20+ Best Vegan Restaurants In Amsterdam & More
Amsterdam has a reputation for late-night revelry, but it is also home to a vast amount of culture, great vegan restaurants, and it’s one of the prettiest cities in Europe to boot! While partying and pot are readily available, after stepping off the train and getting swept up in this beautiful city, both became background noise.
With more canals than Venice, walking around Amsterdam is a treat; watch out for the bicyclists! A guide we met told us that they have an issue with people having too many bikes in the city — I chuckled because, in Detroit, cars are king.
This vegan guide will help you uncover the best vegan restaurants, shops, and hotels! You’ won’t need anything else to plan your adventure! You’ll just need to buy your plane or train ticket!
