Amsterdam, the city with energy: A Complete Travel Guide

Amsterdam, the city with energy: A Complete Travel Guide

Buckle up and get your walking shoes ready! Amsterdam awaits, a city that thrums with a vibrant energy. Canals lined with charming gabled houses whisper tales of a rich history. Museums brim with artistic genius, from the delicate brushstrokes of Van Gogh to the poignant story of Anne Frank. Within its grand museums and iconic landmarks lie stories waiting to be unraveled. Wander through royal palaces, marvel at artistic masterpieces, or get lost in the delightful chaos of a bustling street market. London is a feast for the senses, a city that will surprise you, challenge you, and leave you with memories that linger long after you depart. But Amsterdam isn't just a museum under the open sky. Around every corner, tempting aromas of stroopwafel waft from cafes, and friendly faces invite you to join the lively buzz of a bustling square. So, open your heart to adventure, and let Amsterdam surprise you with its unique blend of history, culture, and joie de vivre.

My love for city trips started when I was 16, thanks to my mom who made it a tradition to take me to a new city every year. Since then, I've become obsessed with planning perfect trips, finding hidden gems, and hitting all the highlights without wasting any time. For the past 10 years, I've been a tour guide, leading trips all over the world, and worked at a travel agency where I created trips. I love the planning process and the thrill of visiting a city for the first time with a well-thought-out plan in hand. I've traveled to over 20 cities and can't wait to explore 20 more. In addition to Amsterdam, I've also lived in San Francisco, Dubai, and of course, Torrevieja. Each of these cities has given me a unique perspective and insider knowledge that I love to share.
