My Travels in Netherlands: Top 5 in Amsterdam

On my European trip in 2012 I got to experience Amsterdam for the first time. But really, there is so much to see and do in Amsterdam that I’ve still only scratched the surface. Here are 5 of the highlights from Amsterdam.

1. Try Cannabis
OK so I’m a girl and I don’t like smoking or drinking but when you are in Amsterdam it’s a good chance to try some weed and even buy cannabis seeds. Cannabis/Weed bars are everywhere so you might as well indulge into it – my boyfriend actually tried it but I just went to see the bars that sell it.

2. Canals
I loved the canals of Amsterdam, simply beautiful for a walk. And you can’t miss them – they are everywhere and you can even get a boat cruise.

3. Anne Frank’s House

Anne Frank’s House is very touristy but has to be seen to be believed. Such a history here with this lady who hid from the German Nazis during the War. A really inspiring story.

4. Red Light District

Amsterdam’s Red Light District is notoriously famous and is worth a night time stroll.

5. Cheese Museum

I love to sample different foods on my travels and Amsterdam is famous for cheese so head to the Cheese Museum for samples ands demonstrations on how the cheese is made.
