Next week some of my friends are going to Amsterdam (at the moment they are visiting me in London). It’s not the first time they’re going there, so they know several places to visit and to party at. However, they would like to discover more and other cooler places than the ones they already know.
Like me, they don’t like to use conventional tourist guides when they travel, so I advised them to take a look at the go find it map.
While we were browsing the map we quickly found lots of cool stuff. As they’re only staying in Amsterdam for a short while they wrote a list with several places to visit. Here’s the list:
Do you have any other suggestion for them? Please share them on the comments, they’ll really appreciate it!

It’s incredible how many cool things are pinned on the Go Find It map, it’s really a wide source of quirky places around Europe and an essential guide to review before travelling to a new city.
This morning I was browsing the map and I found an incredible hat shop in Santiago de Compostela called “Sombreria Iglesias”. This hat shop has been open since 1912, and it’s of course one of the oldest and most classical shops in the city.
So how has a hat shop been able to survive almost 100 years? The secret is a mixture of products and service. You can find high quality products for a good price and have a personal advisor who will help you to find the most suitable hat.
So if you’re looking for a hat you know where to go!

Last summer I spent 10 days in Berlin with a group of my friends. It was our first time in Germany and we loved the city; Berlin has a really interesting mix of the modern and the historical, it’s exciting because among the modern buildings many of the historical sites are still being restored.
When the sun goes down in Berlin the city really comes to life. The diverse origins of its population make it possible to enjoy as many different atmospheres as you want. Among all the great bars we visited in Berlin, we particularly loved one: YAAM – Young Afrikan Art Market. This bar has a Jamaican style and is located near the East Side Gallery in one of the most visited areas in Berlin. We loved this bar so much that we spent most of our evenings (and late nights) there. Why? Because tucked away inside was an entire basketball court where people always play around, the walls were full of nice street art, there’s a half-pipe to skate on, live Reggae music every night, a sandy terrace and lots of great people! A lot of things on offer for a bar – that’s why I find Yaam such a great social meeting point, and why I’d recommend it to everyone.
