When you stroll through the city you´ll find lots of cute cafés, book shops, stroopwaffel shops and other pretty windows and entrances to take photos at. Make sure to look for cute decorations, nice lighting and texture.

6. Tulip Fields near Amsterdam

One of the most beautiful places to take incredible photos is just 30 minutes away from Amsterdam. No, it´s not Keukenhof. Instead, you should visit the area Lisse and the stunning tulip fields there.
