Me and my friends found really cheap EasyJet flights from Bristol to Amsterdam, a hotel off trivago and we're already collating a list of places and things we want to do whilst we're there! We're going in late June to celebrate the end of a-levels and our last summer before we all head off to uni. Obviosuly we're teenagers, so our trip may include walking through the red light district and giggling but let's just say this list is more on the 'cultural' side rather than the usual teenageer trip to the sex museum, coffee shop etc. So here's a list of ten things I really want to do when we go to Amsterdam!
1. Visit the Anne Frank House. Although this list isn't in order of importance, going to the Anne Frank House is what I'm looking forward to the most. I read her diary back in primary school and I still remember it vividly.
2. Go on a Canal Cruise. It's an easy/fun way of getting to know Amsterdam and to get used to your surroundings. It's probably best to do this on the first day you arrive!
3. Visit the Bloemenmarkt, I probably won't buy any flowers but I'm excited to just wander around!
4. Rent Bikes to tour the canals and take cute ass instagram photos!! Me and my friends will be those shameless tourists posing for far too many pictures, but don't worry we won't be living behind our screens!
5. Chill out at Vondelpark.
6. Go to the Van Gough Museum.
7. Also go to the Rijksmuseum.
8. EAT! EAT! EAT! I'm looking forward to trying Patatje Oorlog from a 'snackbar', Stroopwafels and Poffertjes from The Pancake Bakery (they're cute baby pancakes!!) Never thought I'd describe pancakes as cute...
9. Get a cheesey tourist photo with the Iamsterdam sign. It's just expected when you go to Amsterdam!
10. Visit de pijp and go to the Albert Cuypmarket. I've seen so many pictures of this cool market on pinterest etc and although it'll probably be pretty overwhelming, I'm very excited!
Let me know if this list gave you inspiration if you're planning on visiting or if you've visited before comment below any of your suggestions, as to where we should go!
