Highlights of Amsterdam!

avatar
(Edited)

Being in Amsterdam for HiveFest was such a great experience. Here are highlights of the city from the four days I spent there.

I flew into the Amsterdam Airpot Schiphol and took the train to Amsterdam Central. What a gorgeous building. It was designed by Pierre Cuypers and built in 1889.




One of the best things about HiveFest is that @roeland scheduled the meetings and events in places so that we got to see Amsterdam.

The Eye Museum


Foodhal Mooie Boules

Zuiderkerk

Karz De Hopp Rowing club in Amsterdam

There was also a canal tour!

In addition to the places we went for HiveFest I also went to some restaurants, gardens and art museums.

Restaurants

Here is a post I did Restaurant Review: 6 restaurants in Amsterdam.

Nomad aan het IJRijksKarz De Hopp

I did in depth posts about Nomad aan het IJ and Rijks, they were so awesome!

I ate VERY WELL in Amsterdam!

The first day @asgarth and I went to a lot of cheese shops. I should have got some of the cheese! I am still craving it.

Gardens

The two gardens I went to are the Rijksmuseum Garden, to see Barbara Hepworth, and to Hortus Botanicus Garden.

Public Transportation

The public transportation was great in Amsterdam. I told myself I should ride a bike while I am there. I didn't.... Next time.

Canals

I really enjoyed walking all over Amsterdam. The canals and architecture were wonderful. Here is a post of the Canals of Amsterdam



Art

If you have been reading my posts for the past couple of months you will know that favorite part of Amsterdam was the art!

I went to the Rembrandt House Museum, The van Gogh Museum, The van Loon Museum, and The Rijksmuseum.

I got to see so much Dutch art and it was amazing. Most notable are Rembrandt and Van Gogh.

Rembrandt

There is a great collection of Rembrandt at both the Rijksmuseum and at the Rembrandt House Museum.

van Gogh

What a privilege it was to be able to go to the van Gogh museum and see so many of his paintings in person. I listened to Lust for Life again and did this post Art Talk: Vincent Van Gogh- It is a look at his life through his paintings!

Art Talk: Van Gogh Museum Highlight Tour


Van Loon Museum

This is a historic house of the van Loon family located in downtown Amsterdam.


Rijksmuseum

My favorite place in Amsterdam!

I am a big fan of museum tours. I learn so much. I went one a lot of tours at the Rijksmuseum and saw and learned about the Dutch Masters, Pierre Cuypers and the building itself, and went on a highlight tour too.


Here is a cool post of the Hands that I found in the museums.

Amsterdam!

I would love to return to this great city and explore more restaurants and museums, ride a bike, walk the streets and see the great architecture and canals.


I also made this cool post Textures of Amsterdam which is a visual highlight of my time in this great city. Thanks @pinmapple!

If you are thinking of going to Amsterdam I made a @peakD collection of peoples posts of Amsterdam through the years here-Amsterdam.

One of the best thing about Hive is that people from all over the world live and trave land post there thoughts and experiences! We can learn so much from each other!

I will look forward to going to Asia again. I lived there in 1999 and 2000 in Taiwan. I would love to travel around more of Asia, especially South Korea, Philippines and Vietnam.
