It’s a beautiful autumn and Amsterdam is yellow again. Winter might be approaching quickly, but the city still has one last show to perform for this season: the colours change every day, street by street and tree by tree. Don’t miss it, it would be a shame — soon everything will be grey!

…a small scale; the bicycles, coming in all shapes and sizes; the romantic canals and bridges; a swan dancing on the water at sunset… or the incredible light enveloping them all. Perhaps it’s the unique entrances with their ubiquitous bicycles and flower pots in front, the mirror-like windows and the cats; the bricks; the clouds; the people; but most of all the unique feeling that Amsterdam gives you.

Last Sunday my recently installed health app announced me that I have a new record to celebrate: over 14.000 steps!

I cycle all over Amsterdam almost every day, come rain or shine, on my pinkish-purple, basket-fitted bike. I go by bike to work, to meet people, or shopping. Basically anywhere I need to go. But I’ve never been on an organised bike tour until now. When the guys from We Bike Amsterdam invited me to go for a city tour with them, I thought it wasn’t actually a bad idea!

…re not “small” or “big” versions of Venice. There are no gondolas on their canals, or, if there are, they are probably the most kitsch things that you will see (or they were forcedly introduced by someone that feels the need to compare the city with Venice in the hope that they’ll get more money). I have heard tourists complaining about the fact that, “Amsterdam is not Venice, not by far!” Well, if you want to see Venice, you should go to Venice,…
