Even with all your desire, you are unlikely to be able to recoup the cost of a daily card – from 60 euros.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s assume that your plan for the 1st day in Amsterdam is as follows: a walk along the canals + the Van Gogh Museum + a visit to the Oudekerk Church + a day of free transportation (which you can not use at all). It turns out about 55 euros, which is a little short of the cost of the card. At the same time, it is worth noting that, taking into account the inspection of other, free, attractions in the centre of Amsterdam, it will be quite difficult to fulfil such a plan. And the possibility of free transportation is a rather dubious event at all. There are many interesting places in the historical centre of the city that are within walking distance of each other, so it’s pointless to travel here by tram.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s estimate the approximate use of the card for 3 days: a walk along the canals + the Van Gogh Museum + the Diamond Museum + a visit to the Oudekerk Church + NEMO Museum + Zoo + Botanical Garden + 3 days of free travel + Heineken Museum (with 25% discount). Total – about 125 euros. Free transportation in this case is already quite a useful thing that will make you much more mobile within 3 days. In addition, it is worth considering various pleasant little things in stores and discounts in cafes, some of which you can quite manage to get in 3 days. As you can see, the benefits are obvious.</p><figure id="attachment_586" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-586" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-586 size-full" src="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/aerial-view-on-amsterdam.jpg" alt="aerial view on amsterdam" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/aerial-view-on-amsterdam.jpg 640w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/aerial-view-on-amsterdam-300x200.jpg 300w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/aerial-view-on-amsterdam-600x400.jpg 600w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/aerial-view-on-amsterdam-455x304.jpg 455w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/aerial-view-on-amsterdam-267x178.jpg 267w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-586" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Bart Ros on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Conclusion</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">There remains only one question: is such a rich cultural program included in your plans? You have to answer it yourself, and if the answer is “yes”, then having an I Amsterdam City Card will certainly play into your hands.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Where to Buy a Flat: London or Amsterdam?

Both cities have their unique charm and investment opportunities, but they cater to different tastes and budgets. So, where should you invest in a flat? Let’s break it down.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>London: The Pros and Cons</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">London, the UK’s bustling capital, offers a diverse range of properties. From new build homes in up-and-coming areas like East London to luxurious apartments in the city centre, the choices are endless. The city’s real estate market is robust, with consistent growth in property values over the years.

Let’s delve into the pros and cons of each city’s real estate market to help you make an informed decision.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Pros:</h3><ol style="text-align: justify;"><li>Diverse Range of Properties: London offers everything from new build homes in East London to luxurious apartments in the city center. The diversity allows for various investment strategies.</li><li>Strong Rental Market: With a high population density and a constant influx of new residents, the demand for rental properties, especially flats and apartments, is robust.</li><li>Capital Growth: London’s real estate market has shown consistent growth over the years, making it a potentially lucrative long-term investment.</li></ol><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-566 size-large" src="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/investition-1024x771.png" alt="investition" width="960" height="723" srcset="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/investition-1024x771.png 1024w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/investition-300x226.png 300w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/investition-768x578.png 768w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/investition-531x400.png 531w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/investition-412x310.png 412w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/investition-267x201.png 267w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/investition.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Cons:</h3><ol style="text-align: justify;"><li>High Entry Costs: The initial investment for buying a <u><a href="https://1newhomes.com">property in London</a></u> can be steep, especially in prime locations.</li><li>Competitive Market: High demand often leads to bidding wars, making it a seller’s market.</li><li>Cost of Living: London’s high cost of living can affect your rental income, as tenants are likely to negotiate hard on prices.</li></ol><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Amsterdam: The Pros and Cons</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Amsterdam, on the other hand, offers a different kind of allure. Known for its picturesque canals and historic architecture, the city has a more laid-back vibe compared to London. The real estate market here is less volatile, making it a safer bet for those looking to invest in flats or houses. However, Amsterdam’s property market is smaller and less diverse, which could limit your investment options.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Pros:</h3><ol style="text-align: justify;"><li>Stable Market: Amsterdam’s real estate market is less volatile compared to London, making it a safer bet for conservative investors.</li><li>Lower Entry Costs: The initial investment for properties, especially flats and houses, is generally lower than in London.</li><li>Quality of Life: Known for its picturesque canals and laid-back lifestyle, Amsterdam offers a unique living experience, making it attractive to potential tenants.</li></ol><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-568 size-large" src="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/london-1024x771.png" alt="london" width="960" height="723" srcset="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/london-1024x771.png 1024w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/london-300x226.png 300w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/london-768x578.png 768w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/london-531x400.png 531w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/london-412x310.png 412w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/london-267x201.png 267w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/london.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Cons:</h3><ol style="text-align: justify;"><li>Smaller Market: Amsterdam’s property market is less diverse, offering fewer investment options.</li><li>Lower Rental Yields: While the city has a strong rental market, the yields are generally lower compared to London.</li><li>Tax Implications: The Netherlands has different property tax regulations, which could impact your ROI.</li></ol><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Financial Considerations: London vs. Amsterdam</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s talk numbers, shall we? Both London and Amsterdam offer promising real estate investment opportunities, but they come with different financial implications. London’s property market, especially when it comes to new build homes, is generally more expensive. However, the city offers higher rental yields, making it an attractive option for those looking to invest in apartments or flats for rental income.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Amsterdam, while more affordable upfront, has lower rental yields. The city’s property market is also subject to different tax regulations, which could impact your long-term investment strategy. However, Amsterdam offers a more stable market, with less fluctuation in property values, making it a safer but potentially less lucrative investment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you don’t have the funds for a big investment in an expensive city, some investors resort to mortgages.

In addition, you can choose apartments in houses built of different materials, for example, block, brick, reinforced concrete, monolithic. The company’s website provides a detailed description of the residential complex, which makes it much easier and faster to choose the best option.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Why else is it profitable to invest in Dubai real estate?</h2><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Growing market</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Real estate prices in Dubai are steadily rising. Demand is especially noticeably ahead of supply in the premium segment. Buying and reselling an apartment after a couple of years with 10-15% profit turned into a win-win strategy.</p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Residence permit</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Having bought a property for more than $ 205 thousand, investors and their families are entitled to the status of residents of the UAE. You will be able to open personal and corporate accounts in local banks, as well as stay in the country all year round.</p><figure id="attachment_536" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-536" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-536 size-full" src="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/night-dubai.jpg" alt="night dubai" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/night-dubai.jpg 640w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/night-dubai-300x200.jpg 300w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/night-dubai-600x400.jpg 600w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/night-dubai-455x304.jpg 455w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/night-dubai-267x178.jpg 267w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-536" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Andreas M on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h4 style="text-align: justify;">In-demand rental</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Renting an apartment for short-term rent can bring up to 12-15% per annum without taking into account the increase in the cost of the object itself. Even if we forget about tourists, the vast majority of Dubai’s population are expats. They also need to rent a house.</p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Resort paradise</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Dubai is a city of sea, sun and eternal summer. Investors can once and for all decide the issue of housing for a holiday resort, if they choose a property near the beach. By the way, such objects never lose in value.</p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Neutral status</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">The UAE is a neutral country. In Dubai, Russians are not limited in any way in buying, selling or renting housing compared to representatives of other states. Developers accept transfers from many banks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Welcome to the Dubai Real Estate market!</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How to Rent a Private Jet for a Flight to Amsterdam?</title> <link>https://triptoamsterdam.org/how-to-rent-a-private-plane/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 30 Aug 2023 17:24:51 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://triptoamsterdam.org/?p=418</guid> <description><![CDATA[You are unlikely to get miles and cashback for a flight on a private plane.

But if the main thing is just to fly somewhere, other options will do. They happen.</p><h3>Charter</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">You can rent a separate plane only for yourself and your loved ones. Private board is selected according to your preferences and any budget, if necessary, the organizers can think over the escort and transfer. They also help with the paperwork for your pets.</p><h3>Group charter</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">This service is often used by corporate companies, which need to organize a comfortable transportation of their employees to another city or country.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Empty-Leg</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">This is a section of the air route along which a private plane follows empty, and therefore it can be handed over to other passengers in advance at a low price. That is, you share the route with someone else and this greatly reduces the cost of the trip, so you can rent a private plane with a discount of up to 50%.</p><figure id="attachment_421" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-421" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-421 size-full" src="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/grey-private-jet.jpg" alt="grey private jet" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/grey-private-jet.jpg 640w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/grey-private-jet-300x200.jpg 300w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/grey-private-jet-600x400.jpg 600w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/grey-private-jet-455x304.jpg 455w, https://triptoamsterdam.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/grey-private-jet-267x178.jpg 267w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-421" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Trac Vu on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h3>Deals</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The flight according to such a system is fully adjusted to the main customer (date, direction, time), and is also agreed at each stage (price, number of seats for sale). This allows you to reduce the cost of renting a board by selling half or part of the seats for an already confirmed and paid flight.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Jet Sharing</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">You buy a separate seat in a jet, enjoy all the advantages of business aviation, and share the cost of the flight with the rest of the passengers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Such flights gained popularity during the pandemic — when there were no regular flights. They still perfectly replace them to this day. And with this method, you can see the real number of reserved and available seats in real time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thus, you can fly to places where flights are not so frequent, at any time, besides with comfort.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Source: <a href="https://private-jets.co.uk/empty-legs/">Empty Legs uk</a></p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Luxury Tours To Europe</title> <link>https://triptoamsterdam.org/luxury-tours-to-europe/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 19 May 2023 18:54:03 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://triptoamsterdam.org/?p=406</guid> <description><![CDATA[Find luxury travel and luxury vacation ideas!

Amsterdam has it all. Take advantage of its temperate weather, warm temperatures and sunny skies to take in all that this vibrant city has to offer. Start your explorations at Museumplein, Amsterdam’s most beloved square. Here you’ll find most of the country’s major museums such as Rijksmuseum and Stedelijk Museum. Winter Amsterdam has something special for visitors all year round, but the winter months are especially rewarding. Here you can take in its one-of-a kind art pieces, picturesque canals, unique historic sites and more in unparalleled beauty. When visiting Amsterdam during the winter, a warm coat and some good boots are essential items to bring.
