The Amsterdam Historisch Museum and the Spui are among my favourite places in Amsterdam. I also suggested to our cousins to go there as well! :-)
And you? Have you ever been there already? :-)
The Amsterdam Historisch Museum
The Amsterdam Historisch Museum entrance is really, really beautiful, isn't it? :-)
I'm not a big fan of the street where the museum is situated (
Kalverstraat) because it's always very crowded due the many stores located there, but I love this entrance! This museum (now Amsterdam Museum) is located since 1975 in the city old orphanage.
Passing by this pretty arch, we are at the AHM terrace. Located at the center of Amsterdam, it's a quiet and charming place, where we can enjoy a light and delicious lunch.
If you wish to see some art works for free and watch the paintings recovery work, the AHM passage is the place to go.
The
Spui
Nearby the AHM is the Spui, the square in Amsterdam I love the most. A book market is held on Fridays and many bookstores are located there, like the
American Book Center (ABC) (where I go when I want to buy English written books).The Spui is therefore very popular among book lovers. The entrance for the Medieval courtyard of the
Begijnhof is also there.
Finally, if you come in the Spring, you'll notice the buildings covered with beautiful flowers.

Lovely, isn't it? :-)
