I don't know what it is about Amsterdam, but people seem more laid back, at ease and just so damn happy - in a rather understated way. I guess it must be a lifestyle. This may have been just me but it also seem very family oriented in all that they do. From seeing little family units biking around the city for leisure or on their way to work or school drop to family walks, family gatherings in cafes and for the sake of enjoying each others company. As vital as visiting the canals or the many museums in the city, a stop to Vondel Park is another must. We couldn't help but stroll through Vondel Park.
Note that you can also rent bikes from within the park. The rentals are close to the entrances.
I visited Amsterdam last summer and it was honestly one of my favourite trips, the atmosphere is everything. Loving these photos!

Looks like fun! I was there in chilly weather as well, but a friend in Amsterdam mentioned that during summer you can rent boats in Vondel to cruise around the canals for a bit - seemed like a pretty chill way to see the city as well.

Hi, I was in Amsterdam twice, and I passed through Vondelpark once with my freinds, it was beautiful summer day in we laid in the grass and enjoed the afternoon. It trully is relaxing place!
ReplyDeleteThat alone makes me wanna go back in the summer!
DeleteLooks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Amsterdam the lakes in Vondelpark were frozen and it was damn cold. I hope to come back one day with more summery weather, the city is so alluring!
That sounds like it would have been cold enough to send me packing back to London.
DeleteAwesome photographs!
