Amsterdam

Forget the cheesy stereotypes, there’s more to Amsterdam than weed, sex and prostitution. I personally got caught up in the cliché. Amsterdam is packed with art, canals and a lively nightlife – and with so much to do the cost of your trip can soon creep up. Yet it is possible to enjoy the city on a budget, and “you won't even need to go Dutch!” Biking through the streets of Amsterdam without knowing our way round the city is probably one of the fun things to do. Bike rental costs varies but we got each bikes for something around €10 per hour with a security deposit of €50 which you get back on returning the bikes. I'm from oxford which is probably the bike city of the United Kingdom so i've always had a thing for bike also Amsterdam roads are dedicated to bikes with a lot of bike lanes.

Jaz Amsterdam

Jaz Amsterdam is in the Zuidoost district of Amsterdam. One of the greatest benefit about this hotel is its proximity to event venue Ziggo Dome and the Amsterdam Arena. Amsterdam RAI Convention centre is at 3.1 miles distance, while Schiphol Airport is 7.5 miles away, with the city centre within 15 minutes. Zuidoost is a great choice for travelers interested in sightseeing, city trips and atmosphere. Jaz Amsterdam was rated for best value & top 10 luxury hotel I believe this because of its music theme which is one of a kind. So you know where to stay when you're next in Amsterdam.

Oliebollenamsterdam.com

similar to donuts, oliebollen are basically deep-fried balls of dough (it literally “oil balls”). Sold only in the fall and early winter, these delicious treats are served at stalls which pop up across the country as the temperatures start to drop. When you order one, make sure you request it warm and never turn down their offer to sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. Yes, you will possibly end up with powdered sugar all down your front, but it’ll absolutely be worth it.

A'DAM Lookout

is one of the experiences I intended to have but unfortunately due to my limited stay on this holiday I was unable to go. It’s said to be Europe's highest swing as you can appreciate panoramic views of Amsterdam from A’DAM LOOKOUT, It offers you the finest view 360-degree views of the city and beyond. On the observation deck you will enjoy views of the famous Amsterdam canals. You’ll feel free as a bird when you stand on the lookout platform. The Heavenly elevator will take you 20 floors up within 22 seconds. This futuristic elevator is equipped with sound and light effects for a spectacular start to your visit. At the top, you will be greeted by a fantastic 360˚ view of Amsterdam. There are an indoor deck and an open-air sky deck on which you can enjoy the sights. It costs €12 and on the plus side there’s a free ferry that gets you there from Amsterdam Central Station.
