Solo trip end of august

Post by afex »

Hello,

i wanted to go for a solo day trip to Amsterdam. I have some questions and seeking for some recommendation:


I was planning to arrive around 7 in the morning and go back around 22
As my starting and endpoint is in Sloterdijk: So my idea was to get around the city in a big circle (roughly this route: Sloterdijk - Centrum - Oosterpark - Outter Centrum - Vondelpark - Sloterdijk )


7-8 am: getting decent breakfast, buying a day ticket for public transport and heading to the old Dampkring2 on Haarlemmerstraat, as it opens around 8 and i have a good memory of this shop.

Did the opening time changed since corona-times?
Is it still a good coffeshop / what's the better alternative (at 8/8:30 in the morning) nearby?



8am-9pm: Now that part is kinda empty, but i'd like to explore the city in that circle i mentioned.

Do you have any budget suggestions, what i can possibly do while going through the centrum?
I am not interested in museums.

Also where are some cool areas to smoke (beside Vondelpaark)?
Some years ago i considered Boerejongens as the best product/prize , is that uptodate?


9:00pm: Getting Metro from Slotervaart to Sloterdijk

Sounds good I have done a few day trips and although it's a long day it's a great day remember u will tyre of smoking at some stage but food and drink will help u through , if weather is good I would hire a bike for the day much better way to see the city and keep yourself fresh at the same time ...its not that big of a place
