springinthenetherlands

Tuliptime in the Netherlands. Every year in the spring you can admire the flower fields. It starts with crocuses, then hyacinths and daffodils and then tulips. It’s nice to rent a bicycle and explore the area around Lisse.

colorful bikes 2

Colorful bikes. When you are walking around Amsterdam, often you will encounter these colorful creations on bridges. They are made by Warren Gregory, also known as the Flowerbikeman. You can’t help but smile when you see them, which is exactly what the Flowerbikeman wants to achieve. In his words: “I sell smiles for free”.

street markets

You can find markets in many neighborhoods of Amsterdam. Some of them are there on every weekday and on Saturday. Others, like the Noordermarkt on Saturdays and Mondays. There has been a market at the foot of the Noorderkerk since 1623. It started out as a market for pots and earthenware, later rags, pigeons, hats and straw were also sold. Since 1987 the Noordermarkt became a farmers market on Saturdays. On Monday morning you can find a lot of vintage clothes there and on the nearby Lindengracht there is a fabric market. On both days you can also find antiques, curiosities, glass ware and artwork. Don’t forget to taste the famous apple pie at Winkel 43, you’ll see people line up for this treat!

magere brug

The Magere Brug (Skinny bridge). Originally at the end of the 17th century a broad monumental stone bridge was planned on this spot. Due to economic setbacks the plan was changed, and a more modest and narrow bridge was built, hence the name skinny bridge.

jordaan 2

The Jordaan was built in the 17th C for the artisans and craft people with professions that made a lot of noise and pollution. They were not allowed to live along the main canals. Still nowadays the Jordaan is an area with many cafés, restaurants and art galleries.

amsterdamstories

The Begijnhof is a hidden gem in the centre of the city. Dating back to the Middle Ages, a Begijnhof (Béguinage) was a courtyard (hofje) where catholic ladies lived. It was not a convent, the houses were private property and after the Alteration (reformation) in 1578 the ladies continued living there, but their church was transformed into a Presbyterian church, (the English church)and they could no longer openly worship. In 1671 a schuilkerk (hidden church) was created from two houses opposite the church (nowadays the Miracle church). On the Begijnhof you can also find one of two remaining wooden houses.

amsterdam bar

On a rainy day like today, there’s no better place to shelter than in a bruin café (brown bar) such as Café Hoppe. There has been a café here since 1670. The first cafés originated in the 17th C as coffeehouses (hence the name; café is french for coffee) other beverages were served in so called tapperijen or beer houses. Brown bars date back to the 19th C when housewives used their front rooms to serve beverages to clients in order to supplement the household income. This explains the cozy interior of the brown bars and the subtle illumination. The sand (sometimes sawdust) that you see on the floor used to protect the floorboards from discoloration due to the chewing tobacco the clients spat on the floor. It also worked as a kind of sanding paper on the wooden floorboards.
