On the 14th September I went to Amsterdam for the week. We got the coach to Amsterdam, and I would NOT recommend it. It took 15 hours and it was just awful, but it was so worth it when we got there. It is such a surreal place. It doesn't have that busy city vibe like London or Paris but it certainly isn't lacking in character. We spent pretty much everyday walking around and exploring.
On the first full day I knew what I wanted to do, which was go to Monki. Anyone who knows me knows that this is my shop, I LOVE MONKI. And it didn't disappoint, I could have bought everything in there ahhhhhhh. I was actually very good and only let myself buy one thing. I'll be doing an outfit post soon! Also this is probably THE best place for vintage shops. When I go back I would set one day just for hunting through the vintage shops as there is so many, you could spend hours in there!
We then went to see one of my favourite bands, Basement. They were supporting Brand New at the Melkweg. I think I could watch Basement everyday they were incredible and worth a 15 hour journey to watch. Having not really been a fan of Brand New I was surprised at how much I liked their set, their stage presence is insane, soooo good. (Go listen to Basement you won't regret it )
If you're going to Amsterdam anytime soon I would say the best museum to check out is the Museum of Prostitution. It was the most interesting one we went too and wasn't that expensive! I was quite surprised ha ha. I'd have loved to have gone to the Van Gogh museum but we ran out of time booooo.
I would so recommend Amsterdam if you're looking for a good city break with a lot of walking around and exploring! I will definitely be going back one day. The people are so friendly and welcoming wherever you go in Amsterdam and its such a pretty place. I felt like I was in a Sims 3 town or something.
