I lived in Amsterdam when I was young. I love this city. Be honest, rijks museum, van goeh are great, don't miss it. Walking along the canals that you will feel comfortable. Rivers, bridges, trees, bikes, houses, narrow streets combine all together to create a special picture. You will feel you are back to 18 century.
I have visited Amsterdam 3 times so far and it's my favourite city in the whole world!!Looking forward to go again! I think there are a lot more attractions to see in Amsterdam: 1. the Johan Cruijff Arena (Ajax Stadium) 2. A cheese factory and try the awesome gouda varieties 3. The IceBar Amsterdam 4. Nemo Science Museum 5. Opera and Ballet House 6. Day or night canal cruise 7. Dam Square and Royal Palace 8. Artis Royal Zoo and Micropia Exhibition Also outside of it: 1. Keukenhoff Gardens 2. Edam, Volendam, Zaanse Schans villages 3. Rotterdam port and food market 4. Utrecht picturesque city centre The Netherlands is an amazing country guys and the locals are so friendly and welcoming.. Definitely worth at least a visit during your lifetime.. 😍😍😊😊
Eleni Efthymiou I’ve been to the Netherlands 3 times as well but have only seen 7 and 8 on your list, and 3 and 4 on your Outside list. I can’t imagine not going back again to explore more :) I just went last month and visited Delft and Haarlem for the first time, and revisited den Haag and Amsterdam. I hope to make it to Eindhoven and Maastricht on a future trip :)
@@SpookyDarling i have been in Rotterdam, Utrecht, Delft, Nijmegen, Groningen and den Haag apart from Amsterdam and loved them all.. The funny thing is that the next time i go to the Netherlands i want to visit Maastricht and Eindhoven too like you.. 😊 And maybe Alkmaar.. 😊
@@elenieefthymiou NL is the first country outside the US I've visited, and this year I went to Scotland, England, and back to NL for a few days. I was curious to find out if I would fall deeply in love with every foreign city and country I visit, but as it turns out, I didn't. There's something about NL I can't quite put my finger on that makes it feel like home. Like things make sense there and feel right. I can't imagine not ever going back.

Really happy to have been born and raised in Amsterdam!! If you want to visit please be respectful to others and treat Amsterdam as your own lovely home-town.
Well for all the Dutch people stating to visit another city in the Netherlands: I'm also Dutch and live in Amsterdam, have lived in other cities as well, and I really enjoy just strolling around, exploring everything. It's a reallly special city so I definetely suggest visiting it first before going to other places in the Netherlands!
Only the renting bikes isn't such a good idea if you aren't used to riding a bike in cities like Amsterdam. I always see tourists at their bikes and it's very dangerous ;/ But all the other things are good :)
I agree. A cousin of mine lost her life riding a bike in Amsterdam and got hit by a truck. So if you're not a strong bike rider, I say skip it and use your feet or take public transportation.
Spent a week in Amsterdam this past July and had an amazing experience. Don’t rent a bike, you’ll get killed. I was smart enough to realize that and stay away. Also, the city really isn’t that big so me and my friends would walk everywhere. We’re from Manhattan so we’re used to it. Gorgeous city and some really friendly locals.
Tip: Be careful when buying flower bulbs at the Bollenmarkt! Recently a report came out that said only one percent of bulbs bought there actually end up blooming. This is mainly due to vendors selling dried out bulbs that they kept for too long. As a general rule, there really shouldn’t be any bulbs available between December and July, so any you encounter in that time will most likely be old dried up ones.
I live in the Netherlands and even worked in Amsterdam NDSM but i never enjoyed it like a tourist would. Maybe i should go on vacation in my own country
October is a great time of year to go... we were there for our second time last October and might be going again this year. it's nice to see many of the trees showing fall colours in addition to the beautiful buildings.
i amsterdam sign has gone - when we were there it was very busy at the front - we went to the reverse side of the sign - took photos - when we came home i just flipped the image horizontally - we had uncluttered images with no tourists on our side of the sign.
Trust me, im from amsterdam. Vondelpark is not quiet LOL. You mustve went there when it was somehow not busy, but vondelpark is usually very crowded, especially on sunny days
cheese museum in Jordaan, boat cruise (boatamsterdam includes drinks in the ticket), brewery in a windmill, avocado show restaurant, tussaud museun, heritage and red light walking tour :)
Progress they say shows when hard work is put into a venture. I was experiencing lapses in putting enough work into trading,and my job made it nearly impossible for me to earn. Until I came across Charlotte Anderson, turned my life around, I'm so grateful?
Seems you knew her recently. She has been my manager for past three months now. She has totally changed my financial state, Her experience over the years gives her edge over other traders, her strategy is profitable.
In 2 months I have close to $10,000 on my account with $1,000 as capital and have withdrawn up to $5,000 from it. without an affiliate program it is a bull run on the account.
I live in Dubai, Her strategies are superb and always gives accurate results,having her trade for me has really elevated me financially. I remember my first investment of $25k and she made me $34,700 just after 6 days of trading. Having Charlotte trade for me is still the best investment i made this year.?
I'm getting to understand the market properly, working with Charlotte Anderson i see how broad and profitable trading the online market can be . I'm most pleased to be under her mentor.
i work with a strategy which has proven effective and highly profitable across different platforms, Charlotte Anderson strategy is the best, she trades in my account using this strategy and I've gotten nothing but praise for her, She's turned my $3,000 account to $35k in just 2 months.
even though AMS doesnt have tall buildings making up a skyline the overview of the city is still amazing from up there. just go late in the day for good lighting conditions.
@@littlemissmello you can go Into the hotel (tree top) next to it ,just go in and take the lift for sky lounge, cost nothing,but warning dont buy anything to eat or drink, for the prices are high, and you have to buy anything. Just look at the view over the city.
hahaha, i saw a guy taking photos on the road, not bike path, get run over by a biker. those bikers are not pedestrian friendly; they don't slow down or stop
The food in Amsterdam is superb !! Local food is a must and many ideas on this video for our next visit 😃 Will keep them in mind for our next trip 👍 Awesome
Been there 4 times and going next week. I have some friends that live there and this video is literally the best one of them all to talk about the highlights about the city. There's obviously a whole lot more but such a great video.
As a dutchie that’s not from Amsterdam- I know it’s very different from the rest of the country, but I still love this city so much. Really hope to be able to move there one day🥰
Don't listen to people like Daan Made in Holland. Unfortunately every society and culture has bittered people. Amsterdam actually is a wonderful place to visit. Lots of art and beautiful architecture all around. Also I can happily inform you the people are very hospitable, and no, the Muslim people will not harass you as he claims.
@@chazefez9625 3 months late reply but I'd suggest chipsy King. It's a double dip fry place located all over the center and they're to die for. They're so nice. If you wanted something more local however you should try the sausage rolls in most street stores. You can't find any like them in England my mate
Those travel chip cards you showed don't work in the whole country, they are specific to GVB (Amsterdams local public transport company) and do NOT work with other companies in the netherlands. I should know because I'm a bus driver with a different company and we get tourist with those GVB cards all the time and have to refuse them. The one that works in the whole country is more yellowish colour (ov-chipcard).
CookiesForEveryone to add too that the chip card is only 7,50 one time price. After that is needs to be topped upped. Best case is to buy a ticket at a machine when traveling with public transport.
yes, I wondered about that when they said it's good for the whole country. we get a a chip card every time we visit... if we are there for 7 days we pay for 7 day card so we have unlimited use wherever we are in the city.
Oh yes! Back in the Mid 80's I met a young woman from Rotterdam who was also vacationing in Spain. (I was stationed in Germany) She visited me in Nuremberg and I visited her in Amsterdam. Everything was great at first and it still didn't work out! ?????
As a Dutch citizen I advise you to skip Amsterdam and go to Haarlem, Utrecht, Gouda, Delft, Leiden, Maastricht and Groningen instead. It's not what it used to be anymore. Also, if you rent a bike be sure you actually know how to ride a bike. The biggest annoyance of Dutch people are tourist on bikes who have no clue what they are doing.
I feel like as a tourist perspective you have to go to ams only once and than go to different places in the Netherlands, its definitely not what it use to be there are lots of chain shops but those in 9 straatjes are still different and the museums
Haarlemmer straat and Haarlemmerplein are so cute!! My favorite street, and when you have walked all the way trough it there are plenty breakfast/lunch places!!
I live in Amsterdam and there is another I Amsterdam sighn in osdorp nearby the sloterplas. Tourist never come there so you can take great photo’s with a lake at the back. You have to take tram 1 or 17 to come there.
I dont understand - why would anyone want to take a photo of the iamsterdam sign with nobody else around? that is the fun of it - to see all the other crazy people climbing on it etc.
I am a local I live in Amsterdam I want to dispel some things that he said that we’re not true. First thing the TravelCard that he mentions is only valid for Amsterdam GVB not the whole country. If you want something that is valid for the whole country you can purchase A blue OV- chipkaart for tourists the card costs about eight euros (one time fee) and it is valid for five years. If you want to use the card for the NS train and for the metro, trans, and buses then you need to maintain at least a balance of €20 on the card. If you only want to use it for the public transportation with an Amsterdam then there’s no minimum and you can use it as a means of pay as you go.
My boyfriend is dutch and were in a long distance relationship. We were both in Amsterdam and we stayed in the building with the red window door? type things at 0:54, in November and again in December. Absolutely amazing, his father's best friend owns the top three floors and is trying to sell it. It's worth about € 1.250.000 or even more. Central Amsterdam and the views are incredible. One of the best experiences of my life. The only thing that sucks about that apartment is that it's a tiny spiral stair case that fits one person to get up and down, so you get a workout every time you leave and come back. But I could get used to that!
Sad to see so many "dislikes" on this video. I felt the guide was to-the-point and very informative (for the time period). It laid a great basis for me to begin my travel plan for my days in Amsterdam. Thanks!
Maar dat was volgens mij nogal dom. Er komen echt niet minder toeristen naar de stad nu dat ding weg is. Bovendien lokte het veel mensen weg uit het centrum naar het Museumplein (die er ook bleven hangen), terwijl ze zich nu weer over de stad verspreiden.
There's also IAmsterdam signs at Schiphol airport Plaza, Amsterdam Osdorp next to Sloterplas and there's one traveling around as well, currently in East at Oostpoort.
Best places? Go away from Amsterdam and see for example The Hague, Haarlem, Utrecht, Maastricht, Groningen, Deventer or something. It's much nicer nowdays.
Been to the banksy one it was really good. I suggest going to the vondelpark!!! Real good spot to drink some beer with friends. I grown up around there as a kid. Love to see this!
Waaait with the “travel chip card” they’re showing in this video, you can only travel with public transport in Amsterdam. Not in the rest of the Netherlands!
@@joshuaevans4714 Of course you can use OV Chipkaart all over the Netherlands, but it certainly doesn't cost only 7,50 a day. 7,50 is the cost of the card, then you need to load it up, as you would an Oyster in London.
right... its only valid for public transport in Amsterdam (7,50 was the 24-h-day-travelcard) ... its not allow to drive with this card in other cities or Netherlands Trains (NS) ...
I don't understand why these touristy videos don't mention sports in the city. Amsterdam is home to one of the most famous football clubs around the world and the most successful team in the Netherlands where many foreign visitors visit their stadium that has been named after the best ever footballer of the Netherlands, Johan Cruyff.
It's because it's too bland in the North of Amsterdam with no real character like the rest of the city. I'm an Amsterdammer and I wouldn't even recommend to my foreign friends.
@@aidygooner Then you are a bad Amsterdammer. Even all my Asian friends are fans of Noord since there are a lot of cultural places, event places, art halls, and everything there is extremely cute. So I see why my friends like that. There is so much to do! You couldn't be more wrong. But then again, places like Ceuvel or NDSM are among my favorite in the netherlands.
@@letheas6175 maybe I was being harsh regarding me not recommending the north side of Amsterdam as I know there are things to do there too but south of the river ij is where proper Amsterdam is and what I'd recommend first.
@@aidygooner I think a complete Amsterdam trip cannot be completed without going to Noord, that's how connected I feel it is or should be. Yes it has a different vibe, but that's also the exact reason why people need to check it out in my opinion. But to each their own opinion:)
Daan Made in Holland as we live here it is nothing special, for people who arent for europe for example its a whole diffrent world..just being here able to look at the city is enough for most of them as it is a world of change. I agree though as a ducth citizen i have to agree it sucks to live here to be honest...
Another thing to do in Amsterdam: get the hell out of there and explore nicer cities like Den Haag, Utrecht, Groningen, Den Bosch, Maastricht. That way you'll get to learn real Dutch cities, because Amsterdam is one big tourist trap.
Some advice when going to the Netherlands. Don’t listen to travel advice from people in the other cities in NL. They are jealous because Amsterdam has more tourist in 1 month than the rest of the country in a year.
I love AMS... only avoid Damrak as it is filled with American fast food chains. the rest of the city is dominated by small independently owned businesses and there are endless quiet residential streets!
These are good, but it also includes tourist traps. Coffeeshops' for instance, aren't really something locals get to. A lot of things are cool, but overpriced, like all the waffles and bakery stuff. If you want to get a bike, know how to bike first. It's really awful how some tourists ride a bike in Amsterdam. Definitely not like locals. And the Netherlands are more than only Amsterdam. If you want to discover more about it, visit This is Holland next to the A'dam Tower, you'll discover the Netherlands in a unique way within one hour! After that, take a train ticket and visit the countryside.
I keep seeing this thing about locals not going to coffeeshops everywhere, I live in the NL for 4 years now and in 9/10 coffeeshops the majority of smokers are dutch. Of course if you go to the bulldog its 99% tourists but everywhere else its not. A lot of dutch people smoke weed, why does everyone try to refuse this? Apart from that completely agree with your comment :)
People in Amsterdam are the biggest douchebags in the Country. I think Amsterdam is the last please you should visit. You over pay on everything, it's crowded as fuck and the like I said, the locals are complete smugs
Think about it, there is a reason why we are not always the most friendly! Tourist are taking over and everything mentioned in this video had become unlivable because of tourism. We are very friendly when you get to know us, but yes, we are protective of that tiny bit of Amsterdam left. So if you don’t like us, great, stay the fuck out.
Also the best way to get around , for tourists ... is walking !! Cycling is actually quite hazardous if you’re not used to it and not really necessary ... you don’t notice so much of your surrounding when concentrating on cycling. And the city is small enough that you don’t need it.
I do not like Amsterdam, i think its overrated. It's always busy with tons of tourists, way too many hipsters who go there only to smoke green, you never find parking, plus everything looks the same and i find boring and stressful even taking a walk there, bikers and people roam everywhere. Rotterdam is much bigger and modern with less tourism, plus the parks and lakes are amazing. Gouda, Leiden, Haarlem were more enjoyable to me. The beauty of Netherlands is also in the small towns and villages.
I lived in Amsterdam when I was young. I love this city. Be honest, rijks museum, van goeh are great, don't miss it. Walking along the canals that you will feel comfortable. Rivers, bridges, trees, bikes, houses, narrow streets combine all together to create a special picture. You will feel you are back to 18 century.
museum are overrated and expensive and 3 hour waiting line (not a joke!!)
I have visited Amsterdam 3 times so far and it's my favourite city in the whole world!!Looking forward to go again! I think there are a lot more attractions to see in Amsterdam:
1. the Johan Cruijff Arena (Ajax Stadium)
2. A cheese factory and try the awesome gouda varieties
3. The IceBar Amsterdam
4. Nemo Science Museum

1. Keukenhoff Gardens
2. Edam, Volendam, Zaanse Schans villages
3. Rotterdam port and food market
4. Utrecht picturesque city centre

There's something about NL I can't quite put my finger on that makes it feel like home. Like things make sense there and feel right. I can't imagine not ever going back.
@@SpookyDarling totally understand coz i felt exactly the same way! ❤️
Thanks a lot! Much better than the video itself hahaha
The coffeeshops you mentioned are not for drinking coffee but for smoking weed and other soft drugs. Cafe are for drinking coffee
But you can also drink coffee in a coffeeshop so...
Amenda i think everyone knows ;)
Pim what
Pim true if you don’t mind the smell.
yes, everyone knows!
Tip from a local, take a canal tour or hire a boat, but first go to the coffeeshop and smoke something, that gives you a lot of fun 😂😂😂😂
Preaching the wrong stuff here Janus 😂
I enjoyed Amsterdam much much more just by walking through all the streets and squares. See you again Amsterdam! 😍
exactly... truly the most walkable city on the planet!
thank you comrade

Y’all need tourist money so chill out
This city looks so beautiful and full of ancient gems. I wish I could go to Amsterdam one day
I live near Amsterdam, its gorgeous!
This is a great format to introduce a city. I wish there were more videos like this on other cities as well

I went in July 2013 for a couple of days and it was definately packed. Off season or shoulder season it is not so bad
Amsterdamse Bos is better

Dont do the city view from the tower. Amsterdam doesnt have a good sky line, its beauty is found on the streets
or on top of the amsterdam centrum public library; great view and a sandwich and no entrance fee
even though AMS doesnt have tall buildings making up a skyline the overview of the city is still amazing from up there. just go late in the day for good lighting conditions.
Alternatively just hit the roof of Nemo Science museum.
nonsense, there are no tall buildings
@@littlemissmello you can go Into the hotel (tree top) next to it ,just go in and take the lift for sky lounge, cost nothing,but warning dont buy anything to eat or drink, for the prices are high, and you have to buy anything. Just look at the view over the city.
pls don't advertise tourists on bikes, they are really dangerous on the roads with us
That's right young Dutch girl.
@@Revolver1981 Lots of tourists walk on the bikeroads instead of the pedestrians pavement!

Too late for that now!
Thank you for travel guides! This video helped me very much.^^
Very informative video with with beautiful shots. THANKS.
Im going here in summer and so exited because last time i have trawelled somewhere it was like 3 years ago in Sweden
Love the vlog!! Looks like so much fun. I've quite literally been watching your travel vlogs all day (hi from Netherlands!)
The food in Amsterdam is superb !! Local food is a must and many ideas on this video for our next visit 😃 Will keep them in mind for our next trip 👍 Awesome
Been there 4 times and going next week. I have some friends that live there and this video is literally the best one of them all to talk about the highlights about the city. There's obviously a whole lot more but such a great video.
As a dutchie that’s not from Amsterdam- I know it’s very different from the rest of the country, but I still love this city so much. Really hope to be able to move there one day🥰
Never really thought about visiting but you guys are making me want to with this video!
100% worth a visit!

Don't listen to people like Daan Made in Holland. Unfortunately every society and culture has bittered people. Amsterdam actually is a wonderful place to visit. Lots of art and beautiful architecture all around. Also I can happily inform you the people are very hospitable, and no, the Muslim people will not harass you as he claims.
The food is to die for!
iamtimchung Amsterdam is Amazing ruclips.net/video/r1g1rb0w1b8/видео.html
What food did you have? Any tips?
Food poisoning, the silent killer.
@@chazefez9625 3 months late reply but I'd suggest chipsy King. It's a double dip fry place located all over the center and they're to die for. They're so nice. If you wanted something more local however you should try the sausage rolls in most street stores. You can't find any like them in England my mate
@@chazefez9625 fries are always fucking awesome in Europe. Hit up some of the street food places too the Dutch know how to deep fry them a snack.
Very insightful! Makes me wanna go back to visit the city! 👍🏻
Gosh so dreamy
Recommendation: Rent a paddle boat and tour the canals, you can stop at any of the designated stops and get off and tour the city.
fuck that
Those travel chip cards you showed don't work in the whole country, they are specific to GVB (Amsterdams local public transport company) and do NOT work with other companies in the netherlands. I should know because I'm a bus driver with a different company and we get tourist with those GVB cards all the time and have to refuse them.
The one that works in the whole country is more yellowish colour (ov-chipcard).
CookiesForEveryone to add too that the chip card is only 7,50 one time price. After that is needs to be topped upped. Best case is to buy a ticket at a machine when traveling with public transport.
Als iemand die voor de NS heeft gewerkt ben ik het volledig met je eens.
Ook wij kregen ze vaak langs, of ze betalen gewoon helemaal niet.
yes, I wondered about that when they said it's good for the whole country. we get a a chip card every time we visit... if we are there for 7 days we pay for 7 day card so we have unlimited use wherever we are in the city.
"Things to do in AMSTERDAM"
Oh yes! Back in the Mid 80's I met a young woman from Rotterdam who was also vacationing in Spain. (I was stationed in Germany) She visited me in Nuremberg and I visited her in Amsterdam. Everything was great at first and it still didn't work out! ?????
probably gonna study in Amsterdam in 2021:) great video
As a Dutch citizen I advise you to skip Amsterdam and go to Haarlem, Utrecht, Gouda, Delft, Leiden, Maastricht and Groningen instead. It's not what it used to be anymore. Also, if you rent a bike be sure you actually know how to ride a bike. The biggest annoyance of Dutch people are tourist on bikes who have no clue what they are doing.
tijmen131 we heard Haarlem was awesome so would love to check that out next time!
I feel like as a tourist perspective you have to go to ams only once and than go to different places in the Netherlands, its definitely not what it use to be there are lots of chain shops but those in 9 straatjes are still different and the museums
Don’t skip Amsterdam, the city is amazing ruclips.net/video/hXxgmHP4SCQ/видео.html
Never skip it! It's amazing and the best. Just go to some other cities as well :)
Amsterdam is the greatest city on earth! it's like walking around in a dream... it is a never ending party and celebration of life!
I'm going in two weeks I can't wait 🙌🏻
Was it nice? You got high a lot :)? I´m actually going in 2 weeks from now too! Gonna smoke so fucking much ;D!
I'll be arriving in 2 months and this is soooooo helpful. Thank you UNILAD!
Would love to see one for Budapest!
Awesome ! We'll do our best :)
Leidseplein...very lively area with hip restaurants n all
yes! and there are many more areas like that. it is a never ending party!
Ideal/Dream🤗🤗🤗 destination...
Cant wait till I get my Passport
Anyone from Kenya😉
Yea Nlikuwa hapo Dec 31 2019..mashada mbaya
Haarlemmer straat and Haarlemmerplein are so cute!! My favorite street, and when you have walked all the way trough it there are plenty breakfast/lunch places!!
also a good place to get by a car (taxis)
I live in Amsterdam and there is another I Amsterdam sighn in osdorp nearby the sloterplas. Tourist never come there so you can take great photo’s with a lake at the back. You have to take tram 1 or 17 to come there.
Rosa Z mooi freerunparkje is dat zeg
I dont understand - why would anyone want to take a photo of the iamsterdam sign with nobody else around? that is the fun of it - to see all the other crazy people climbing on it etc.
I am a local I live in Amsterdam I want to dispel some things that he said that we’re not true. First thing the TravelCard that he mentions is only valid for Amsterdam GVB not the whole country. If you want something that is valid for the whole country you can purchase A blue OV- chipkaart for tourists the card costs about eight euros (one time fee) and it is valid for five years. If you want to use the card for the NS train and for the metro, trans, and buses then you need to maintain at least a balance of €20 on the card. If you only want to use it for the public transportation with an Amsterdam then there’s no minimum and you can use it as a means of pay as you go.
My boyfriend is dutch and were in a long distance relationship. We were both in Amsterdam and we stayed in the building with the red window door? type things at 0:54, in November and again in December. Absolutely amazing, his father's best friend owns the top three floors and is trying to sell it. It's worth about € 1.250.000 or even more. Central Amsterdam and the views are incredible. One of the best experiences of my life. The only thing that sucks about that apartment is that it's a tiny spiral stair case that fits one person to get up and down, so you get a workout every time you leave and come back. But I could get used to that!
there is NO WAY you could buy a BUILDING for 1.2million, that only gets you a small app in amsterdam, NICE JOKE
I'm going to Amsterdam next month. Can't wait to visit all these places for foodies!!!
The sign I AMSTERDAM is taken away nowadays!
Its now on the other side of the river 👌🏻
too many tourists taking photos from the street plus crazy dammer bikers equals accident waiting to happen
Ohh no! I’m looking to have a picture in it. Will visiting Amsterdam April next year. Sad 😢
Leidseplein, Red Light District?
Heel overzichtelijke video !
Mooie fotografie en goede tips
2:31 had to back out and see what the channel was called, nice one UNILAD
Oh man i like Amsterdam💙
Love ! Love ! Love! ❤❤❤
Sad to see so many "dislikes" on this video. I felt the guide was to-the-point and very informative (for the time period). It laid a great basis for me to begin my travel plan for my days in Amsterdam. Thanks!
Any racism on your travel?
Thank u for ur information 👌,i really appreciate.
Make a video about Rotterdam.
Jayden Hughes love Rotterdam. Greetings from Amsterdam ruclips.net/video/Oe1O5orrgm8/видео.html
no.
December 4, 2018 the "I AMSTERDAM" sign on Museum square has been removed by the council after 15 years.
Maar dat was volgens mij nogal dom. Er komen echt niet minder toeristen naar de stad nu dat ding weg is. Bovendien lokte het veel mensen weg uit het centrum naar het Museumplein (die er ook bleven hangen), terwijl ze zich nu weer over de stad verspreiden.
Kut halsema
AND ITS BACK so whatever
@@MMijdus it was buttugly, that was true
There's also IAmsterdam signs at Schiphol airport Plaza, Amsterdam Osdorp next to Sloterplas and there's one traveling around as well, currently in East at Oostpoort.
Thank you for the nice video. I am intrigued now !
Best places?
Go away from Amsterdam and see for example The Hague, Haarlem, Utrecht, Maastricht, Groningen, Deventer or something. It's much nicer nowdays.
Inneeh BlogspotNL Rotterdam 😁

Gast ga eens goed Engels praten.
Lol this is bullshit after amsterdam there is nothing better in holland. Everything else sucks after amsterdam.
Haha met andere woorden: optyfen! *hint hint* xD
Tourists are the are a hazard on the roads in Amsterdam !
I love Amsterdam
Been to the banksy one it was really good. I suggest going to the vondelpark!!! Real good spot to drink some beer with friends. I grown up around there as a kid. Love to see this!
Waaait with the “travel chip card” they’re showing in this video, you can only travel with public transport in Amsterdam. Not in the rest of the Netherlands!
Is that the OV-Chipkaart? If so, you can certainly use it elsewhere in the Netherlands. I use it in Rotterdam.
@@joshuaevans4714 Of course you can use OV Chipkaart all over the Netherlands, but it certainly doesn't cost only 7,50 a day. 7,50 is the cost of the card, then you need to load it up, as you would an Oyster in London.
right... its only valid for public transport in Amsterdam (7,50 was the 24-h-day-travelcard) ... its not allow to drive with this card in other cities or Netherlands Trains (NS) ...
I don't understand why these touristy videos don't mention sports in the city. Amsterdam is home to one of the most famous football clubs around the world and the most successful team in the Netherlands where many foreign visitors visit their stadium that has been named after the best ever footballer of the Netherlands, Johan Cruyff.
I think the north of Amsterdam is so underrater, you can go with the ferry and enjoy a much more chill Amsterdam.
It's because it's too bland in the North of Amsterdam with no real character like the rest of the city. I'm an Amsterdammer and I wouldn't even recommend to my foreign friends.
@@aidygooner Then you are a bad Amsterdammer. Even all my Asian friends are fans of Noord since there are a lot of cultural places, event places, art halls, and everything there is extremely cute. So I see why my friends like that. There is so much to do! You couldn't be more wrong. But then again, places like Ceuvel or NDSM are among my favorite in the netherlands.
@@letheas6175 maybe I was being harsh regarding me not recommending the north side of Amsterdam as I know there are things to do there too but south of the river ij is where proper Amsterdam is and what I'd recommend first.
@@aidygooner I think a complete Amsterdam trip cannot be completed without going to Noord, that's how connected I feel it is or should be. Yes it has a different vibe, but that's also the exact reason why people need to check it out in my opinion.
But to each their own opinion:)
Vondelpark quiet? Maybe when the weather is bad! Else it’s heaving. Still a great park though. Just not quiet at all!
I've been to Amsterdam several times with the guys, but they just get high all day and we don't get to do any of this stuff.
Daan Made in Holland as we live here it is nothing special, for people who arent for europe for example its a whole diffrent world..just being here able to look at the city is enough for most of them as it is a world of change. I agree though as a ducth citizen i have to agree it sucks to live here to be honest...
fish and banana that’s actually very sad to hear. You are missing out on so much.
MDMA snuiven..?
you need to get new friends then! waste of time...
I don't know why Amsterdam is so popular. It looks boring
We are waiting for Morocco ❤😉
Hopefully soon!
Morocco is not a city.
Going this weekend buzzing for it
Hope we can come back here in Amsterdam . We missed some of your spots. Zaanse schans is nice!
Don’t rent a rb&b we have a house problem in Amsterdam just go in a hotel
Yes! Thanks!
Best things to go when you go dam, smoke bare weed and after you’re stoned go bang a brass, won’t be a disappointing weekend
Yo you should check out the prostitues with the blue lights xd
You could go on a boat tour of the canals with Those Dam Boat Guys
The greenhouse coffee shop great coffee and cakes !!!
i live in the jordaan😂
Another thing to do in Amsterdam: get the hell out of there and explore nicer cities like Den Haag, Utrecht, Groningen, Den Bosch, Maastricht. That way you'll get to learn real Dutch cities, because Amsterdam is one big tourist trap.
gyqz such bull. Maybe dam square is but the tourists usually don't even get out the canal area. Amsterdam is beautiful and a lot of fun.
And Haarlem
They should, its crowded here in amsterdam!
Some advice when going to the Netherlands. Don’t listen to travel advice from people in the other cities in NL. They are jealous because Amsterdam has more tourist in 1 month than the rest of the country in a year.
I love AMS... only avoid Damrak as it is filled with American fast food chains. the rest of the city is dominated by small independently owned businesses and there are endless quiet residential streets!
Great video. Heading there this weekend for some street photography ndsm looks perfect 😊👍🏻
Great video 👍😀
These are good, but it also includes tourist traps. Coffeeshops' for instance, aren't really something locals get to. A lot of things are cool, but overpriced, like all the waffles and bakery stuff. If you want to get a bike, know how to bike first. It's really awful how some tourists ride a bike in Amsterdam. Definitely not like locals. And the Netherlands are more than only Amsterdam. If you want to discover more about it, visit This is Holland next to the A'dam Tower, you'll discover the Netherlands in a unique way within one hour! After that, take a train ticket and visit the countryside.
I keep seeing this thing about locals not going to coffeeshops everywhere, I live in the NL for 4 years now and in 9/10 coffeeshops the majority of smokers are dutch. Of course if you go to the bulldog its 99% tourists but everywhere else its not. A lot of dutch people smoke weed, why does everyone try to refuse this?
Apart from that completely agree with your comment :)
Guy van Nifterik Bro, tourists drive awful with their bikes but trust me the Amsterdamers ain't better.
Greetings from Amsterdam ruclips.net/video/hXxgmHP4SCQ/видео.html
Daan Made in Holland bro I'm 20, but coffeeshops are trash. If you wanna get a joint just do it at home.
nananananana This is bullshit
I live in amsterdam and please dont hire bikes i have to zigzag through them all day
Amsterdam really is a wonderous and
authentic place !
You made a functional yet very atractive video out of it ......
r.i.p. Theo van Gogh Greetings from Amazing Amsterdam
Kees Manuel you forgot to post the link to your video
Janus van Zyl ruclips.net/video/Oe1O5orrgm8/видео.html
Weer een toeristen video voor Amsterdam....
Goed he. En vanuit hier kunnen ze het hele Land in gaan en verkennen. Maak je niet druk alles komt goed. =o)
lmao the whining of locals in this comment section
People in Amsterdam are the biggest douchebags in the Country. I think Amsterdam is the last please you should visit. You over pay on everything, it's crowded as fuck and the like I said, the locals are complete smugs
Amsterdam is the greatest city in the world and it's citizens very friendly and enlightened.
The dutch (especially Amsterdammers) can be agressive bikers😅. And we don’t want you to die.
Think about it, there is a reason why we are not always the most friendly! Tourist are taking over and everything mentioned in this video had become unlivable because of tourism. We are very friendly when you get to know us, but yes, we are protective of that tiny bit of Amsterdam left. So if you don’t like us, great, stay the fuck out.
Well@@miker7920 , just fuck off then.. we don't want you here..
You forgot the Johan Cruyff arena
Also the best way to get around , for tourists ... is walking !! Cycling is actually quite hazardous if you’re not used to it and not really necessary ... you don’t notice so much of your surrounding when concentrating on cycling. And the city is small enough that you don’t need it.
Nice video..
God bless always..
From the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I do not like Amsterdam, i think its overrated. It's always busy with tons of tourists, way too many hipsters who go there only to smoke green, you never find parking, plus everything looks the same and i find boring and stressful even taking a walk there, bikers and people roam everywhere. Rotterdam is much bigger and modern with less tourism, plus the parks and lakes are amazing. Gouda, Leiden, Haarlem were more enjoyable to me. The beauty of Netherlands is also in the small towns and villages.
you wanna hug it out?
PARKING HE SAID HA HA HA HA AH WHAT A JOKER
rotterdam is not bigger, its polluted, filled with cars and high crime
if people would like cities like seatle or atlanta rotterdam would be popular, but its not, people HATE those places
