Drinks and foods• You will notice that this country has a lot of different foods from

different countries. Some musts that you have to try while you’re over there:

Dutch; How about a herring with onions. Usually sold on the market. It’s definitely something you should try.

Turkish; You can get Turkish food everywhere. The best way to buy it is when you see them selling it on the street. Choose for Doner Kebab.

Indonesian; For Indonesian, go to the Asian Taste in West Amsterdam. Try ‘Nasi’. It’s white flavored rice with

any kind of meat/fish, and your own amount of hot sauce. Surinamese; Tjauw Min, Roti, Saotosoup or vegetarian Loempia’s.

Albina is a very good restaurant to try this kind of food. If you don’t wanna have a hard time trying to find all those places, just go to the Albert Cuyp Market. It’s the busiest and most famous outdoor market in Europe. Especially popular on Saturdays. There are over 300 stalls.

• Cruise on the Amsterdam canalsThe number of canals have led Amsterdam to become known as ‘The Venice of the North’. A canal tour can be both fascinating and relaxing by day and romantic at night.
