Almost that time of the year: Amsterdam Light Festival

Almost that time of the year: Amsterdam Light Festival

As the days get shorter, it’s almost time for the Amsterdam Light Festival. One of my favourite times of the year. Our city is just breathtaking with all these illuminated pieces of art around the city. It will take place from November 28th 2019 until January 19th 2020. This year it will consist of 25 light artworks and 10 city stories from various international artists. There are various ways to experience this festival, at your own initiative or through booking a tour. All the light art installations are exclusively made for this festival. There is a water exhibition as well as a land exhibition. Go and have a look, it’s really worth seeing. See more at: www.amsterdamlightfestival.com

Yerba, a delicious veggie spot

Yerba, a delicious veggie spot

Yerba is an inspiring, plant based restaurant and opened its doors in 2018. As they don’t want to waste food, they use whole vegetables and they care about working with local producers and farmers. Vegetables are definitely in the spotlight at Yerba, but if you do want to add meat or fish to your meal, no problem at all! But even if you are a real carnivore, I promise that you will not miss the meat since every vegetable dish is a delight! Address: Ruysdaelstraat 48.
