Museum van Loon

Filed under: Museums&Galleries

Another baroque garden set in the Jordaan district is the one located at Van Loon Museum

The house features a garden room where the best views are guaranteed, and a garden house with a prolific decoration of pillars, sculptures and tympanums on the facade. Acquired by the Van Loon family in 1884, the building dates as far back as the 1672, though it received some luxurious ornaments in the 18th century: mirrors, panels and plasterwork were the only additions to the original structure set on the Keizersgracht.

SANDWITCHES & BAGUETTES

Filed under: Enjoyments, where to go

When I feel like eating tasty  baguette or sandwich I visit sandwitch bar located in the end of Damrak street. It`s a great place for lunch on the go. I always like to sit in Dam Square with my enormous baquette and observe surrounding world.
