Goodbye Amsterdam, Hello Edinburgh!
Dankjewel Amsterdam! Our European Tour landed us in exciting Amsterdam where bikes have the right-of-way and houses whimsically reach for the skies. This central merchant city has attracted cultures from around the world and offers so much more than a red lighted street. Once again, we're here to break it down for you in our quick guide:
1. A treat to eat: Stroopwafels
Combining the sweetness of caramel and richness of waffles, these delectable cookies will have you licking the crumbs off your plate. As we were mourning our Stroopwafels at the airport we came across a brilliant fusion of American and Dutch sweets. Introducing....the Stroopwafel McFlurry! Warning: item tends to disappear quickly.
2. A sight to see: Door 74
This uber trendy lounge has no sign and only the locals know they need to make reservations beforehand. Seasonal cocktails and soothing background music make this the perfect place to enjoy a local speakeasy and classic cocktail.
3. A host to meet: Our Host Kevin
A native Bostonian, host Kevin has an incredible apartment with views of the canals and walking distance to everywhere you want to be. Given our limited time, Kevin still managed to take us to a phenomenal Chinese restaurant and the oldest church in town- the Oude Kerk.
As a geographically central city, Amsterdam should be a jumping off point for your own European tour! Keep following along at airbnb.com/eurotour as we travel through Edinburgh and Dublin next!
