Prinseneiland

Prinseneiland is a nice small street, well hidden on the island with the same name. I discovered it by chance, when I went to this quiet, almost tourist-free area to take pictures of the interesting boats that can be found there. I was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful houses with red (and sometimes black) shutters covering all windows and doors. Now picturesque and very expensive homes, in the past these were all warehouses, used for sto…

How to spend 24 hours in Amsterdam

This will have to be decided based on that day’s cra…

…area where I lived for most of my years in Amsterdam: the Haarlemmerdijk — Prinseneiland — Westerpark area. I wasn’t happy with the fact that the streets were very busy, but I was happy to see them again and my walk was filled with nostalgia. The place where I used to eat my lunch, where I would meet friends for coffee, even a visit to the Marqt supermarket was nostalgic, since there is no Marqt in Alkmaar, where I live now. The lockdown kept me a…

Amsterdam Gardens. Spend the Summer Surrounded by Flowers

…Zentuin On a little corner of Bickersgracht, a beautiful little street on Prinseneiland, you will find a green oasis next to the water. This garden is maintained by the people living on that street and they are doing a great job! This is the spot where the yellow submarine is anchored and it was my favourite lunch spot for years, when I used to work close by. When I wanted to be alone and have a break from my colleagues, I would take my lunch and…

Foggy afternoon on Westelijke Eilanden

After a glorious, sunny start of the day, a dense fog covered the city in the afternoon. Amsterdam in the fog is simply beautiful. I left work earlier and went for a walk around some of my favourite places in this city: Westelijke Eilanden and Oude Houthaven. As the darkness was quickly falling, I enjoyed the silence of the old port and the misterious foggy waters. Stay tuned for more and follow Amsterdamian on Instagram and Facebook for daily st…
