Weekend Getaway to Amsterdam

Amsterdam canals

What a wonderful weekend escape to Amsterdam! This charming Dutch city with its famous canals, historic buildings, and vibrant culture made for the perfect short vacation.

Canal Tours and Architecture

The canal tour was definitely the highlight of my trip. Seeing the city from the water gives you a completely different perspective of the beautiful 17th-century architecture that lines the waterways.

Bike Culture

Everyone in Amsterdam rides bikes! I rented one for the day and it was such a fun way to explore the city like a local. The dedicated bike lanes make it safe and easy to get around.

Food and Markets

The local markets were amazing - especially the cheese market! I tried so many different varieties of Dutch cheese. And don’t get me started on the stroopwafels…

Looking forward to returning in spring when the tulips are in bloom!
