Amsterdam is seemingly full of tiny buildings with big secrets. Last time we saw Anne Frank House which was perhaps the most elaborate of all, and this time, this pretty amazing church hidden in the attic! So interesting!

My sister told me about the free friday lunchtime concerts here and we just couldn't resist. A lovely choral affair, not sure what about but we has such a pleasant time.

My girlfriend and I decided this time when we went to amsterdam we'd venture out of the city once, and we went to haarlem, with resoundin success. it was an easy train journey and once there there the church of st bavo was great, as was the frans hals art museum. thoroughly enjoyed our wander,wonder where we might go next time...

This gothic and renaissance church is now more of a cultural centre since it no longer functions as a church, but you can look round by going in through the cafe. Lovely details inside include the choir gate and the pulpit, as well as the windows. The guides are really friendly and informative.
