- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | Amsterdam - Europe's best-preserved 17th-century city - is simultaneously quaint and jarring, traditional and modern. Filled with history and still happy-go-lucky, it's a delight to explore. Uniquely entertaining Amsterdam shows off its Rembrandts and Van Goghs, more bikes than cars, flirting prostitutes, and pot-filled coffeeshops - all under tall, skinny facades leaning out over placid canals. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #amsterdam

Speaking of pot, this whole series is a dream to binge watch while high af. Each one a half hour vacation.
Jep, haha.
😆 😆
Mcgibs, did you know Rick Steves is a HUGE proponent of recreational and medicinal marijuana legalization/decriminalization!! He has done tremendous work in Michigan and several other states fighting for our common sense right to use, possess, and cultivate cannabis. Definitely a man of culture!! You might not guess it but Rick tokes the herb haha. Seriously though, he's done some really great work helping us to get common sense cannabis legislation. Only made me respect him all the more. Cheers bud!
My ideal Saturday morning consists of enjoying a cup of coffee, smoking a little weed, and binge-watching Rick Steves’ Europe
I watch it with alcohol. Sober, too.
I think they edited out the part where he buys some pot. lol
You KNOW he did!
"Throughout the Netherlands, places selling marijuana are called "coffeeshops." For decades now, the Dutch, like many Europeans, view marijuana as a soft drug - like tobacco and alcohol. Marijuana use is tolerated. But hard drugs are strictly forbidden." -Rick.
They cut out more than that in the red light district
good for him
Your right
I was in Amsterdam last summer, and I have been to most of the places in this video, people are friendly, food is just amazing 👌I think Netherlands is my favorite country in the world 💯
I need to visit!!!
One day, I will visit :)
Food amazing?
Ek voel die selfde oor daardie land en hul mense.
huh
I lived in the Netherlands for nearly 15 years. I loved the Dutch people for many reason, and fell in love with their country. I even learned their language. I highly recommend this as a FIRST STOP for visitors who have never been to Europe, as the people are bilingual for certain, yet are likely to speak 4-5 languages. You won't be disappointed. HINT - Take a B&B and you'll learn a whole not more of the people, the culture, the history, and city.
Your name is finnish?

This channel is a dream itself.
To all τhe people who create, work and produce here you're creating much more than just travelling content.
You're creating will for life!
Thank you.
I could have been in this. Haha.
I was cycling with my young daughter in her childseat in front of me when I got stopped by Rick's crew, if they could film me for this travelshow about Amsterdam. I was quite suspisious because I never heard of Rick Steves, but finally agreed. Three times I had to cycle towards theme.
Unfortunately we didn't make the cut. :)
Thats super cool!
Jammer weer hè 🙈
"What would one gram of marijuana look like?"
LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW ALREADY RICK PLAYA PLAYA
I don't know, he seems kind of naive. He referred to buying unrolled cannabis as "loose leaf".
Who says that?
In one of his books he referred to blond hash as "white hash". I wrote to him and he actually wrote back and thanked me for my correction.
Punk fk u
xCoreProductions that was my thought exactly because the Netherlands is the country that supports soft drug use. Well one of the only ones anyways. I think it’s really cool that they give freedom to do what ever you want pretty much.
He’s just older. He still knows what a gram is.
Give Steve some credit guys 😆
LOL, Rick Steves playing dumb about how much a gram of pot is.
huhuh 😂😂👌
WOah i found Eric!!!
+Carlos Alfonso woo! I leave comments all around random videos so you'll have to watch them all to find them. 😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂I know right??😂😂😂😂😂 I'm going to act totally clueless like Rick Steven's when I go to Amsterdam next week....
your glass must be half empty poor Beardbrand.. Sorry for you to only capture the negative things of life.. Wish you all the best though
Visited Amsterdam dozens of times, can attest that the city is absolutely gorgeous.
Qi Xiao me too, my favorite city in Europe.
Favorite city I've been to in Europe. Busy but yet doesn't feel hectic. Everyone just seems to be relaxed and laid back
Greetings from Hanoi to my Dutch friends ! Hopefully you coming back Hanoi after this pandemic! Missing Amsterdam!
It is a smart country, full of tolerance, passion and wonderful arts. It is the place being blessed, thanks for the sharing. Keep on sharing!
Amsterdam have the right idea with regards to marijuana. It should be the same all over the world. Just my opinion. The store clerk was so spot on when she said, "in Amsterdam, we believe it's better to tolerate than to put people in prison." So true!
I agree, I mean it's gonna happen anyway... Just... This way is safer. For everyone. Thumbs up to Dutch people! ;)
TJ Anderson for me if you like it and doesn't hurt your brain and is a soft drug, and also doesn't affect me. Do it, I don't care
Ik right! We should behave and approach some
things like the dutch!
TA 5
TA 5 just so everyone knows. Less than 1%. Of prison is for marijuana. He’s lying
The Rijksmuseum alone is worth a visit to Amsterdam. Truly a magnificent museum where one can spend an entire day!
Amsterdam is such a wonderful place to live. Light and love from The Philippines.
Hands down.. One of the most pleasing and amazing online traveling experience.. Keep up the good work, Rick...
My favourite City in Europe 🇨🇦‼️🇳🇱💕
Went there in October 1993, fell in love with a wonderful Dutch girl, loved it he people, food, cannibis, beer and the city has an incredible intoxicating free happy energy. Best city in the world.
Rick Steves really is the best travel-content creator I know. Such a nice guy too!
I went to Amsterdam and I'll never forget it everytime I see a video or photo of Amsterdam I feel positivity
Recently started watching your videos. Have fallen in love with your creations, so well researched, wonderfully articulated and beautifully captured, a lethal combination. ☺
That Van Gogh part was unexpectedly heavy.
And if you ever go to Amsterdam or Haarlem (idk) i suggest you to just wander around, get lost. It's cool to see parts they don't tell you about on the internet. Being Dutch myself i know alot of cool places in Amsterdam you never hear about. So i suggest you go just wander arround. If you're lost you can always ask for help, i'm sure alot of people are willing to help you
Why is army here
yes true the best way to explore amsterdam is with a native and when you take some hits from the dutch you will get lost anyways but amsterdam is so nice to walk trough
Rosa Faas I am planning for a solo trip from India .. is it safe for girls ?
@@bangaloredays745 I'm a bit late but yeah it's pretty safe
@@bangaloredays745 "is it safe for girls?" LOL!
I can't get enough of Rick Stevens travel knowledge, even so I saw most of the places he has visits...
I Was in Amsterdam on September 2019, very exciting on 100 canal, cruising, traditional bridge, building architecture, Rembrant painter..etc🌿🙏
I visited Amsterdam last summer, and I think it might be my favorite place in the world so far. The people were so friendly and the food was amazing. The city was beautiful and riding a bike around was very simple. I hope to one day visit again or even realize my dream of living in Europe. Can anyone recommend a city in Europe that has a similar vibe to Amsterdam?
+Conner Hendrick Perhaps look at other cities in The Netherlands. Groningen, Maastricht, Utrecht, Den Bosch and Nijmegen are some of my favorite places!
What about Den Haag? I think the king lives there.
Berlin
Conner Hendrick utrecht
Lisbon - A "forgotten" capital of Europe. Almost same view on soft drugs and very open, vibrant and colorfull.. and much cheaper than most european capitals, with lots of sun
I was born in Holland, in the south. Very nice video. amusing!! Thank you!
J'adore. Je l'ai visité. Pour moi c'est l'une des plus belles villes au monde 🗺 ❤️❤️❤️❤️j'aimerais y retourner 😘😘
Beautiful country .. very peaceful environment.. thank you for uploading this beautiful video
I love how they edited in the little moment that Rick almost got run over by a bike. That is probably the most Amsterdam thing there is. And the reason why we sometimes hate tourist. Look out where you walk.
Hate is such a strong word...
Awesome video of Amsterdam! Thank you for producing it Rick. I never leave on a trip without your traveling guide. Thank you for producing them
Dutch people are awesome. I can't wait to visit your beautiful country.
Great work Rick!! I just realized this one was just posted today! I enjoyed all your videos and i hope I could travel in Europe and learn all diverse cultures like you did. You are awesome!!
What an excellent video, nicely presented and good easy pace. Nice look at the city. Thumbs up.
You are incredible Rick! Keep it up!
Wonderful presentations. Life filled with so many colors.Highly charmed!
Fantastic job Steve, really appreciate your work!
One of the best travel videos I have seen ❤️ great places shown with great insights. Perfect script.. Almost every other line can be a caption to a picture and it will be a small little story in itself.
This is amazing story of city with Van Gogh’s art and Anne Frank of Amsterdam. Thank you RS!♥️👏👍
It’s true because I’m an artist in heart and would like to visit every museum in Amsterdam at least for a week to immerse myself in Van Gogh’s life and his arts. am crazy about his sorrow, passion and the talent. I don’t think he knew himself.😢he just wanted paint everything around in his short life. RIP.🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Amazing content and your choice of good guides who know so much of their cities & history we all learn so much more ❤️
I have so much love for Amsterdam, it’s the one place I feal at home in,
It's so amazing how good your videos are, especially for it being a 2015 release.
This is great and resourceful! Thank you!
Rick Steve.I have watched more that a dozen of your videos and wish to especially thank you for your video on the "THE NETHERLANDS BEYOND AMESTERDAM.Excellent again! My grandfather Dirk Groot was born in North Holland in Wormerveer in 1846.
I can watch this over and over again.
I agree!
The Netherlands is my favorite European country!!!! Livable, plenty to see and do. Amazing food and people!
Hello
Hola
Very nice video, really calming/soothing and fun to watch.
Rick Steves AT HIS BEST!
Age and health forbid me from travel. Thank you Rick for your wonderful presentation ions. Clear and understandable introductions to each country. I so enjoy travelling with you. A sincere thank you.
Beautiful europe😍thanke you rick steves to show this beauty 😍😍😍
Great video about amazing, friendly city.
Rick you have done a great job capturing the feel of this dynamic and vibrant city.
Besides the big two of London and Paris, Amsterdam is my favorite European city. The canals are so beautiful. I like how the trams run in the middle of the street. It's also cool how most people ride bikes- the city isn't congested with trucks. There are a lot of hot women in Amsterdam.
I don't smoke weed, but I respect the rights of those who do. It's a victimless crime.
As for prostitution, live and let live. I personally would've pay for sex since I wouldn't sleep with a woman who has been with so many guys. However, a person should be able to do whatever they want with their body, as long as they do so safely.
The Anne Frank museum is a must-see
23:20 Vondel Park is beautiful. I love the diversity of Amsterdam
Peter Parker Hi dear hw rr u please can I be you friend
Rick in bike lane @ 4:50. Loved our first trip last year!!!!
So Beautiful Amsterdam ❤️

Amsterdam is very pretty.
Thanks Rick, another virtual trip to my hometown.
Thanks Rick! Used your audio tours and loved it
Amsterdam is great!! I will visit it soon that's for sure. Thank You👍👍
Amsterdam was an absolute beautiful experience! Can't wait to return this summer
This video was originally one of the biggest inspirations and helpers when I was planning my trip last year
Thank you for all the amazing info and looks into all of these incredible cities/countries
Great video, informative, I enjoyed it. I visited Amsterdam in 1999. I would love to go back. Again great video.
Great Job Rick! Your tips about Basque helped us greatly on our visit!

Congratulations! Your channel is amazing! Great video
Nice city/country to look and live, my record to Holland is more then 50 times at 1996 begins. Sailing on cargo ship specially to Amsterdam and Rotterdam harbour/port , but visited by tourist myself 4 weeks also. Amsterdam tall ships festival was impressive.
My husband and I want to visit here someday, definitely!
It'd be our dream trip. 👍
Great show Rick Steves!
Loving your videos, Rick!
I need to try that rice table. All that food looks delicious.
Very informative. Beautiful place. If only travelling was free, I’ll be in Netherlands in no time ❤️ 🇳🇱
Such a nice interpretation of the city and its culture.
Loved Rolinka, while touring Paris and South of France. She is a treasure! Contemplating my next tour to Amsterdam this time... Rick Steves tours rock!
I love Amsterdam ❤️
Hello how are you
Thank you for this video of Amsterdam. I can highly recommend to visit Utrecht or Amersfoort too. Or Noordwijk at the sea, with the beautiful beach-clubs (it just looks like Ibiza), the Efteling themepark, that is better than disneyland Paris. Or beautiful Middelburg of Maastricht. All preserved so very well. Oh and visit the really Dutch ‘living’ museum iN Arnhem. It will be as if you walked into the Netherlands 100 years ago. All these city’s are a lot quieter then Amsterdam. And much more ‘real Dutch’. And about the drugs I can say that children at school get a lot of preventive lessons about drugs. They have to learn what it does to you body (as sigarettes and alcohol) and people who were addicted come tell their story. You see a lot of drugs in Amsterdam (tourists) but not really much in other villages or city’s because of that. Most people under 45 years speak fluant English. They have English lessons at school from the age of 4. The older Dutch people can speak French or German better. They had more lessons in that. So if you speak English as your native language you just can speak English here, no problem. Welcome to all the tourists!!!
What a lovely city.....some of my best days have been spent here.
fantastic and fabulous presentation, thanks Mr. Rick.
This very idiosyncrasy of tolerance and an assimilative approach for all forms of behavioral peccadillos and indiscretions elevates the Dutch as the "truly civilized" people on this planet. Kudos!
very beautiful place
Really enjoyed watching this. Teared up a little when you came to Van Gogh.
great work, loved the video!
Love this, and learning more about my Favorite Artists, Van Gough to Rembrandt. So Wonderful. Thank you Rick
Love the full episodes Rick!
Thanks for this guide Rick.
great review !
Shoutout to that waiter who explained every dish I hope he gets everything good in the world

I am from India but my dream to travel in Amsterdam ❤️

you have just caught my attention .. i love the way you explain things with no exaggeration and biasness .. Really admire you !!
I'd been to Amsaterdam in 1994. The city was beautiful and impressed to me. I missed the food,milk and ice cream that I had eaten there. I love the canal, wind mill, so and so
.
God bless the citizen of Amsterdam.!
