I am still in Amsterdam, In my hotel room and tomorrow I’ll get back to Portugal. But not before I write some thoughts about this city.

Amsterdam Bicicles

Bicicles in Amsterdam

It’s a nice city, there are a lot of bicicles, and you should be very carefull when crossing the streets or you can cause an accident – bicicles have priority over cars, people… everything.

The city itself has a nice architectural feeling around the water canals (grachts, as they call it here).

But there’s one thing I didnĀ“t like at all:

Everything is paid. Well, this is not a surprise but every monument will ask for an overrated ammount. The city has around 50 museums.

Woth it:

  • Tropenmuseum
  • Hop On – Hop Off (Boat)
  • Verzetsmuseum (Dutch Resistance Museum)
  • Anne Frank House (Be sure to be in the mood. Otherwise skip.)

Not worth it:

  • Rijksmuseum (Big queue, big and beautifull building from the outside, 11eur, and very small exhibition)
  • Food.

Ok, that’s it. Tomorrow I’ll fly back to Portugal..

…a little after the Turkish airlines plane crash…
