🚴‍♂️🌷 Summer Cycling Around Museumplein: Art, Parks & Amsterdam’s Iconic Squares

#summervacay 📍 Why Cycle Here? Museumplein is Amsterdam’s cultural heart, surrounded by world-class museums, lush lawns, and lively summer events. Cycling lets you dodge crowds, picnic like a local, and hop between art and ice cream stops with ease. 🗓️ 2-Hour Cycling Itinerary: Culture & Chill 1. Start at Rijksmuseum (Museumplein) Photo Op: Snap the iconic “I Amsterdam” letters (reinstalled in 2024!). Pro Tip: Bike through the museum’s arched passageway (yes, it’s allowed!). 2. Pedal to Vondelpark (5 mins) Cool Off: Stop at ’t Blauwe Theehuis for iced coffee in a 1930s pavilion. Summer Vibes: Spot open-air theater performances (free, June-Aug). 3. Cruise Past Concertgebouw Listen: Catch a free lunchtime concert (Wednesdays 12:30 PM). 4. Stedelijk Museum Loop Modern Art Pitstop: Lock your bike and peek at the Kusama Infinity Room (timed tickets needed). 5. Van Gogh Museum Detour Skip the Line: Admire the sunflower mural outside (best light at golden hour). 6. End at De Pijp (10 mins) Reward: Van Stapele Koekmakerij for warm chocolate cookies (worth the queue!). 🌞 Summer Perks: ✅ Picnic Perfect: Grab cheese & stroopwafels from Albert Cuyp Market. ✅ Night Rides: Museums lit up beautifully after dark. ✅ Bike Rentals: Black Bikes (€12/day) near Leidseplein. 📌 Survival Tips: Lock Smart: Use two locks (frame + wheel) at bike racks. Tram Alert: Watch for tram lines when crossing. Go Early: 8-10 AM = empty photo ops. "Museumplein isn’t just a square—it’s Amsterdam’s open-air living room on wheels."

Hyatt Regency Amsterdam

Hyatt Regency Amsterdam, Netherlands Hyatt Regency Amsterdam, Netherlands The ultimate stop of this European tour is in the Netherlands! 🛫 This few nights at the hotel were redeemed with points, which equals a free trip to stay in the Netherlands, which is simply cool! 😆 Staying at Hyatt in Europe is also free, frankly no extravagant expectations for upgrade. Originally online check-in only upgraded to Deluxe Room, I did not expect then due to flight delay, even let me upgrade to Regency Executive Suite executive suite, mood directly 180 degrees reversal, super Surprise! 🤣 The whole person felt that Amsterdam was super comfortable, the environment was chill, the time was super leisurely ~ I sincerely hope to come again next time! And the hotel staff service attitude is excellent, super nice! Speaking of the hotel itself, it has an Indonesian restaurant on the ground floor, with more than 20 years of Indonesian sister experience I tried to feel very authentic, recommend you try ~ If you want to feel the modern architecture and Dutch human atmosphere, Hyatt Regency Amsterdam is perfect for you! 📍 Hotel address: Sarphatistraat 104, 1018 GV Amsterdam, Netherlands 🕒 It is recommended to check-in online early, Check-in time usually starts at 3pm The room design is very warm: a large bed, two beautiful table lamps at the head of the bed, a wooden bench in front of the bed, and a comfortable carpet Let me know if you have any recommendations for your next visit to Amsterdam! 🚲✨
