🇳🇱🇩🇪 Foodie Adventure: Amsterdam & Berlin

In mid-June, I set out on a trip that felt like a true food-and-exploration tour across Europe — from Paris to Amsterdam and Berlin. ✨ Amsterdam • Traveled by Eurostar train from Paris (Gare du Nord) to Amsterdam Central in just about 2.5–3 hours. Super convenient and comfortable. • Bought a metro pass and stayed near Rokin, which was very central and easy to explore. • Must-try food: Fabel Friet fries with parmesan and truffle — crispy and packed with flavor. • Visited Pantopia Bakery, which felt like a pastry exhibition — creative and absolutely delicious, though drinks were average. • Dinner at a famous pizza place (likely La Perla) — tasty but the wait was a bit long. • Tried chewy Van Stapele chocolate cookies — rich and indulgent. • A hidden gem: Chun Bulgogi Sandwich (Korean spot) — one of the best things I ate in Amsterdam, highly recommended! 🚌 Travel: Took a FlixBus overnight from Amsterdam to Berlin (~8 hours). Saved a night of hotel cost, arriving around 6 AM. ✨ Berlin • Started the day at Alexanderplatz, classic city vibe. • Ate Currywurst (decent, but not my favorite) and grabbed a Starbucks for a quick break. • Special highlight: visited Dong Xuan Center (Berlin’s Vietnamese hub) and enjoyed authentic bánh cuốn — felt like home. • Next day tried a doner kebab — surprisingly not as good as expected. • Important tip: Berlin still runs a lot on cash. Many places don’t accept cards, so carry euros or risk walking back out like I did a few times. #europe #amsterdam #rokin #fabelfritz #pantopia #pistachio #fooodieeee #food #pizza #bulgogi #berlin #banhcuon #currywurst #donerkebab #dongxuan #dongxuancenterberlin 👉 Overall, this trip was less about sightseeing and more like a food tour on the go — from Dutch fries and cookies to Korean sandwiches, Vietnamese bánh cuốn, and German street eats. A delicious (and very memorable) adventure!

Spent a sun-soaked day exploring some of Berlin’s most iconic spots, with killer food and street art vibes all over the city 🌞🧱 Top Spots to Visit in Berlin: 1. Topography of Terror (Niederkirchnerstraße 8, 10963): This outdoor museum on the site of the Nazi SS HQ is deeply moving—and entry is totally FREE. Open 10:00-20:00 most days! 2. Checkpoint Charlie (Friedrichstraße 43-45, 10117): Snap a photo at this legendary former border crossing. Open 24/7, so swing by anytime for Cold War nostalgia. 3. Brandenburg Gate (Pariser Platz, 10117): Berlin’s ultimate landmark! Iconic for those classic Berlin selfies, open all day. 4. Reichstag Building (Platz der Republik 1, 11011): Don’t miss the glass dome for insane city views—open from 8:00-22:00. Advance registration online is recommended for entry! 5. Berlin Underworld (Brunnenstraße 105, 13355): Tour underground WWII bunkers for around €17—super fascinating, but book in advance since tours fill up fast. 6. Alexanderplatz: Head here for shopping, giant TV tower pics, and classic Berlin city hustle. Street culture tip: The Berlin Wall East Side Gallery is a graffiti paradise. Take your time checking out all the street art pieces—bring your camera! Food hack: Refuel with Berlin’s legendary kebab or “Donner Kebag”—cheap, filling, and found everywhere! Also, don’t skip a crispy schnitzel for classic German flavor. Moving around: Grab a Berlin WelcomeCard for unlimited public transport—U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, all sorted. Key tips: Germany uses euros—pay cash at street food stands; most places accept cards otherwise. Weather shifts fast, so layer up if you're spending the whole day outdoors. #BerlinVibes #StreetArtBerlin #BerlinFoodie #TravelEfficient #tripdotcom
