Tiffany Case House James Bond
Reguliersgracht 36 is easy to walk past — until you realize Tiffany Case lived here in 1971.

Artis Amsterdam Royal Zoo
Artis is nearly 190 years old and still feels nothing like a typical zoo — the 1882 aquarium and Micropia alone justify the ticket.
-
Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder
A secret Catholic church hidden inside a canal house since the 1600s — and Amsterdam’s authorities knew it was there the whole time.
-
John Lennon Wall
The wall gets repainted constantly — what you see today won’t exist tomorrow. That impermanence is exactly the point.
-
Oude Kerk Amsterdam
Rembrandt’s wife is buried under your feet, sex workers advertise in the windows outside. No building captures Amsterdam better.
-
Old Jewish Cemetery Prague
Twelve layers of graves, 12,000 tilting stones, and one plot of land. Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetery holds more history per square foot than anywhere I’ve been.
-
The Louvre Museum
35,000 works across 72,735 square meters — the Louvre requires a plan, not a wander. Pick two wings and own them.
-
Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
Jim Morrison’s grave gets the crowds, but Père-Lachaise rewards the wanderers who get lost between Chopin and Édith Piaf.
-
Prague Astronomical Clock
The Orloj has run continuously since 1410. The hourly Apostle show is 45 seconds — the clock itself deserves far longer.
-
Poezenboot Cat Boat Amsterdam
A converted canal barge on the Singel has been rescuing cats since 1966. It’s small, a little chaotic, and completely worth the detour.
-
Electric Ladyland Amsterdam
Electric Ladyland is the world’s only fluorescent art museum — a Jordaan cellar where UV light turns minerals and installations into something genuinely disorienting.
-
The National Maritime Museum
400,000 artifacts and a full-scale VOC ship docked outside — the Scheepvaartmuseum earns a half-day without question.
-
Montelbaanstoren
Locals call it Malle Jaap — ‘Crazy Jack’ — because the bell tower once ran so fast it had to be stopped.
-
Musée d’Orsay
Start on the 5th floor — that’s where the Monets and Van Goghs live. The clock windows over the Seine are worth the trip alone.
-
Changgyeonggung Palace
Changgyeonggung gets overlooked for Gyeongbokgung, but its residential scale and lotus pond make it the more human palace of Seoul’s five.
-
Changdeokgung Secret Garden
The Secret Garden reveals itself slowly — 78 acres of lotus ponds, 300-year-old trees, and royal pavilions tucked behind Changdeokgung Palace.
-
Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon is still a working neighborhood — locals actually live here, which makes wandering its alleys feel less like a tour and more like trespassing in the best way.
-
Sungnyemun Gate
Burned down by arson in 2008 and rebuilt by hand using Joseon-era methods — Sungnyemun isn’t just old Seoul, it’s Seoul refusing to disappear.
-
Insadong Culture Street
Insadong’s side alleys do more work than the main street — small galleries, hanji shops, and teahouses that tourists walking straight through entirely miss.
-
Deoksugung Palace
Deoksugung is the only royal palace in Seoul where a neoclassical stone hall sits steps from a Joseon throne room. That tension is the whole point.
-
Myeongdong Shopping Street
Myeongdong moves fast — K-beauty haggling by day, tteokbokki smoke and neon by night. Budget an extra hour you didn’t plan for.
-
Cafe Papeneiland Amsterdam
Papeneiland has been pouring jenever since 1642. The apple pie alone justifies the detour — the Delft tiles and pipe-smoke windows are just a bonus.
-
Int Aepjen Amsterdam
Sailors once paid their tabs here with live monkeys. In ‘t Aepjen has been pouring drinks in the same 1544 wooden building ever since.
-
Micropia Amsterdam
Micropia is the only museum on Earth built around microbes — and the Kiss-o-Meter alone makes it worth the detour.
