Your Mini Guide To Amsterdam In 48 Hour
Where to stay in Amsterdam?
A last-minute trip to Amsterdam resulted in booking for the first time at the wonderful historical Radisson Blu, dating back to the mid-1700s, surrounded by 2 canals and luckily where I needed to be. Centrally located, far away from the crowd yet within walking distance from the theater with Dam Square only being 400 meters away. Every morning after breakfast, our bicycle was ready with the wonderful concierge. He knew exactly the time of day I woke up and that I loved cycling in the city in the early mornings. I was surprised I never stayed here before… Amsterdam was always on our itinerary once a year for the past 20 years. I grew accustomed to the lifestyle and beautiful places to stay in Amsterdam.
To get a closer look at the spacious accommodation, my ‘business class’ room was approximately 30m(2) and had everything I needed. An extra bed, in its own corner, in its own space could easily be placed inside the room that is filled with incredible light from the ceiling to floor windows. A great choice of rooms existed which gives guests a lot of options from 7 different categories.
The property is spread over two buildings and you could see the facade of history on each side. It’s everything you would need in Amsterdam even traveling with family.
