Christiania is easy to get to and a whole other little world. Gotta snag a hotdog and the Louisiana museum is a short train ride north and is an amazing modern art museum

if you’re interested in art history or history history, Amsterdam has a lot of sick museums and churches. these are just a few of my favourites (obviously check out the rijksmuseum, van gogh museum, and anne frank museum as well):
our lord in the attic - a hidden catholic church built into a canal house during a period when public catholic worship was banned. interesting story & made me feel connected to humanity.
rembrandt house - museum at a house where rembrandt lived and worked in during his 30s/40s. felt very intimate and inspiring to explore this space and learn more about his life and practice. i recommend trying to catch one of the etching demonstrations, really gives you an appreciation for his technique!
verzetsmuseum / museum of WWII resistance: tells the stories of how real people engaged in acts of resistance during the nazi occupation. it really gave me an appreciation for what’s at stake in resistance - how difficult, complex, often fatal, it is, and how necessary it is. go when you’re in a reflective mood.
oude kerk: my favourite church from my visit. big, lots of wood, not particularly flashy (it was at one point but then yknow, protestantism), strangely cozy and tranquil.
i went in november and happened to catch the sinterklaas parade as well, which was super fun despite not understanding a word that dutch santa was saying!

i’ve been thinking about nola this week because of mardi gras, and the ogden is one of the first things that comes to mind. it is probably my favorite museum in the country - all the work there is made by southern artists from every era in american history. really amazing stuff
please go for me if you find yourself in new orleans
