The Netherlands, also known as the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is a country located in Western Europe. It is a relatively small country, but has a rich history, a diverse culture and a highly developed economy. The Dutch people are known for their language skills, with the majority of people speaking English in addition to the Dutch language. The education system is highly regarded in Europe. The inhabitants are multicultural in the big cities. The capital Amsterdam, for example, has no fewer than 180 nationalities.
A real Dutch dish is 'hutspot', but you will certainly often see an 'AVG' (potato, meat and vegetables) on the dining table. The Dutch are generally found to be very direct, which can sometimes come across as blunt. Fun fact: The Dutch are the tallest people in the world.
Do you know that feeling halfway through the week when you think to yourself; how am I going to entertain my kids this weekend? Our kids (2 and 9 years old) are two very energetic children that you really need to entertain. Staying at home is really not an option 🙃. In this blog I'll tell you what we like to do with the kids in Amsterdam.Â
'🎵 Give me Amsterdam, that is much nicer than Paris!' I think only the local people from Amsterdam can relate to this song. I was born and raised in Amsterdam. I love the food hotspots, but I can also spend hours wandering along the canals. In this blog, I will take you through the different neighborhoods, but I will also tell you where I like to eat 😋.
