1. The canals

Amsterdam's canals aren't just waterways, they're the soul of the city. Explore the picturesque bridges that span these tranquil waters, each one offering a unique perspective of Amsterdam's charm. From the iconic Magere Brug to the hidden gems of the Brouwersgracht, let the canals be your guide to capturing the essence of Amsterdam.

📍 Oudezijds Voorburgwal 3-1, 1012 EH Amsterdam (Pink Bike Location)

📍 Leidsegracht 22, 1016 CL Amsterdam (One of my favorite spots)

 

Photo tips:

  • come early, so there are less people
  • search for props like flowers or a bike
  • look out for leading lines and interesting perspectives

 

2. Bloemenmarkt

Dive into a world of blooms at the Bloemenmarkt, Amsterdam's famous floating flower market. Lose yourself in a sea of colors and fragrances as you wander through stalls overflowing with tulips, roses, and orchids. With every snap of your camera, capture the essence of spring in Amsterdam's most colorful market.

📍 Singel 630, 1017 AZ Amsterdam

 

Photo tips:

  • look for leading lines
  • lower the camera for a better perspective
  • choose a wide angle to capture the beautiful flowers better

 

3. Narrow Houses of Damrak

This is a spot you should not miss on your next trip to Amsterdam. With their colorful facades and crooked angles, these architectural wonders beg to be captured in all their whimsical glory. Strike a pose against the backdrop of these iconic landmarks! Make sure to come early, so you have the spot for yourself and the best lighting!

Ps. A splash of color in your outfit will add more interest to your photo!

📍Damrak 123, 1012 MB Amsterdam, Niederlande

 

4. Staalmeesterbrug Bridge

The Staalmeesterbrug Bridge offers a perfect backdrop for a photo. I love the narrow canal with the perfectly framed church in the background. Plus you have a nice reflection in the water making the photo spot even more perfect!

📍Groenburgwal, 1011 HS Amsterdam

 

 
 

5. Entrances & shop windows

 

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.

In this blog post I share 3 of my favorite tulip fields which you shouldn´t miss next time you´re going to Amsterdam in Spring.
