Amsterdam is located north of Paris, the two cities are near each other the reason why many travelers visit these two cities consecutively. There are many ways to travel from Amsterdam to Paris or vise versa - via plane, train, bus, car or bike but they say the most convenient way is to travel by train. How I wish we had chosen this option because maybe we would not have experienced unnecessary drama we encountered on our worst day in Europe - all because of Flix Bus.
It was that time of the year when it was difficult to book a cheap accommodation in Amsterdam. A really big challenge to look for a place in Amsterdam because 1, we started looking a little late (less than a month) and 2, it was peak season (spring) to visit Amsterdam. So even if we wanted to book an Airbnb for a cheaper option, the available listings were very few and very expensive. So we settled for a hotel we saw on booking.com. It wasn't cheap at all but it was the best option we had during that time.
Tulips are BEAUTIFUL! These pretty flowers grow during spring and can only be found in certain areas around the world. When you think of tulips you'll instantly think of Holland. Keukenhof in Lisse is one of the most well-known flower gardens in the world. It is a popular destination to witness over 7 millions tulip bulbs in a 32 hectare land.
Another city that I was so excited to visit was Amsterdam. Hearing the stories from other travelers made me very curious about this place. Amsterdam is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands. It is famous for its magnificent canals, one-of-a-kind museums, colorful tulip fields, and bicycle friendly roads, but not only that, I think you will all agree with me that Amsterdam is more famous for two very unique attractions - its vibrant Red Light District and Cannabis Coffeeshops.
We decided to book a hotel in Nice instead of an Airbnb because we weren't able to see an ideal Airbnb listing during the time we were looking (but checking the listing now, you'll find tons of options) plus we were already running out of time to search thoroughly. Nevertheless, our hotel in Nice didn't disappoint as we had a pleasant stay and the rate is very affordable. It was also a 'nice' break from the no frills Airbnb we stayed.
