Welcome to Amsterdam Diary, the place to be for all you need to know in preparation for your visit to Amsterdam. My name is Ilse, and I have lived in Amsterdam all my life. I absolutely adore my city and want to share this love with as many people as I can. Our team of ‘Amsterdammers’ meet and work in our office which sits beside one of the most beautiful canals in the city. It is from here that we manage this website with the aim to offer you honest, independently tested and gathered information about our city.

Amsterdam Diary came into being thanks to our love and appreciation of Amsterdam. We think it’s a shame that so many uninformed tourists remain in the centre, missing all of those stunning places on its outskirts that are just waiting to be discovered. With this blog we guarantee that visitors know exactly where they should go, where they definitely should not go, and allow them to return home with the positive memories of a fantastic experience.

Amsterdam Diary is a complete, honest overview of all that Amsterdam has to offer. If you have any information or questions, please feel free to contact me!
