Canal Houses on Keizersgracht
Reguliersgracht is one of the must-see attractions in Amsterdam offering picture perfect views of canals and bridges. The intersection of Reguliersgracht and Keizersgracht features on many Amsterdam postcards.
Café Papeneiland
Evening stroll in Amsterdam led me to Café Papeneiland on the corner of Brouwersgracht and Prinsengracht. One of the most scenic and peaceful neighbourhoods in the city centre.
Damrak Canal Houses At Night
Daytime and nighttime, Amsterdam is a beautiful city! These canal house are located at Damrak which is just a few minutes from Amsterdam Central Station.
Pythonbrug
Pythonbrug is an award-winning footbridge crossing over the Railroad Basin in Amsterdam’s regenerated Eastern docklands. The red snake-like bridge which was built in 2001 links the former docks now named Sporenburg and Borneo Island.
Pythonbrug is one of a set of three bridges in the area designed by architects West 3. It’s about 15 minutes by bike from Amsterdam Centraal and also accessible via tram. It’s a really peaceful area to visit and relax away from the busyness of Amsterdam’s city centre.

Groenburgwal Canal and Zuiderkerk
The bridge connecting Staalstraat over Groenburgwal canal is a great location to view the Zuiderkerk tower. The church tower dates back to 1614 and was designed by architect Hendrick de Keyser. This tower has a carillon, a set of tuned brass bells which can be heard twice per week. Concerts are given on Tuesday’s at 14:30 and Saturday’s at 19:00.

Portuguese Synagogue Amsterdam
The Portuguese-Israeli Synagogue is a late 17th-century Sephardic synagogue in Amsterdam. It is also known as the Esnoga which is the Ladino word for synagogue. The construction of the synagogue was completed in 1675. In January 2012 Israeli Prime-Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described this as “one of the most beautiful synagogues I have ever seen.” Portuguese Synagogue Amsterdam
Hilversum heide
Hilversum is just 20 minutes by train from Amsterdam. As well, as being the media capital of The Netherlands, it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Highland cows can be found grazing on the open moors between North Hilversum and Laren. There’s also a media museum in Hilversum housed in an impressive modern building. #highland #highlandCow #moor #silhouette #sunset #hei #heide #hilversum #laren #holland #netherlands
Yellow Submarine at Bickersgracht
A warm sunny Saturday in Amsterdam and everyone’s out and about. Except that is in Prinseneiland which remains peaceful and picturesque. This has to be my favourite part of Amsterdam. Everything you want except and expect from this city except for te crowds. What I wasn’t expecting was a petting zoo and a yellow submarine. About a year ago, there were many reports that the vessel would be removed as a result a Waternet’s court order. However, it’s great to see that it’s still here, brightening up the neighbourhood! The diversity, creativity and quirkiness of this city continues to amaze me!
