Walking Around the Beautiful Flowers at De Hortus

Posted on January 20, 2026January 20, 2026 by Jupiter

Dann and I love walking around flower gardens, taking pictures of the different flowers and just hanging out with each other. Botanical gardens feel like such a nice way to slow down, so one afternoon while in Amsterdam, we figured we’d head over to De Hortus, which we saw on our canal tour. This huge botanical garden has a large outdoor area, which is where we started. There are a few different trails and maps for different walks, all featured just inside the entrance. There is also a meeting point for guided tours, which happen during specific events.

All You Can Eat at GAJA Korean BBQ

Posted on January 13, 2026January 13, 2026 by Jupiter

When looking for fun places to eat in Amsterdam, our tour guide on a canal tour recommended two places, one of which being GAJA Korean BBQ. At the time, we did not know it was an all you can eat BBQ joint, but were very excited to discover this! You can either order off the standard menu or you can choose the all you can eat option, which does only allow one dessert per person and doesn’t include drinks. That’s what we ended up going with. There is a two hour eating limit and everything is ordered through scanning a QR code, where you can also allow others from your table to join the order, and you can see who orders what. If you aren’t familiar with Korean BBQ, you are able to cook everything in front of yourselves.

Seeing Historical Ships at Museumhaven Amsterdam

While exploring around the NEMO Museum in Amsterdam, if you walk towards the back like Dann and I did, you will come across a bunch of different historical ships. This is actually Museumhaven Amsterdam – which is a museum harbor of the Amsterdam Museum Harbor Association. There are over 20 historical vessels there, covering a bunch of different boat types, all moored for people to have a look at.

All You Can Eat Sushi at MOJO Japanese Kitchen

Posted on January 6, 2026January 6, 2026 by Jupiter

When looking for a place to eat in another country, we often go towards Asian food. This is because we both really love this type of food! While on a canal tour, the tour guide recommended two Japanese places, one of which being MOJO Japanese Kitchen, so we had to go. This sushi place was right along the canal, which had beautiful views especially as the sun set. There were outer tables, which had robot waiters coming to deliver food, but we were sat in the very centre by a beautiful blossom tree.

Looking Over the City at A’Dam Lookout

Posted on January 2, 2026December 27, 2025 by Jupiter

When we were at the train station in Amsterdam, hanging out just outside the Amsterdam Central airport, I saw the giant swings on top of a building. Casually, I said to Dann “do you think that is swings?” and he said “oh yes. I would never do that” but I knew, I would totally do that. I then made it my mission to do that. The A’Dam Lookout is a very touristy, very interesting venue with beautiful views of the main city, which you can book tickets to view during the daytime, sunset, or evening. We booked going in one of the evenings, right after sunset, which was fantastic.
