Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most popular cities. In 2016 more than 15 million people were reported to have flocked to the Netherlands’ capital. For some it’s the readily available coffee shop products that entice them to Amsterdam, for others the rich history and beautiful architecture is the biggest draw. One thing is for certain, this is a city with a lot to offer. There is so much to do here and so much to explore.
As we reach the apartment that we’ll be calling home for the next four days, I clock the huge health food supermarket a few doors along from our front door, and decide to make that the first place to visit. It’s always a relief once you realise that you’re going to be able to eat plant based food when you arrive in a new city, so walking into Marqt to find many recognisable products from home — but also an array of new products that had a vegan label on them — was great to see.
