There are opening new food markets everywhere; El Nacional in Barcelona, de Markthal in Rotterdam and de Foodhallen in Amsterdam. And since I’m a big fan of little bites instead of big platters of food, food markets are the perfect place to have some dinner and drinks.
I’m a big fan of places like Pllek! Somewhere (kind of) in the middle of nowhere you suddenly find an amazing spot like this.
Who didn’t want to build tree houses when they were little? I always feel like sitting in a tree house when I’m at Hanneke’s Boom. It is such a great place away from the city, but actually in the city centre. It’s the perfect way to escape the busy city for an afternoon, just like you escaped when you were little by climbing in your tree house.
The one thing you have to do when visiting Basel is go to the Vitra Campus (preferably on a bike, like we did)! Not only because the Vitra Collection is amazing, but also because it is a super nice area where you can chill out a bit.
One thing for sure; there cannot be enough Buvette containers at the Rhein in Basel. On my second trip to Basel I found the second Buvette container. If I would find a new one every time I’m in Basel I would be perfectly happy!
I cannot not write a blog about my awesome last weekend at Lowlands!! As Lady of the Lowlands I was destined to go to Lowlands festival. Although it was raining now and then, nothing could ruin the amazing atmosphere at this awesome festival.
Mercado de San Miguel is an indoor market next to Plaza Mayor. I really like Plaza Mayor, it is an amazing and impressive plaza to see, and I love all the little balconies from the apartments with the plaza view. But I don’t really like all the terraces at Plaza Mayor, there are mostly tourists and the restaurants charge tourist prices as well. But just around the corner of Plaza Mayor you find the really nice Mercado de San Miguel. Of course, located in this area, this is not a cheap place as well, but at least its super cool!
This summer there is again a pop-up concept store in Palacio de Santa Bárbara, Manzana Mahou 330. This is a great hidden spot to hang out on a sunny afternoon.
Summer is here! And the best thing about that is, that the festival season in Holland is here! I’m such a big fan of festivals. Being in the sun, dancing to great music, eating and drinking with your friends, throwing paint/color powder on each other and playing grandma bingo.
A few weeks ago I was in Basel on a family trip. I had never been to Basel and didn’t think the city would be that great. But that turned out to be different then I thought.
