Looking for the best things to do in Amsterdam and Amsterdam activities that are a bit more off the beaten path? This Amsterdam travel guide includes tips, ideas & tourist traps in Amsterdam to avoid, plus insights into Amsterdam hidden gems.
Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy today's video all about the best things to do in Amsterdam. Let me know in the comments if there are any other activities you'd add, and as I mentioned in the video, you can find the link for my free map at the end :)
Thank you sooooo much for addressing the Anne Frank House!! Not many CZcams travel related channels covering AMS have done so in the past. Anne Frank was a GER girl born in Frankfurt, the city I've been residing in for 30+ years now. I don't remember the number of times I visited that important site of World History..... When I was in school, it was mandatory for GER students to read "The Diary Of Anne Frank" in either GER or History class. This is such a wonderful video on my most favorite city in all of Europe! 😍🥰I'm GER btw...
I’m so surprised to hear that, because to me Anne Frank House is one of the most important places in the city!! we also read her diary in Canada as part of our schooling, so maybe that’s why I see it as so significant. In any case, thanks so much for the lovely comment! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🫶
OMG... I need to take notes! I only have 3 days in Amsterdam but I already booked the Anne Frank House (yes, I stayed up until 1:00am to get the tickets 6 weeks in advance) and I'm going on the wine and cheese boat ride. Don't care how touristy it is. Cheese Museum is on my list, well... because cheese. :) You have some great ideas to add! I will be looking into them for sure. You will NOT find me in the pigeon place nor will your find me swinging from any high places either virtually or for real. Nope. I'm SO excited to go and see the beautiful city! Stroopwaffels and fries are going to make up a large part of my diet there. I can't resist. You've given me some really great ideas of places to see while I'm there. Ever thought of being a tour guide? You're amazingly knowledgable. As for figuring out how to see the tulips, it's mind boggling almost to the point where I don't know if I want to bother. 😳 That was one of the huge reasons I wanted to visit Amsterdam but now I'm thinking maybe not.
Probably the best video I have seen on Amsterdam! You cover so much and explain it so well both verbally and visually. The street art area looks so cool, Anne Franks home is on my list, and you gave so many things I would not have known to look into doing. I will bookmark this video for when I make it there. How many days to you thing it takes there to get through most of these spots you mention? Going to look for other videos you have done because of the great content you put out. Thanks!
I would add a bike tour in the Amsterdam Bos (forest)
It sounds very appealing !
Thanks for your lovely video. It is very helpful. We are planning to go in two months and this video has helped us. You have a beautiful speaking voice. Any suggestions for cheap souvenirs. We saw one video that showed keychains for 1 euro and was wondering if there were more like that in Amsterdam. Thanks for your assistance.
Awesome video, so many things I had no idea about!
Awesome video thank you!
You just got me more excited for my upcoming trip🙃, can’t wait to try the food.
amazing video, pronunciations, information, the whole lot!
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER !!!! I’m heading here in April and this map is perfect ! Thank you 😁
Yay! So happy I could help. Have an amazing time 🫶
I am too!
This is a GREAT compilation
Thanks so much for watching!

Would you please help me which travel ticket can cover amsterdam city centre and zaanse schans and return schiphol
I love the canal cruise but I just cant drink anything. Unless the have a WC!
Hi, would like to ask can you fly a small drone in amsterdam? do I need to get a special permit? Thanks
Would love to hear about the Royal Concertgebouw. It’s a beautiful concert space and my son loved performing there. I would like to visit it.
Question - should I learn some Dutch before traveling to Amsterdam? I have a year before I go, so now is the time to learn if I should!
Hi!! Honestly, you will get by absolutely fine with English. Amsterdam is very used to tourists and most Dutch people in customer service roles speak it perfectly. It’s of course polite to learn some basics like thank you, but I wouldn’t stress too much about taking formal lessons unless you really wanted to!
Can you please put next video on Oslo or Stockholm or Copenhagen?
Also including what/where to shop would be a great addition
No sorry.
19:38 What a great recap video 🎉🎉
Thank you so much
Hi, largest park in Amsterdam is Amsterdamse Bos and not Vondelpark. But I agree Vondelpark is nicer for a tourist to visit.
But bos has the blossoms trees😊
Do you plan to visit Valencia too?
Someday!! But no plans in the immediate future. It looks really nice though :)
I'm always up for a boat ride as long as there's no waves! I took the Uber boat on the thames and I absolutely loved it.
Funny enough, I make ebilskivers which are those little pancakes you mention in the video. Lol I fill mine with things like preserves, pastry cream, and ganache! Oh man, the ones with ganache, served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Those are amazing!
Oh yum that sounds so good!!! I love that you make them haha it’s be a daaangerous game for me if I knew how to 😂
@@HappytoWander lol you have to have the special pan. It's a good thing it's a bit time consuming (small pan). Deters me from making them! It's been a few years. Might have to make some this year 😁
Do you know what is really the best in Amsterdam by getting off the train like crazy, quickly visiting all the shops and then enjoying how beautiful Amsterdam is

Please don’t treat the women in the windows as a tourist attraction. And the RLD isn’t just prostitution and weed smoking. It’s the oldest part of the city, full of mideivel architecture and tourist attractions such as Our Lord in the Attic, the Oude Kerk, and great restaurants. That being said, I just finished my 13 visit in 13 years, and I’ve barely set foot in the RLD in several years, unless just passing through.
Misses literally loads of hidden gems, and just tells us the things everyone already knows, has this lady even been to Amsterdam 😆
What did she miss? Really thinking about buying a trip for next week
@@CedarTres Amsterdam bos, for the blossom trees, there is an artwork by Keith Haring about a mile from the center, Harlem which is gorgeous, noord Amsterdam for its artwork and graffiti, the further outside the horseshoe you go the canals are beautiful, willow trees and parks
