1000 Places To See Before You Die

As a travel junkie, the book “1000 Places To See Before You Die” has become my compass.

Now that we’re setting sail to Germany and the Netherlands, I’m once again directed back to it for guidance and inspiration.

While over the years I’ve created my own list which includes visiting all UNESCO World Heritage sites (is that even possible in one lifetime?), I’ve also made it my life’s goal to see, eat, sleep in all of the places that Schultzs, the author of 1000 Places, writes about.  Here is what’s on the Amsterdam and Berlin hit list and would love your thoughts and recommendations specific to these 2 destinations!

AMSTERDAM

-Canal Cruised and Tulip Time (Amsterdam and Lisse)
