  • If you like horses and architecture than you shouldn't miss this lovely riding school. You would never expect a riding school in the middle of Amsterdam. It is housed in a lovely building near the Vondelpark. It was built in 1882 by the same architect who made the plans for the concert hall.

    Walk through the gate in Vondelstraat no. 40. If you are lucky you can watch a riding lesson. But be quiet and don't take pics with a flash. On the first floor is a nice cafetaria and you can sit on the balcony, enjoying the riding lesson while you have a cup of coffee.

  • When you are visiting the Vondelpark, take a detour to the Roemer Visscherstraat (east side of the Vondelpark).

    In this street between no. 20 and 30a, you will find houses in the style of different European countries: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Rusia, the Netherlands and England. These houses were designed by one architect in the beginning of the 20th century. He wanted to show the diversity in European styles. The place is known as "European Union".

     Hi Helga. Thanks to your tips, I finally remembered the name of iron poles of Amsterdam. I noticed one of them in Kadikoy-Istanbul in November and I am expecting to solve the mystery someday. I really missed that beautiful city.

     Knap stukje over A'dam, objectief en door de ogen van een ervaren reiziger. Berlijn is beter, maar waar blijft je report, looking forward; Greetz and happy end of the year 2007
