Hey, I'm Alan, and I've been living in this beautiful city for over 27 years, and I'm proud to call it my home. Over the years, I've seen Amsterdam change and grow, but its unique charm and character have always remained. As a seasoned local, I've discovered plenty of fascinating places that you won't find in any guidebook. From hidden gems in off-the-beaten-track areas to the city's top spots for local cuisine, I've got the inside scoop on all the best places to visit. One of my favorite things about Amsterdam is its parks and scenic routes. The city has some incredible green spaces that are perfect for exploring, whether you're looking for a quiet stroll or an invigorating bike ride. I'm an expert in all things local cuisine. Amsterdam has an amazing food scene, and there are so many delicious dishes to try, from traditional Dutch favorites to international specialties. Whether you're interested in shopping, cityscape photography, or just exploring Amsterdam's unique culture and history, I'm here to help!
