« It's all like this: super old Amsterdam + super modern innovations. By the way, there are almost no high rises in Amsterdam. The main buildings are 2-6 stories high. This mix of old facades (and interiors!) with high-tech feels amazing. 🤗 🚲 There are cars, but not too many. There’s no parking here, and the city has a car tax (even if you don’t use it, you still have to pay). If you don't pay, there are severe fines and insurance issues that accumulate quickly. A month of delay can cost around 400 euros, and much more after that. Parking costs about 24 euros a day – just think about it before you decide to drive instead of using public transport. 🚍🚋🚌 (A ticket from Amsterdam to The Hague, about a 50-minute trip, costs around 13 euros, while a public transport day ticket in the city is about 3.50 euros, and a single ride is about 7.5 euros). Or you could just bike! 🚲 (Rental bikes start at around 14 euros a day). »
One of the main reasons why I love Holland is the beautiful and affordable flowers ❤️
A bouquet of 50 tulips for €10. And this is even before the season really starts – later you might get such a bouquet for €6, and by the end of the day, it can be even cheaper 😂 The only challenge is choosing from all this beauty 😍 That’s why sometimes I just rush to the market and grab 3 bouquets when I can’t decide – daffodils, tulips, or roses 🙈 Meanwhile, these gorgeous flowers add a lovely touch to the home!
And now tulips start appearing here from the beginning of winter – they pop up at the markets just as the first frosts arrive, typically at the end of November ⛄
Here, they truly don’t often gift flowers to girls as a compliment, probably because they don't think of it as something special, and they stay at home all year round 😊 You might even say that certificates or gifts are universal gifts – €20 – perfect for any occasion 😅 But that’s a totally different story :) »
There, you can not only soak up the beauty of the magnificent North Sea 🌊, but also take a ride on the giant Ferris wheel. 🎡
The entrance to the Skyview de Pier costs just €10 💰. Of course, a couple of rounds would be enough, but you'll be treated to a full four rounds! 😄
I guarantee you a stunning view of the coastline! 🙌 »
