Craving delicious food AND cocktails this weekend? Amsterdam is bursting with spots to enjoy brunch and sip unlimited mimosas. Aka: a boozy brunch! I’ve put my liver to the test (someone’s gotta do it!) and found the best places for you. Here’s to your weekend… and the afternoon naps that follow!
Oysters: you hate them or you love them. I love them. Especially when they are free! Did you know you can pick oysters for free in the Netherlands? Just go to Zeeland. My friends and I have declared our Zeeland oyster expedition an annual tradition. Tag along!
Amsterdam is, of course, full of restaurants. But suppose you want a special dinner, not necessarily with Michelin stars, but definitely a memorable evening. A dining experience. That is possible. Quickly check where you can have a unique dinner in and around Amsterdam.
Pampus was once nothing more than a shipping channel. That is hard to imagine when you visit Forteiland Pampus now. You can explore the fort, hang out on the terrace, eat delicious food, and even join workshops. So, let’s hop on the ferry and discover Pampus!
If you want to eat oysters and mussels where they come from in the Netherlands, you have to go to Zeeland—to Yerseke, to be exact. I’m joining a boat tour with mussel lunch on a sandbank (so cool!), and of course, I won’t miss a visit to one of the restaurants for even more mussels and oysters.
Picturesque and idyllic. That’s how Monnickendam is usually described. The words are a bit cliché to describe a town, but they are wholly justified in this case. Because wow, what a cute town it is. So let’s see what you can do in Monnickendam on a day trip from Amsterdam.
Do you feel like you could use some inner peace and me-time? A yoga holiday or yoga weekend in the Netherlands is wonderfully relaxing and consists of so much more than just yoga. Fantastic accommodations, beautiful walks, healthy food, and more. Check the list with great options for yoga retreats in the Netherlands.
Those who love puns and camels are in the right place at Kamelenmelkerij Smits. Cheerful camel farmer Frank takes us on a camel safari for more than two hours on the camel dairy farm (kamelenmelkerij in Dutch) in Berlicum.
Thanks to the Australian television series McLeod’s Daughters, I am walking with an alpaca through the Drenthe forests today. Near Steenwijk, Yvonne and Peter from AlpacaOord provide forest walks with alpacas. They were one of the first to organize the walks.
