👍👍 🇳🇱 this is a thanks to the 'Happy Bookieman', who invited us to paint by the canal, who invited us to select our favourite books from his bookish collection, who offered us tea, and talked with us about South America in spanglish.

Athenaeum Boekhandel Spui en Nieuwscentrum
Book store
👍👍 The shop is great. I wish there was a shop like this in every city. The employer Marc is the best, and he knows so much stuff about magazines I’ve never heard of. Super good at presenting magazines. Could not leave the shop without buying an incredible book on queer culture. 😎

The School of Life Amsterdam
Training centre
😐 I’m a big fan of the school of life, their books and publications in general. However, I find this particular place lacking in few points, that makes my visits pleasant. First, the seating is quite uncomfortable and unpractical, especially for someone who come with a laptop to work. The bar seating...

De Roos
Metaphysical supply store
👍👍 Lovely place for a healthy lunch! It's right next to the park, so a walk before and/or after is perfect. The place seems to be in an old building and has a book(?) store on the second floor. The food was delicious and fresh! Our meals came promptly and were brought to our table. The staff spoke en...

Reisboekhandel Pied à Terre

👍👍 Wonderful bookstore in the center of Amsterdam. They've recently combined forces with a store that focuses on travel maps and guides, especially those for biking and hiking. The best in the world that I've seen so far. Planning a bike trip in Germany? They've got the maps and guides. Ditto for Fran...

I Amsterdam Store
Tourist information center
👍 I got the digital card, but I’m reviewing here so I can give my thoughts. I bought the 72 hour card, which initially looked quite pricy until I found out the usual ticket prices of the museums here. The card saved me a lot of money and allowed me to visit places I’d normally be priced out of, like t...
