Amsterdam Travel Stories

Amsterdam Travel Stories – A Different Way to Explore the City

I created Amsterdam Travel Stories for travelers who seek more than just the typical hotspots. This guide is a personal selection of 35 inspiring places where you can experience the city through art, sustainable brands, peaceful green spaces, timeless classics, and hidden gems — all lovingly and passionately run. It's about slow traveling: taking the time to truly see Amsterdam, away from the crowds.

Planning a trip can be overwhelming with so much information available. That’s exactly why I made this guide — to offer a carefully curated collection of places that inspire me, so you don’t have to spend hours searching. These addresses invite you to explore the city in a more authentic and mindful way.

As a photographer, I never travel without my camera. Through this guide, I hope to inspire you to view the city with a photographer’s eye — noticing the little things, the quiet beauty, the unexpected moments.

There’s also space for your own notes, making it not just a guide but a personal keepsake of your trip. Add your own discoveries and pass it on, or cherish it as a memory of your adventures.

I hope this guide enriches your journey and invites you to experience Amsterdam in a new, timeless way.

Happy travels!
