NAARDEN, NETHERLANDS
Naarden is the CUTEST town in the suburbs of Amsterdam. It’s about a 30 minute drive (without traffic) from the city center, and is the perfect picturesque Dutch village. Naarden is renowned for its well-preserved star fort, a unique architectural feature dating back to the 17th century. Look at the star shape on Google Maps!

We stumbled upon this town leaving Amsterdam in search of a nice spot for lunch (and girly pops did we find one). The weather was perfect and sitting out on the patio with views of the picturesque streets was a dream.
Here’s my cutie fam enjoying our lunch. :)
We ate at Kweek Foodbar, highly recommend. Below are some pictures from Naarden. Isn’t it perfect?! I want to go back right away.
