You have arrived at the…read morehistorical Nieuwe Kerk ("New Church") and are either about to enter or leave the Delft Market Square! This is a public art installation created by Marcel Smink placed on the loop of Oude Langendijk (street). It's a stylized heart symbolizing "the heart of the city" made from Delft blue glass to represent the city's trademark blue Delftware pottery and the stained glass windows of the historical buildings. It's pretty, pleasing to the eye, and lights up when it gets dark Kudos to Mr. Smink, it's a lovely piece of work. Heads up if you're still in the process of planning or haven't visited the Royal Delft yet, there are many shops selling Delftware here. If you're in a tour group with limited free time, there are various places to eat and desserts to have in this square as well. Have fun in the Olde Centre with its restaurants, multitudes of souvenir shops, the Nieuwe Kerk, and the Standhuis Delft ("Delft City Hall").

Can't explain the beauty of these…read more.. When you think about Amsterdam, you think Tulip gardens- Windmill or Canals and building around it. Yeah and after coming here, it did not disappoint me. There are 2 Amsterdam, one is at Dam's square and the other is on the bank of these canals. Totally different from each other. There are 165 Amsterdam canals combine for a length of over 100 kilometers (about 60 miles). The Canal Ring became part of the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2010. Amsterdam got its name from the Amstel River. And hard to believe but it has 3 times more bridges (1281 bridge) than Venice (409 bridge) also there are 2500 houseboats in Amsterdam. Bridges on the canals, they have similar characteristics. Bicycle on the railing, flower pots, and canals. That's picture-perfect scene and that's Amsterdam identity. There are a few spots that are totally mesmerized. Near Anne frank house ( Jordaan Area) or central station. Some spots are just amazing. You just wanna sit at the edge or take some cruise tour or sip coffee in one of the 100s cafes near to canals. Jordaan's restaurants and cafes have become a trendy place to sit and people-watch while enjoying traditional Dutch folk music. In the night, you just wanna sit and admire the beauty of the city and its canals. pro Tip - check out the building near the central station. these are the place for Insta pictures

There are lines over the bridges waiting to get bubble tea or fries. The locals can no longer go to this place thanks to this ridiculous lemen behavior. But other than that, it's like a mall but outside. Be careful of the rude cyclist trying to run you over if you step in the way. Most likely these aren't typical Dutch cyclists but tourists or expats themselves being arrogant.

With only a limited time in Amsterdam (alas) before our river cruise would depart, walking the 9…read moreStreets neighborhood was a must. We took a taxi to the Anne Frank house and walked the few blocks to a starting point. It was a chilly, rainy November day but we had umbrellas, rain gear and determination! The neighborhoods are utterly charming, canals throughout, bordered by colorful houses, skinny sidewalks with bikes and cars squeezed in somehow. It so reminded us of Venice! Everything is so photogenic it's easy to burn through your phone's storage here! Shops and restaurants abound throughout. Would've loved to have more time to check them out but my wife did find some beautiful scarves in one. Walking the 9 Streets has been described as one of the great walks of Europe. A must see when in Amsterdam!

One of the best hot chocolates I've had here in the Netherlands. It's extremely rich in chocolate and delicious. For my entree I had the Orecchiette al Radicchio pasta. It was good but I was expecting it to have more of a cheesier taste since it has gorgonzola in the ingredients. It didn't have much of that cheesey taste. Other then that everything was great!
