Are you on your way to Amsterdam? It’s just to congratulate, it’s a city that has everything you would like (but also something you can do without). In this message you will find inspiration, concrete tips and links to facilitate the planning of your trip to the Netherlands.

When my best friend and I turned 30, there was no doubt that we would travel to celebrate this big milestone! We were both pregnant and also had Toddlers at home, which resulted in the following list of the following requirements in our weekend:

A place where none of us had been …
… not too far away from Sweden
Walking -friendly
Good food
Beautiful buildings and good cultural selection

After we had sent some suggestions back and forth, we could both agree to book a weekend in Amsterdam. We walked a lot of good food and went to the museum at the end. If you want to do some research for the coming trip, I have collected some tips in this message. Nice trip!

The message contains advertising links/Adlinks that can give me a small committee if you choose to book accommodation for tips from me.
