Amsterdam is an very small city & like alot of european cities has a radial urban planning which simply means star-shaped radial streets extend outward from a center point which usually is a main square or monument. So that makes it hard to get lost.
Here's my list of must sees in Amsterdam:
1)The Van Gogh Museum
2)Rijksmuseum
3)The infamous Red Light District
4)The Coffee shops & actually one in particular "Dampkring" It's got extraordinary décor that makes Dampkring coffee shop stand out from the crowd, it was also used to shoot scenes from "Ocean's Twelve" & its also famous for its extensive "Menu".
5) Dont miss out on the amazing potatoes!!! yummmm
6)Nor the waffles!:)
7)AIR CLUB which was designed by one of my fave designers ever Marcel Wanders. Its design concept makes the clubbing experience sooo perfect & convenient for ppl like me who actually go to dance without a care.
8)FOAM Gallery for all the modern art suckers out there is a MUST. More on that in an upcoming post.
Here are some of my fave shots from Amsterdam.
Notice how the buildings are not straight
