the coast of the Netherlands. There’s so many paths to discover here, and we ended up over the dunes and on the beach, after grabbing a snack from the cafe here. It’s a safe easy place to cycle to and would be great for a family

Yes, Freedom …even though it is one of the countries with the most expensive cost of living in Europe, This is not a problem for tourists' interest in coming to Amsterdam. Tourist from other European countries such as Germany, France, Belgium and others come to Amsterdam on weekends to spend time with their freedom of expression.

Canal Cruise, the best way to explore amsterdam 🇳🇱🚤
#timetotravel
Amsterdam is a city known for its long waterways (if you look at the world map, the aerial view of Amsterdam is like that of a spider web). Therefore, the best way to explore the Amsterdam Canal is via a Canal Cruise!!
When I visited Amsterdam back in July, I booked the Canal Booze Cruise with a local operator called “We Are Amsterdam & Starboard Boats”, as the name suggests, the cruise provides free flow alcoholic drinks which is superb.
As I was solo travelling, at first, I thought it might be weird to get onto the cruise by myself. However, the operator, the guide and other passengers have proven me wrong.
The guide did a very good job at explaining the history of Amsterdam and what I can conclude after the Canal Cruise is that the Dutch were poor designers and architects. It is because they used to build houses with wood and a fire had burned all of the houses, and the same accident happened twice in history. I was also told that the “Dancing Houses” on Damrak Canal was formed because the Dutch built the houses on stilts which caused it to wobble, tilt and sink into the river.
As I was sitting next to a group of Vietnamese girls from the States, we began having conversations and I made friends with them!
The cruise lasted around 45 minutes, and I wouldn’t mind for it to be longer!!

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#amsterdam #tripmoments #tripblazers
Enjoy your drink in minus 15 degrees celsius 🥶🍻❄️
I booked tickets online and it costs around 228 HKD, the ticket comes with two drinks inside the ice bar (you can choose either shots or beer) and one drink outside the ice bar (i choose a gin and tonic because you can never go wrong with it 🤷🏻♀️) I would say this package is quite worth it.
The ice bar is a pirate themed bar 🏴☠️, the staffs got really into character during the briefing and a video was played to let us understand the story behind the ice bar, which was fun!!
When it was time to go in, we were asked to get into a queue where we were handed out thick puffer jackets 🧥 and gloves 🧤 to be used inside the ice bar.
As mentioned we can pick 2 drinks to enjoy inside the ice bar, I picked two shots because they are unique only to this ice bar!! The drink was served in a ice sculpted cup but too bad i forgot to take a picture 😩 since it was really cold inside and i could not use my phone with the gloves
There was a photographer inside the bar that help us take pictures with our drink but turns out you have to pay for the digital prints which was a let down :( But other than this, I had so much fun!!

OneNight stand in Amsterdam
Book a hotel? No.
That is what me and my friends thought when we were planning to go to Amsterdam for Brussels.
We thought that it is a weekend and we can just go on Saturday morning and stay there the entire day and night and come back with the morning bus, because we thought it is going to be energetic the entire night. Not lucky for us more than half of Amsterdam was shut of after 2:00 am. which is reasonable and maybe we should have made more research but anyway we enjoyed it and we spent a good time there.
We spent the entire night going from one street to another until the time of our bus then we went back to Brussels.
Lesson learned: book a hotel, make good planning, and check the weather really carefully!
