Amsterdam

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all are doing very well. Today I want to share with you some pictures of Amsterdam. Amsterdam was a part of my Christmas trip last year. I arrived in Amsterdam from Antwerp by bus. The trip costed around $11 and took two hours or so. You also can take busses to Amsterdam from Brussels for $15, and the trip might take 3 hours.

I definitely suggest you to buy their public transport chip card (OV) if your place is far from the city center like mine. I had to walk around an hour to get to city center from my hostel. Since it was 2 nights trip, I did not mind walking that much but if you want to stay long time, you should check hostels near by city center or buy the chip card. If you like to ride a bicycle, I might say that Amsterdam is the capital of bicycles but never forget to be aware of bicycle traffic rules.

I took the picture of "I Amsterdam" sign around 10 in the morning and I clearly remember that the weather was deadly freezing for me. I do not have a picture of myself with the sign and actually I do not even have any other picture of the sign because of the weather in that time. So my next suggestion is that if you want to take a good picture of "I Amsterdam" sign, you should wake up earlier!

I am going to end this post here with a picture of De Waag. It is the oldest non-religious structure in Amsterdam. It was a town gate, a trade center and more during the history, but now it is serving people as a museum and a restaurant. I hope you enjoyed the post.
