now also a real little black book with OUR best ADDRESSES!
I can’t even remember how often I got the question if there was also a real printed version with the addresses of Your Little Black Book. … I can now finally answer that question with YES! Especially for all the English speaking followers of the blog we made a city guide so you can discover Amsterdam. In Dutch it’s in stores now as “De Amsterdam City Guide” with over 400 of my favourite addresses in Amsterdam and in English it’s called “The Amsterdam City Guide”. A must have guide for everyone who want to get to know Amsterdam even better. For newbies in town, but also for everyone who lives here for years. With this little black guide book I hope to inspire you to try new things in Amsterdam and to jump on your bike to discover new neighbourhoods. Discover Amsterdam through my eyes and enjoy it as a local.
“The Amsterdam City Guide” has a smaller size you can take it with you at all times. The whole guide has the clean look and feel from Your Little Black Book and my personal tips throughout the book.
A must have guide for everyone who want to get to know Amsterdam even better.
