#11 Explore the Hidden Gems in Amsterdam, City escape, The Local Picks.
Like always I will take you to the best spots in Amsterdam!
Welcome back to this ‘hidden gems’ series of my blog. For the people that don’t know what to expect, it’s simple, I will share the most unique and fun spots in Amsterdam with you. So when you visit this beautiful city you can experience the city like a real local.
The weather is getting better and soon we are able to enjoy my favorite time a year in the city; Summer!
the Hidden Gem I share with you is not that hidden. There are 50K people with you there and the season is almost over, but my suggestion when you are in Amsterdam is to visit an Ajax soccer game!
Wherever I travel to I always try to visit a local sports or team. It’s always a great way to experience a local culture and vibe.
Today I will share with you a Ajax game I visited a few days ago with my dad who has a season ticket.
Ajax
Ajax is by far the most successful soccer team of the Netherlands and is a household name all over the world. There are a 33 times Dutch champion and even won big European cups and produced great players like; Johan Cruyff, Dennis Bergkamp, Marco van Basten, Clarence Seedorf and many more.
Unfortunately this season they were not able to crown themselves as champions and they are waiting for over three years now, I visited the last home game of the season. the game had not value anymore since PSV Eindhoven won the Championship just days earlier! That explains the empty seats.
Here is my hidden gem of Amsterdam in pictures for you;
“the crowd before the game”
“honoring the legend”
“the stadium”
“the crowd”
“bad start by missing a penalty”
“the start getting worse, the visitors scoring”
“come on Ajax!”
“that’s better!”
“the final score”
I hope you liked this insight at Ajax, again once you are in Amsterdam and they have a home game try to go, it’s really fun! And only 20 minutes outside the city center if you take the subway.
Thanks for stopping by will make sure I am active this summer in order to share many more hidden gems with you!
Enjoy your day everybody.

Hey Haas! Been so busy lately feel like it's way too long since I stopped by and left a comment. Another awesome post by the one and only @heyitshaas! What an exciting even.

thanks for stopping by buddy! hope you enjoy our heavy travel, hopefully in a few motnhs you will be in Europe. normally there are 50K people in the stands. my father has a season seat.
Wow, season tickets! Must be big fans! I'm hoping all works out with my future travel to Europe. So far this Spring has gone almost exactly to plan with my South America. Have a great day brother!
I think Amsterdam is one of the most amazing city in the Europe. This is a city where you can breath an American wind and an Oriental profume in the air.
I did not visit the stadium when I were in Amsterdam, but I can see that it looks San Siro Milan's stadium.
I really love living in Amsterdam, traveled for four years but always comming back
