One Day in Amsterdam
Start the day off with coffee and a pastry (or the delicious breads with frosting!) in the chic Jordaan neighborhood.
Afternoon/Evening
Post-working up an appetite, head to Cora for the “best sandwiches of your life” - per my friend who absolutely loved the city.
After, walk north through the Jordaan district (clearly this was my favorite!), weaving up and down the quaint streets that boast tons of amazing shops and cafes.
On your way, you’ll pass by the Anne Frank House. Be sure to book well in advance - tickets go quickly and they don’t sell at the door! Also, the House music museum takes Google ad space from Anne Frank, so make sure you’re booking tickets for the right place.
For dinner, head to The Duchess - one of my favorite restaurants in Europe, especially for a vegetarian like myself. For solo travel, this restaurant has bar seats you can reserve (a classy, spacious bar!)
A trip to Amsterdam isn’t complete without a walk through the Red Light District. I begrudgingly did this (given I was alone) and am so happy I did. Amsterdam is lit up beautifully at night and breathtaking. Plus, I’ve never seen anything like this area.
