P.S. 🦞 Most Memorable Meal in Amsterdam
The Seafood Bar was the highlight of my trip!!!
The lobster soup was surprisingly light yet packed with flavor, really unique compared to other versions I’ve tried. The calamari was another standout – crisp on the outside but tender and soft inside. Along with their fresh seafood, this meal became my most unforgettable experience in Amsterdam.

2.Rotterdam not included in ARTT → need separate NS train ticket.
