  • Amsterdam is one of those cities that you see in photos and always say you want to visit! Well, we had the opportunity and we took it! Our sailing on Norwegian Prima started in Iceland and ended in Amsterdam. It was really cool to watch as the ship went through the locks to enter the Amstel River and sail into the city.
    We have a day in the city before we leave so we will see what we can do... First up is we have to really see the canals that run through the city. We walk along them until we find where we can hop on one of the canal tours. This was perfect for us as we needed a day just to relax... But for dinner, we wanted to go to a recommended spot... Foodhallen! As in one location, we can try many different foods from around the world. We just love these food markets!

    I live half an hour from London Central but have been to The Dam more times than Central, it’s got amazing museums, Dam Square, Red Light district, the floating Cat house(if you love cats go there!) and of course the Bull Dog coffee shops

    This brings back memories!! I lived and worked in the Netherlands for a few months when I was young. I biked everywhere including to work everyday. Amsterdam is such an amazing city. I loved the canal tour too and Anne Frank house is very interesting (yet very sad) to visit. Your vlog makes me want to go back!

    Been watching your videos for a while now. Just got off the mardi gras cozumel in September. So surreal to suddenly watch you guys arrive in Amsterdam. Welcome, and hope you had a wonderful time in our country. Even for us Dutch people, Amsterdam is a different place. Most people don't even speak Dutch, but English. It's more international than more land inwards (I live east close to the German border). Feel I should have known about the hooks on the buildings, but I didn't 😅

And you can taste the difference immediately. Its surprisingly high alcohol content (8.5%), glad you enjoyed it ...cheers and keep up the great work!

    As a person who lives in Amsterdam (in a canal house in the Jordaan-- which, btw, are NOT all businesses -- and no, I am not the mayor), it is unfortunate to see so much inaccurate information. It is crazy, and typical American tourist behavior to be in Dam Square, and note the god-awful wax museum, but not even have the awareness that the "old building" you pointed out was the palace where the King and his family live. The only marijuana you smell in the city is in the red light district, which is solely there for tourists -- the smell is FAR less than anywhere in Los Angeles, btw. It's a shame you didn't visit or highlight some of the world-class museums in the city as well.

    The culture in Amsterdam is so vivid and the people are great, lots to see if you venture out of the centre and go further out, even out to the tulip fields when in season. Its definitely a city that is so much more than the red light district and the bud. Easily one of my favourite cities in Europe. 👌

    Its just so pretty over the canals. xx
