From Dam Square we will enter the Kalverstraat which is 1 kilometre long and on both sides you can find shops.

Kalverstraat has 15 side streets / passages. We will take the one that goes to Leidseplein so we can make a pitstop at Vleminckx.

Vlemminckx
Is a sauce master that sells home made Belgian fries whit a variety of choice in sauces. It is know as the best fries store in Amsterdam. There is almost all the time a row and nobody minds it. If you visit Amsterdam this is actually a must. Set your navigation on 'Voetboogstraat 33' or just look for a long row to find it.

On our way to Leidseplein we come across the famous flower market of Amsterdam. You can take this side street to visit. Let's take a little detour.

The flower market of Amsterdam is on the world heritage list of Unesco. Flower growers came on little boats to bring their flowers in the centre of Amsterdam. This started in 1862. De flower market today is still on boats, but they are stationary as you can see in the picture above. It is a nice place for flower enthusiasts.

I love the Dam! Never a boring place. Great post.

nice post @freakyfriday , I hope we can be friend : )

Ofcourse. :)) Making new friends is always a good thing. :) I will follow you.

Great photos - thanks for the tour! So clean - hefty littering fines? Superb cleaning crews? or just folks taking pride in the place they live? Thanks for sharing!

Thank you and very welcome. :)) A mix of superb cleaning crews and most people being decent enough to throw it in a trash can I guess. But without the superb cleaning crews we would be nowhere ofcourse. Lots of respect to them.

Bringing back memories of my times in Amsterdam many years ago, used to be my third hometown, I I shifted between Copenhagen,Sitges and Amstardam the 4th was Andorra ...

Which one you liked the most to live in? Hehe also curious why you changed so many cities. :))

When I think of Amsterdam, the last thing that comes to mind is cheese museums and sauce masters. I didn't even know there is such a thing as a sauce master. The more you know!

Great captures of the canal. I've heard nothing but good things about Amsterdam and I hope I can make it there myself one day.

I am sure you will. Thanks a lot for your nice reply. I saw on your blog that you had a spinal surgery. Damn, thats heavy. How are you doing now? Recovering well I hope.
