Roadmap for the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Poland

Spring is the best season to visit the Netherlands, when tulips are in full bloom, and it is also the peak tourist season in the Netherlands. Although the weather is still cold, rainy and cloudy, there is no reason to stop a heart that has been pressed for three years in order to catch a glimpse of the tulips in full bloom. So nearly three months later, the tour of four European countries began in early April, and the first stop was Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.

As soon as I got off the plane, I sent a message to inform the landlord of the apartment in advance that we had arrived at Amsterdam Airport, so Mike, the tall and thin landlord, was already at the door of the apartment to greet the black guide and me. Opening the door of the apartment, looking up at the curved and winding staircase in front of me, with no end in sight, my legs involuntarily shaking, I gestured to the black guide next to me with my eyes, "Young man, everything depends on you"!

Drop off your luggage, the first thing the black guide and I do is go shopping at the supermarket? Of course not, the Albert Cuyp Market is our first choice. Albert Cuyp Market, Amsterdam's iconic market, first started in 1905 in the early 20th century, has a history of more than 100 years. The market starts from 9:00 am to 5 pm every day, except for Sundays when it closes, and it is 150 meters from the residence.
