\nOne of the main advantages of living in Switzerland, is being within 1-3 hours of most European cities. I chose Amsterdam this time as it had been years since my last visit and it was also on my boyfriend\u2019s bucket list ! I am lucky to have one of my closest friends living there as well as my cousin which meant that this time, we didn\u2019t need to book a hotel. I could have walked the streets of Amsterdam for days, I love the red brick buildings, all the little shops near the canals, the vibrant cosmopolitan feel to the place. I think I may have a new favourite city. We didn\u2019t get to do half the things we would have liked to have done so we shall definitely be back in the new year.
\n\"IMG_0119\"
\nSo what are the top things I recommend you do when you go to Amsterdam:<\/p>\n

Jordaan District<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>This is probably my favourite place in Amsterdam. I loved all the narrow streets, little quirky boutiques, the market, the architecture, the canals\u2026 Basically EVERYTHING about it.
\n\"IMG_0425\"
\nDon\u2019t miss out on:<\/p>\n

Lindengracht Market in Amsterdam\u00a0<\/strong>Lindengracht\u00a01015 KJ Amsterdam OPEN 09.h00 \u2013 16h00<\/h4>\n

This market attracts locals and tourists alike. Get carried away by the colours of the flower stalls, the variety of Gouda cheese wheels, fresh fish and seafood, the incredible loafs of bread. There are even some gluten free and vegan options ! There is literally something for everyone!
\n\"IMG_0573\"\"a3\"<\/p>\n

Brunch at Gs – Really Nice Place<\/h4>\n

http:\/\/www.reallyniceplace.com\/<\/a>
\nThis place is an absolute must !! You can\u2019t leave without having one of their Bloody Mary\u2019s but choose wisely as the list is extensive and potentially life-threatening (just kidding\u2026) They did have fried chicken waffles on the menu which was very tempting but we kept it simple with delicious avocados and poached eggs on toast.
\n\"a2\"\"IMG_0251\"\"a4\"\"IMG_0472\"
\nTo help digest from your brunch take a walk along the beautiful streets in Jordaan, don\u2019t forget to stop by the Mint Mini Mall (http:\/\/www.mintminimall.nl\/<\/a>) for a lovely collection of accessories, homeware & clothing for him, her and little ones.
\n\"IMG_0167\"\"IMG_0162\"\"IMG_0161\"\"IMG_0160\"\"IMG_0159\"\"IMG_0156\"
\nIf you are a fan of chesterfield style then you will also love Vormenstijl (http:\/\/www.vormenstijl.com<\/a>) the smell of leather hits you as you walk in and they have a gorgeous collection of armchairs and sofas on display.
\n\"IMG_0182\"\"IMG_0178\"\"IMG_0176\"\"IMG_0181\"
\nI am sure there is still yet so much to uncover in this part of town !!<\/p>\n

Amsterdam West<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rozengracht street <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Stumbled upon this street on our way from Jordann District to the centre of the city. We found some great little shops you have to check out.
\nMy favourite was Raw Materials (http:\/\/rawmaterials.nl<\/a>) this is a homeware and furniture store filled with so many wonderful products. A couple run this unique store and they deliver worldwide. I would have bought out the entire shop there and then if I could have !
\n\"IMG_0223\"\"IMG_0221\"\"IMG_0220\"\"IMG_0217\"\"Unknown\"\"IMG_0207\"\"IMG_0210\"\"IMG_0211\"
\nAnother fun little concept store was just across the street from Raw Materials, Hutspot (http:\/\/www.hutspot.com<\/a>) Hutspot started as a small successful pop-up store in the Utrechtsestraat. It searches for new and interesting brands, designers, artists and entrepreneurs, offering them the chance to expose their products in their own space within the shops.
\n\"IMG_0226\"\"IMG_0229\"\"IMG_0235\"\"IMG_0238\"\"IMG_0243\"\"IMG_0241\"\"IMG_0242\"<\/p>\n

Amsterdam South-West<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There isn\u2019t too much going on in this part of the city but we randomly came across the NJOY bar (https:\/\/www.njoycocktails.com<\/a>) <\/strong>and this tiny little exclusive place makes incredible cocktails. It is a really small bar, you must ring the doorbell and wait for one of the barmen to let you in. I think this must put a few people off. But head down the stairs and do your best to pick a cocktail. THEY ARE ALL GOOD!
\n\"IMG_0281\"\"IMG_0273\"<\/p>\n

De Pijp<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The vibrant district of De Pijp is hustling and bustling with amazing eateries, sidewalk cafes and charming bars. So what did we do here?
\nWe started with the Rijksmuseum (https:\/\/www.rijksmuseum.nl\/en<\/a>) <\/strong>
\nI highly recommend you book tickets online as the queue is quite long for this museum. The Rijksmuseum is a Dutch national museum dedicated to arts and history in Amsterdam. The museum is located at the Museum Square in the borough Amsterdam South, close to the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and the Concertgebouw. This museum closes at 5pm so make sure you put enough time aside for this visit.
\nBut Sara being Sara, we did check out a few delicious places to eat.
\nHead to Little Collins<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.littlecollins.nl<\/a>) for a special brunch. The menu is definitely mouth-watering and the drinks list is equally amazing. I would highly recommend the green eggs and ham, trust me on this one!! Just try to book in advance, if not you can turn up but chances are you will have about a 45mins \u2013 1hour wait.
\n\"IMG_0321\"\"IMG_0324\"
\nFor a chic lunch or dinner you need to Hoed & Krelis (http:\/\/hoedenkrelis.nl<\/a>)<\/strong>, if the stunning interior doesn\u2019t impress you then I hope the menu does. The inside is adorned with green velvet chairs, gold detailing, wood and the most beautiful tableware. On the menu, you can pick from oysters, beef, burrata, fish and seafood. There is something for everyone<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0283\"\"IMG_0288\"
\nAs we were in Amsterdam and near the sea, I absolutely had to have some seafood. We had walked by The Seafood Bar<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.theseafoodbar.com<\/a>) the previous evening and knew that we just had to go here. The Seafood Bar is a modern restaurant and offers an array of the freshest fish and other seafood.
\nI really don\u2019t need to say too much about this eatery, I think the photos do all the talking!
\n\"IMG_0413\"\"IMG_0409\"\"IMG_0411\"
\n\"a6.jpg\"<\/p>\n

De 9 Straatjes or in English The 9 Streets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you are looking for design boutiques, interesting clothing stores, vintage shops, accessories, gifts, then you must take a stroll between the canals and enjoy the artsy atmosphere the 9 streets has to offer. Unfortunately, it was such a miserable and wet day when we were there so I wasn\u2019t able to enjoy it as much.
\n\"IMG_0340\"\"IMG_0311\"\"IMG_0316\"\"IMG_0317\"\"IMG_0327\"\"IMG_0328\"\"IMG_0334\"\"IMG_0335\"\"IMG_0339\"\"IMG_0343\"
\nI finished my trip with a little pampering in the de Bijenkorf to get our nails done.
\nThat is all from me about our trip to Amsterdam. I hope you enjoy your visit as much as I did.

Le week-end parfait \u00e0 Amsterdam<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Etre \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 de la plupart des grandes villes Europ\u00e9enne est l’un des avantages d\u2019habiter en Suisse. J’ai choisi Amsterdam cette fois-ci car cela faisait des ann\u00e9es que je n\u2019\u00e9tais plus retourn\u00e9e et c’\u00e9tait aussi sur la liste d\u2019endroits \u00e0 visiter de mon homme. J’ai la chance d’avoir une de mes amies la plus proche vivant l\u00e0-bas ainsi que ma cousine. Ce qui signifie que cette fois-ci, nous n’avons pas eu besoin de r\u00e9server un h\u00f4tel. J’ai vraiment ador\u00e9 cette ville et j\u2019aurais pu me promener \u00e0 longueur de journ\u00e9e dans toutes les rues d’Amsterdam. J\u2019ai beaucoup appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 l\u2019architecture des b\u00e2timents en brique rouge, tous les petits magasins pr\u00e8s des canaux et l\u2019ambiance cosmopolite. Je pense que c\u2019est ma nouvelle ville pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e. Nous n’avons pas pu faire la moiti\u00e9 des choses que nous aurions aim\u00e9 faire, donc nous reviendrons certainement en 2018.
\n\"24093990_10159746444400066_969394134_o\"
\nAlors, quelles sont les choses que je vous recommande de faire quand vous allez \u00e0 Amsterdam:<\/p>\n

Jordaan District<\/strong><\/h4>\n

C’est probablement mon endroit pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e0 Amsterdam. J’ai aim\u00e9 toutes les rues \u00e9troites, les petites boutiques originales, le march\u00e9, l’architecture, les canaux … Bref, l\u2019ensemble du quartier.
\n\"IMG_0425\"
\nNe manquez pas:
\nLe march\u00e9 Lindengracht,\u00a0<\/strong>Lindengracht\u00a01015 KJ Amsterdam OUVERT 09h00 – 16h00
\nCe march\u00e9 attire les locaux et les touristes. Laissez-vous emporter par les couleurs des stands de fleurs, la vari\u00e9t\u00e9 des meules de fromage Gouda, le choix de poisson frais et des fruits de mer ainsi que l\u2019odeur incroyable du pain. Il y a m\u00eame des options sans gluten et v\u00e9g\u00e9tariennes!
\n\"IMG_0573\"\"a3\"\"IMG_0109\"\"IMG_0093\"
\nBrunch au Gs \u2013 Really nice place<\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/www.reallyniceplace.com\/<\/a>
\nCet endroit est un must absolu !! Vous ne pouvez pas partir sans avoir d\u00e9guster l\u2019un de leur Bloody Mary’s mais choisissez judicieusement car la liste est longue et potentiellement mortelle (je plaisante …) Le menu propose des plats inspir\u00e9s par la culture US comme des gaufres avec du poulet frit qui nous tentait un peu, mais nous sommes rest\u00e9s simple avec deux plats de d\u00e9licieux avocats et \u0153ufs poch\u00e9s sur toast.
\n\"a4\"\"IMG_0472\"\"a2\"\"IMG_0251\"
\nPour vous aider \u00e0 dig\u00e9rer votre brunch, promenez-vous dans les jolies rues de Jordaan, n’oubliez pas de vous arr\u00eater au Mint Mini Mall<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.mintminimall.nl\/<\/a>) pour une belle collection d’accessoires, d’articles m\u00e9nagers et de v\u00eatements pour lui, elle et les petits.
\n\"24093990_10159746444400066_969394134_o\"\"IMG_0162\"\"IMG_0156\"\"IMG_0158\"\"IMG_0169\"
\nSi vous \u00eates un fan du Chesterfield alors vous aimerez aussi Vormenstijl<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.vormenstijl.com<\/a>) l’odeur du cuir vous emporte lorsque vous passez le seuil et ils ont une magnifique collection de fauteuils et canap\u00e9s en exposition.
\n\"IMG_0182\"\"IMG_0176\"\"IMG_0178\"\"IMG_0181\"
\nJe suis certaine qu’il y a tellement plus \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir dans cette partie de la ville mais le temps nous \u00e9tait compt\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Amsterdam Ouest<\/h3>\n

Rue Rozengracht<\/h4>\n

Nous sommes tomb\u00e9s sur cette rue en quittant le district de Jordann en direction du centre ville. Nous avons trouv\u00e9 d’excellents petits magasins \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir.
\nMon pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 est Raw Materials<\/strong> (http:\/\/rawmaterials.nl<\/a>) c’est un magasin avec de meubles et de d\u00e9corations g\u00e9r\u00e9 par un couple n\u00e9erlandais. Unique dans ce genre il propose des articles d\u2019un look usage et retro et ils livrent dans le monde entier. J’aurais achet\u00e9 tout le magasin si j\u2019avais pu.
\n\"IMG_0223\"\"IMG_0219\"\"IMG_0209\"\"IMG_0210\"\"IMG_0208\"\"IMG_0215\"\"IMG_0205\"
\nUn autre petit concept store sympa \u00e9tait juste en face de Raw Materials, Hutspot<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.hutspot.com<\/a>). Hutspot a commenc\u00e9 comme un petit magasin pop-up qui a eu beaucoup de succ\u00e8s en Utrechtsestraat. Il recherche de nouvelles marques, des designers, des artistes et des entrepreneurs int\u00e9ressants, en leur offrant la possibilit\u00e9 d’exposer leurs produits dans leurs magasins.
\n\"IMG_0226\"\"IMG_0227\"\"IMG_0229\"\"IMG_0235\"\"IMG_0244\"\"IMG_0243\"<\/p>\n

Amsterdam Sud-Ouest<\/h3>\n

Nous n\u2019avons pas pass\u00e9 beaucoup de temps dans ce secteur de la ville mais nous sommes tomb\u00e9s au hasard sur le bar NJOY<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.njoycocktails.com<\/a>) et ce minuscule endroit exclusif fait des cocktails incroyables. C’est un tr\u00e8s petit bar o\u00f9 il faut sonner \u00e0 la porte et attendre que l’un des barmen vous laisse entrer. Cela peut d\u00e9courager certains. Mais il vaut clairement la peine de s\u2019y arr\u00eater pour prendre un cocktail. Ils sont tous bons!
\n\"IMG_0272\"\"IMG_0281\"<\/p>\n

De Pijp<\/h3>\n

Le quartier de De Pijp est anim\u00e9 avec des restaurants, des boutiques, des mus\u00e9es, des caf\u00e9s et des bars. Alors qu’avons-nous fait ici?
\nNous avons commenc\u00e9 avec le Rijksmuseum<\/strong> (www.rijksmuseum.nl\/en<\/a>)
\nJe vous recommande fortement de r\u00e9server des billets en ligne car la file d’attente est assez longue pour ce mus\u00e9e. Le Rijksmuseum est un mus\u00e9e national n\u00e9erlandais consacr\u00e9 aux arts et \u00e0 l’histoire du pays .Le mus\u00e9e est situ\u00e9 dans le quartier d’Amsterdam Sud, \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 du mus\u00e9e Van Gogh, du mus\u00e9e Stedelijk d’Amsterdam et du Concertgebouw. Ce mus\u00e9e ferme \u00e0 17h alors assurez-vous de ne pas arriver trop tard
\nMais Sara \u00e9tant Sara, nous avons quand m\u00eame trouv\u00e9 des bons endroits o\u00f9 manger dans les alentours.
\nDirigez-vous vers Little Collins<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.littlecollins.nl<\/a>) pour un brunch. Le menu est vraiment app\u00e9tissant et la liste des boissons est tout aussi d\u00e9licieuse. Je recommande vivement les \u0153ufs verts et jambon, faites moi confiance sur le choix !! R\u00e9servez \u00e0 l\u2019avance ou soyez pr\u00eat \u00e0 1 heure d\u2019attente lorsque vous vous pr\u00e9senterez au bar.
\n\"IMG_0321\"\"IMG_0324\"
\nPour un d\u00e9jeuner ou un d\u00eener chic, rendez vous au Hoed & Krelis<\/strong>. Si la d\u00e9coration ne vous impressionne pas alors j’esp\u00e8re que le menu le fera. L’int\u00e9rieur est orn\u00e9 de chaises en velours vert avec des d\u00e9tails en or, des meubles en bois et de la vaisselle \u00e9tincelante. Au menu, vous avez le choix parmi des hu\u00eetres, du b\u0153uf, de la burrata, du poisson et des fruits de mer. Vous allez vous r\u00e9galer.
\n\"19620497_823595307804122_8883414626967089925_o\"\"19904890_829071373923182_6124070972219531315_n\"\"23517960_887213754775610_2975792343931966196_n\"\"IMG_0287\"\"IMG_0283\"
\nComme nous \u00e9tions \u00e0 Amsterdam et pr\u00e8s de la mer, je devais absolument manger du poisson frais et des fruits de mer. Lors de notre dernier soir\u00e9e nous sommes all\u00e9s au bar \u00e0 poisson, le \u201cSeafood Bar<\/strong>\u201d (http:\/\/www.theseafoodbar.com<\/a>) Ce restaurant propose des plateaux garni de plusieurs sortes de poissons et de crustac\u00e9s. C\u2019\u00e9tait d\u00e9licieux et j\u2019ai beaucoup appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 l\u2019ambiance.
\n\"IMG_0413\"\"IMG_0411\"\"IMG_0409\"\"a6\"<\/p>\n

De 9 Straatjes ou en fran\u00e7ais Les 9 rues<\/h3>\n

Si vous recherchez des boutiques de design, des magasins de v\u00eatements int\u00e9ressants, des boutiques vintage, des accessoires, des cadeaux, alors allez faire un tour dans ce quartier et profiter de l’atmosph\u00e8re artistique. Malheureusement pour nous, nous y \u00e9tions lors d\u2019un dimanche froid et pluvieux. Cela a r\u00e9duit immanquablement l\u2019envie d\u2019y passer plus de temps et de profiter des boutique nordiques.
\n\"IMG_0334\"\"IMG_0330\"\"IMG_0328\"\"IMG_0311\"\"IMG_0316\"\"IMG_0340\"\"IMG_0339\"\"IMG_0343\"\"IMG_0327\"\"IMG_0317\"
\nJ’ai termin\u00e9 mon voyage en me faisant chouchouter au Bijenkorf, immense centre commercial du m\u00eame style que Lafayette. Vous le trouverez pr\u00e8s de la grande Dam Square
\nJ\u2019esp\u00e8re que ces petites propositions vous on plu. Ce n\u2019est pas grand chose mais c\u2019est tout ce que j\u2019ai pu faire lors de mon s\u00e9jour la bas. J\u2019esp\u00e8re pouvoir y ajouter quelques bons endroit si j\u2019ai l\u2019occasion d\u2019y retourner durant les beaux jours.
