THE BEST THAI FOOD in town. Super budget friendly. You can eat with two people for around €15! We choose the 'snackbar' side of the street, but you also have Bird the restaurant, the prices are a bit higher. Same food quality.

Discover traditional Dutch food by going to Moeders ("Mothers"). The food is fresh and authentic and really does taste like how my grandma and mother used to make these dishes. Reservation needed, because it's a popular spot.

Yes! New in our area are the Food Hallen inside the Hallen (I listed it as a street market, because that's the feeling you may get, but it's definitely inside). The Hallen are arranged inside an old tram garage. It has been transformed in a cool hipster place with a hair dresser academy, a bike store, a library, some other small boutiques, a really cool film house/movie theater, and the awesome Food Hallen. It's a large hall inside with various food stands with foods from all over the world: Korean BBQ, Indian grill, sushi, frozen yogurt, Dutch bitterballen, and much more, plus a big bar and a gin&tonic bar. AWESOME! You can definitely enjoy an evening here, movie and food :-)

The Anne Frank House shows a significant portion of the history of Amsterdam during World War II and the experience of the Frank Family as they were hiding out in the attic. The home has been kept in tact as much as possible. It's a very moving experience. Definitely buy your ticket way in advance online, or stand in line for a few hours.

Enkhuizen is the name of the city. I list this as a museum, because this town is known for their 'open air museum' which is particularly interesting in the summer (when it's actually open). You can see how the Dutch used to live and dress and you can even get dressed up in the traditional attire and play the old games.

This street, as an extension of Haarlemmerstraat, has small shops, boutiques, and cafes, which is a refreshing difference from the highstreet shopping area of the Kalverstraat (which is near the Dam). I really enjoy the Haarlemmerdijk & straat because it exudes the old times of Amsterdam.

Every Monday from 9:00am-1:00pm there's the famous Lapjesmarkt on the Westerstraat in the Jordaan. The whole street is then filled with stands of fabrics. Some also sell other things, like scarves. This market attaches to the Noordermarkt with clothes and nicknacks from all over the world. Often the fabric stands stop shop around 12:30pm, so don't wait until the last moment. The Noordermarkt continues a bit longer though.

The Hague (Den Haag) is very easily reachable by train. It's the political capital of the Netherlands (Amsterdam is the capital), with the international court. It's a beautiful old city. The town Wassenaar is attached to Den Haag, it's the small city where many royalty and other very wealthy people live. It's amazing to see their houses. Also, Scheveningen, the beach time, is attached to Den Haag. Nice beaches, good foods and drinks, and it also has our national musical theater that hosts all the large musical productions in the Circus Theater.
