5 Reasons Why I Love Amsterdam | QueenBeady

When I (often) discuss my love for Amsterdam I am quite frequently met with a glazed expression and the question, “of all the places in the world, Amsterdam?” and my answer is and always will be, YES. I have travelled to Amsterdam numerous times over the years with Mr C and I have also visited as a young child on countless occassions to visit family friends in Holland. It feels like I should have been born there. I feel so familiar with the destination that I’d happily walk the streets on my own, on a night. That can’t be said for various towns & cities in the UK. Not that I have to explain myself, but I thought if I could persuade you all with my 5 reasons why I love Amsterdam, you might just all come round…

A Weekend in Amsterdam #3 | QueenBeady

Okay, okay – you might think I’m dragging our short weekend in Amsterdam out a little bit, but truth be told, there is a heck of lot of ground to cover! You can read part 1 here and part 2 here.

First on the agenda was breakfast. But it turned more in to Brunch by the time we had lazily got up and showered. We had spotted this super cute and pretty funky art café on Overtoom called Friday Next. Adorned with really cool interior pieces and gifts, there was so much to look at whilst we ate our delicious eggs and bacon! Plus, it was the first time I’ve ever drunk tea out of a tall glass!

A Weekend in Amsterdam #1 | QueenBeady

My love for Amsterdam is fit to burst. I’m not sure I have enough room in my heart to love that place anymore than I already do, yet, I still manage to fall in love a little bit more each time we visit. This will be the fifth time James & I have visited the wonderful City together (I used to travel as a child to visit family friends) but each time we find a little bit of the city that we hadn’t explored before. We usually spend 3 nights or more visiting however the lack of annual leave meant we could only fit a 2 night break in before Christmas.
