Amsterdam is a city that gives me very mixed feelings – without a doubt, it is absolutely stunning with its architecture, shopping streets, and about a million things to do at any time of the day. But because of its popularity, there is always a sense of chaos when you step out of the train station and enter the heart of the city.
I realise that this is what city life is really like – especially in one of the biggest tourist cities in the world – but the crowds in Amsterdam are unlike anything I’ve experienced before. And at night, the city takes on a whole new level of chaos – but this is precisely the best time to experience the city’s real spirit and beauty.
