I always dreamed that my first time to visit Amsterdam will be in a spring to smell and wonder tulips, but it’s autumn. 2015 is outside and we have an opportunity to attend it on weekends, so why not? 2,5 hours flight and we are in the Netherlands’ capital!
Ready to explore … ohhhh this wonderful canal houses!
Probably a good idea is to cycle through the city, cause cycling is the key of the city’s character. Locals say that here are more bicycles than people:) So if you like pedal power, you’ll enjoy your stay in Amsterdam 🙂 Just remember that many locals use their bikes for everything, so sometime bike lanes can be crowded a bit 😉
But mainstream is not our selected method. Our key transportation to day is left and, most important also, right feet! 😀
165 canals encircle the city, so if you have enough time and an opportunity take a canal cruise, there are many different of them on offer. Trust me, you will enjoy this lovely ride and unique Amsterdam’s landscape.
Amsterdam is pretty big, so you have a lot of opportunities of what to do! We have only 48 hours. Today we are just strolling around canals discovering elegant and gorgeous architecture. Here is the Amsterdam Historical Museum on our way. It’s in the very center of Amsterdam, let’s visit it to understand city’s rich history.
It’s autumn, so it’s getting dark very fast. After the sun is down all roads head to… the one of the most famous red light districts in the world – The Red Light District! 🙂 It’s is one of the most curious areas of the city and at the same time one of the top Amsterdam attractions.
It’s quite crowded but at the same time very safety, cause police maintaining law and order here 😉
This bronze breastplate sculpture within the pavement is a sign, that we are in the heart of the Red Light District.
By the way, here the oldest profession in the world is respected as a profession, yep, prostitution is fully legal here.
Just remember that you can’t take photos of the windows with ladies 🙂
Let’s have some fun! The end 🙂
Tomorrow will be new day and new emotions:)
See you tomorrow 🙂
Don’t sit at home. Travel! Travel with me! 🙂 Meaww!
