Cycling through Amsterdam: Colourful bikes sit by the canal
Cycling through Amsterdam means checking out scenes like these. So pretty!
There is perhaps no image of Europe more romantic and relaxing than that of a gentle bike trip across charming, cobblestone streets. Unless you're an anti-adventurist, that is! Your inner chicken will be cringing with every turn, fretting the buses, the cars, even your fellow cyclists. But cycling through Amsterdam is a travel dream, even for those of us who are entirely less adventurous in their travel style. Here's how to survive and thrive while biking in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam has a fantastic, diverse, delicious food scene and there is something for every taste and price point. In just a few days we must have consumed our own body weight in goodies several times over. No shame, no problem! Here are four of our favourite places to eat, drink, and be merry. Don't consider it a comprehensive list or a 'best of' description - these are simply spots we loved and we think you'll love them too.

Little Houseboat on the Prinsengracht: The Amsterdam Houseboat Museum

21/1/2015

 

Updated in 2022! I love tiny places - but will my stomach love being on a houseboat? And it's not just any houseboat. It's the Amsterdam Houseboat Museum!

Our visit to Amsterdam was facilitated in part by Amsterdam Tourism and we thank them for their support. Note that this post contains affiliate ads and links

Amsterdam Houseboat Museum, Holland
I love everything about this beautiful (and tiny!) vintage kitchen on the Amsterdam Houseboat Museum.
I am absolutely obsessed with tiny places and spaces with plenty of hidden nooks and crannies. Folding camping gear, hidden drawers in RVs, nifty gadgets for organizing luggage - these are just a few of my favourite things! So it only made sense that I visited Amsterdam's Houseboat Museum at Prinsengracht 296K. Visiting a houseboat is like the Disneyworld of organization and I couldn't wait to check out how every square foot of space is used to the max. 

There was just one problem. Exactly how would my notorious seasickness fare on a houseboat?

The Prettiest Little Amsterdam Museum Most Travelers Miss.

Searching for your Amsterdam museum fix? Welcome to the Amsterdam Tulip Museum!

Amsterdam Tulip Museum
A look at tulips in the wild at the Amsterdam Tulip Museum.
I used to think that Ottawa held the prize for being utterly tulip obsessed. Our Tulip Festival is an annual rite of passage to celebrate our survival through winter and the long anticipated arrival of spring. But our tulip obsession is downright subdued compared to what you'll find in Amsterdam! I had long known that tulips were the national symbol of The Netherlands but nothing could prepare me for just how tulip-mad people are in Amsterdam. If you're looking for a unique, one of a kind Amsterdam museum, you're going to love the Amsterdam Tulip Museum.
