This guide takes you on a sassy tour of the city of the canals or the “Venice of the North” - with a bit of something for everyone!
The city is famous for its arhitecture, art museums and traditions that are well kept alive and praised. But it is also famous for cannabis-serving coffeeshops (this guide provides a list with such venues), red-light district, quirky bars and bizarre museums.
So, whether on foot or by bike/boat, take this guide & stroll around this outstanding city in search for fun, food, souvenirs and all those Dutch vibes that you heard so much about.
When it comes to traditional food, be sure to try:
- Haring or 'Hollandse Nieuwe' (Dutch new herring), probably the most famous Dutch food. Pickled herring is a delicacy in Holland. The raw herring is served together with chopped raw onions and gherkins.
- Stamppot, an old dish of mashed potatoes combined with root vegetables, like turnip, carrot and onion, but it can also include dark, leafy greens like kale/spinach (make sure you order it the traditional way, with smoked sausage).
- Erwtensoep, a thick split pea soup;
- Bitterballen similar to a scotch egg, they are balls of finely chopped beef or veal that are seasoned with a mixture of spices, then rolled in bread crumbs and deep fried.
Also, make sure you try out some desserts:
- Poffertjes, small pancakes, baked in an iron skillet and traditionally served with melted butter, dusted with icing sugar
- Pannenkoeken, another traditional sort of pancakes
- Oliebollen ‘oil spheres' are balls of dumpling batter fried in hot oil and later sprinkled with icing sugar.
Highlights:
🌷Dutch tulips - It was in the 16th century that tulips were imported to Holland from the Ottoman Empire. In no time, tulips became the most sought-after commodity in the entire Netherlands, after Carolus Clusius wrote what's considered the first major book about the flower. In the early 1600s, professional cultivators of tulips began to refine techniques to grow and produce the flowers locally in Holland, establishing a flourishing business sector that has persisted to this day.
The tulips mostly bloom during the spring season, from mid-April to mid-May, in Amsterdam. The Tulip Festival will begin on March 23rd and go on till May 14th, 2023
👡 Klompen - Dutch clogs are a type of footwear made in part or completely from wood. The iconic footwear of the Netherlands were the shoes of choice for Dutch laborers of centuries past. The wooden slip-ons were sturdy, cheap and—when stuffed with straw—cozy and warm. The first Dutch clog is dated from the year 1230. The shoe is deeply ingrained in Dutch culture and some people in rural areas still wear them today!
🚲 Dutch bikes - are a style of urban commuting bikes that have been used in the Netherlands for decades and have grown in popularity in cities around the world. Dutch bicycles are upright or “sit-up” style – with taller frames than typical bicycles. This position allows for very good visibility and great comfort. A popular form of Dutch bicycles is the Omafiets (translates to Grandma's bike).
🗼 Dutch windmills - were built originally to pump the water out from the land because the Netherlands is so flat and below sea level. With the land always getting flooded, farming was almost impossible, hence the need to force out the water by means of the windmills.
🧇 Stroopwafel - the most classic of all Dutch sweets and a perfect gift from Holland - literally means “syrup waffle” and it’s a round crunchy waffle with chewy caramel filling. The correct way of eating it is: put it on your coffee or tea cup and wait for a minute until the caramel melts and the waffle warms up – it enhances its flavour and makes it taste as fresh from the oven. Delicious!
🧀 Dutch cheese - especially Gouda, Edam and Maasdam, well known and exported all over the world. Apart from the classics, try some really special ones: a turquoise-coloured cheese with lavender, pink-coloured cheese with red pesto, champagne gouda or even… coconut gouda! A typical cheese from Amsterdam is Old Amsterdam, exceptional premium aged gouda cheese.
🥃 Genever (also called Jenever) - is the traditional liquor of the Netherlands, from which gin has evolved. Some tasters say the flavor of this spirit is similar to white whiskey. Oude (old) genever is the traditional style, with a malty botanical flavor. Jonge (young) genever is a newer recipe with a cleaner taste, more similar to vodka.
There are several genever distilleries in Amsterdam, each with their own secret recipes.

As a local who has lived in Shanghai for over 20 years, this guide will take you along what I consider the most beautiful riverside walk in Shanghai. We’ll start from the North Bund, which is less crowded but more scenic than the Bund, walk through the North Bund Greenland, and take a ferry to Lujiazui to enjoy the stunning night view of the Huangpu River from the best rooftop terrace. However, it’s necessary to note that this walking route is best enjoyed in good weather and outside of the summer months.

STOP doing Malaysia the wrong way 🛑 Skip the hours of research and get my ultimate Malaysia itinerary for 2-3 weeks. From the vibrant streets of Kuala Lumpur to the serene Perhentian Islands, the picturesque tea plantations, lush rainforests of Borneo, and a quick pit-stop in Singapore, this guide covers it all.
What’s included in my guide?
🛫 Everything is practically planned for you: I've thought of everything from the flights you need to take to reach each destination along the itinerary, to crafting an itinerary that minimizes flight times.

🚍 Logistics made easy: Links to book transportation and hotels.
📅 In-depth details: Best times to visit, daily city itineraries, and budget breakdowns.
🔑 Essential tips: Avoid common pitfalls with crucial information, such as understanding Malaysia's digital arrival card requirements and knowing where ATMs aren't available so you can get cash beforehand.
🌟 Local gems: Top restaurants, must-do activities, and hidden treasures.
🗺️ Interactive map: An interactive map with 71 places linked, plus additional links to activities and hotels not included in the 71. As someone who has experienced it all firsthand and is heading back this summer, I’ve got you covered. 🌟

This guide is a sum-up of my stay in Stockholm for the last 5 years. It is divided between things to see, where to eat, and where to stay. These are all the places I love to share with my Italian friends and family who come to visit. 🤩
Like every Scandinavian city, the weather can be very mutable, so be sure to dress accordingly with many layers that can be taken off if needed.
And always remember: There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes 😄
I have added a section of places I love that are subjected to seasonal openings, I specify it in the guide 😉
There could be many many other places worth of being included, but these are my faves :D

Chinatown remains a hot tourist spot in London and there's a reason why. 1.5% of London's population are of Chinese ethnicity. Chinatown is always bustling with life and you will find most restaurant owners/staff of Chinese origin, making this a very authentic place to eat Chinese food. However, as it is limited to one main street, there have been many other amazing Chinese restaurants that have popped up.
Here's a list of my personal favourite Chinese restaurants in London. Follow @anneotherhuangryasian on Instagram for more food recs!
I hope you enjoy this guide.
Any tips would be appreciated 😊
