Pretty much everyone I know has been to Amsterdam, but somehow I missed the boat.
But with the Rijksmuseum finally reopening after ten years, I decided not to wait anymore, so this August I’m finally going for a long weekend in the city!
HOW TO DO IT:
- Go: There are lots of options for flights, but it only takes 4h40 on the Eurostar, which is more convenient.
- Stay: Accommodation is not particularly cheap, but there are options for all tastes.
- Do: for a cultural break, follow the Rijksmuseum with a visit to Anne Frank’s house and the Van Gogh museum.
