Fantastic plant-based food restaurant with a wide selection of food that even omnivores like. It's 10-15min walking distance from my home and serves both lunch, dinner, and deserts. The place is within the medium price range for Amsterdam.

Getting Around

Sightseeing
Great experience at the house of Rembrandt. Not as tiring or big as a standard museum. You can see it all in an hour or stay longer for an explanation about homemade paint and Rembrandt's painting techniques.

Fantastic 3-floor museum beautifully showing Van Gogh's journey through life. I recommend the audio set. It explains the context of paintings and contains letters between Vincent and his brother. It depicts a beautiful, dramatic life story.
It's best to purchase museum tickets online. Van Gogh is often busy. There are two queues in front of the museum, one (the longer one) for people buying the tickets, and the shorter one for those with online/digital tickets.
