Exploring Amsterdam

My first time in Amsterdam

By Wander with Jill

July 7^th, 2015

I make it a point to travel somewhere at least once a month. I guess one would say I have that Wanderlust in me. Amsterdam has always been on my list of places to go, and a few of my friends were going the same time so I decided to book it last minute. Heres a few photos taken while exploring this European city full of Museums, Canals, and a lot of bikes !

Coffeeshops & Street Art

I was given a list of Coffeeshops to visit. My personal favorite was GreenHouse, only because they served amazing food. Grey area was another shop; it was kind of small but had a great selection.
Street art and graffiti was seen all over the city. I kept running into work by The London Police and Faile. I also got to check out the Lionel Gallery which was hosting an exhibit with much of Banksy’ work.

Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum is a Netherlands 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. I didn't have the time to check out the Museum but I was able to explore the free garden area in the back.
