This weekend I was in Amsterdam to attend a friend's wedding. And while I hoped I could squeeze in a little time off in the city, I was too busy to help with the 9 layers weddingcake my sister created for the happy couple. Which was fun though!
Somehow I never fell in love with Amsterdam. Well over a decade ago, before moving to France, I even worked here, but I think I need more time to go beyond the clichés of agressive cyclists:
the beautiful canals:
Amsterdam gable galore:
and the Amstel:
So I made plans to come back very soon! Of course I'll include some libary love (at the Public Libary), water love (at Stella Maria Maris, a new water & care brand) and meet up with friends for real friendship love 😉
What about you? Do you like Amsterdam? Any suggestions of places to visit that could make me change my mind?
Really Judith? Instead I am in love with it even though I never lived there and don't know it so well. It was just love at first sight, so to speak.
Loved the last time I was there with a friend, we spent a weekend in the jordaan area. I thought it was great just to stroll around, drinking or having simple dinners along the water, in and out tiny shops and galleries. One of my dreams is to live there one day. Who knows?
Oh wow, you should do it and move there, Stefania! Even if it's just for a year or so! I think I just need to go back and stay a little bit longer to really enjoy all the perks of the Dutch capital.
Oh I LOVE Amsterdam! Do let me know when you go back so I can give you some tips ;)
I'll definitely let you know, Yvonne ;) Good suggestions are always welcome <3
I love Amsterdam. haven't been back in too long tho… fab pics!!
Thanks Petra. Same here, I had never been in the past few years. But trying to go back soon for more :)
I had no idea you were not fond of this city.
Let me know if I can help to change your mind, it would be funny a Colombian showing a Dutch around. Who knows maybe I can convince you that there are plenty of nice things here :)
Hahahah that would be hilarious, but so much fun! I think there are lots of nice things to discover in Amsterdam, but somehow it never really “clicked”. Time to change that, right? Will let you know when I'll be there, soon I hope!
Visited for a week in May, rented a canal house, and absolutely loved it. A photographer's dream city!
I hope to find out next time, Vickie! Thanks for your comment :)
A so lovely blog that i've just discovered :)
Merci Amélie! Lovely to discover yours too!
