If you're stayi... That's awesome, Ariana! <br /><br />If you're staying in the middle of the old city, definitely make a point to get out of the center - on my first visit I stayed very central, in an area that's pretty dominated with international shopping (H&M, Zara, etc.), 'coffeeshops,' head shops, and cheap/fast food restaurants, all oriented at tourists, and as a result I wasn't too crazy about the city. This time we stayed a few canal-rings out in Jourdaan, and I liked the city <i>so</i> much better! It was really nice to see the places where locals hang out, and to get away from the bulk of the exploitation-tourism.<br /><br />Definitely give yourself time to walk around an area called De Negen Straatjes, or the Nine Streets, in Jourdaan - full of tons of lovely houses, cute vintage shops and restaurants, and great ice cream! The best is Yscuypje, at the corner of Prinsengracht and Elandsgracht.emilyhttp://the-other-emily.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063515522923730081.post-80792851767254459852011-07-01T06:02:24.714-04:002011-07-01T06:02:24.714-04:00Haha, thanks!

We were able to walk almost everywhere from our place, and every walk was a constant barrage of adorable little streets, canals, houses and shops, all tucked away around corners just waiting to be discovered. You should absolutely visit if you have the chance! Just bring an umbrella. :)emilyhttp://the-other-emily.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063515522923730081.post-21281296122221100412011-07-01T04:33:05.284-04:002011-07-01T04:33:05.284-04:00 I have been loving this blazer on this trip so fa...
