So fun to watch you explore Amsterdam. It looks like an amazing city. Great hostel!😍
Thanks Laurie! 🥰 yes lovely hostel too!
About 30 years ago, a few green parrots escaped from a house and flew to the Vondelpark. Since then, there have been hundreds of green parrots in the Vondelpark, but also other parks in Amsterdam.
The only envying Australian tourists...
Die vogels ontsnappen al heel wat langer dan sinds de jaren '70.
@@Treinbouwer Klopt! Parkietjes zijn vrolijke kwetteraars die al lang gehouden worden als huisdier. En in veel parken waren er volieres met parkieten, kanaries en meesjes. En als de verzorger kwam om te voeren en schoonmaken, dan zijn er altijd slimme die ontsnappen.
lol lol in every city there are parrots and not from your escaped ones ...
er zijn er 20 duizend in heel nederland, er is meer dan amsterdam in nederland hoor.
Again an amazing and outstanding video. Keep growing . It was an amazing experience to explore Amsterdam with you.
Thank you so much Karan! 😊 it means a lot ❤️
@@KeithandDev ❤
I'm happy to hear you came to the conclusion that there is nothing overrated about my home city! Greetings from Amsterdam!
Having visited over 30 countries in every continent I think your city and country is the very best on the planet. A model for others to follow. few cars. peaceful. its an amazing experience. congratulations. whatever your doing keep doing it.
It is such a beautiful city we loved our time there!
A tip to save some money when visiting Amsterdam: the public transport system is amazing, so it's really doable to find a hotel in a town or city outside of Amsterdam and then travel there. For example: Haarlem (15 minutes by train) or Utrecht (20 minutes by train). Bonus: those cities are worth visiting in their own right, and not as overrun by tourists as Amsterdam.
That is a really great tip, we learned while we were there how great the public transit really is. also we would love to visit those other cities as well :)
We've travelled to all continents, felt your amazement many times, but we live in Amsterdam. Seeing you being utterly enchanted brought a tear to my eye :)
Thank you for this comment, it really means a lot to us. You are very lucky to live in such a beautiful place
Amsterdam is one the most lively and interesting cities there is. There is just so much to do and see, architecture, history, art, culture, thousand of shops and café's and restaurants, parks, or just watching people op the streets...
Agreed! :)
Glad you enjoyed Amsterdam even if the weather wasn't that great. You were in my neighbourhood!
It a really lovely place! We really loved our time there :)
Sending this to my Oma so she can see some strangers enjoy her hometown ❤
Aww we hope she liked the video :) that is so sweet. Your Oma has a lovely hometown
Looks amazing!! also I would have loved a Keith smelling the flowers montage 🌷
True! why didnt we think of that! Next time! ;)
Amsterdam looks lovely😍
🇳🇱❤️
Nice video, good montage. And for you're next stroopwafel, don't dip it, but it on top so it gets warm and the stroop melts. :-)
Oooohhh that sounds like such a good idea!! Thank you for the tip! :)
Lovely vlog! From the sound of it you two definitely need to revisit Amsterdam. Actually there are so many other places in the Netherlands worth exploring. Just bring the sun next time 😁.
The birds in the Vondelpark you mentioned are ring-necked parakeets. And yeah, Amsterdam in not their natural habitat and it is becoming a bit of a problem.
Hope to welcome you here another time.
Thanks for the info! Amazing! Yes we have to go back for sure! ❤️🇳🇱
You did a great job covering a lot of ground. You really didnt miss too much. Honestly the Rijksmuseum is a bit better than Van Gogh. The best thing about Van Gogh museum is not the art but the story you learn about him and his brother and his death. You did it right, frites, traditional food, beer. If you go again recommend a canal ride, Febo, and free ferry to Noord behind Centraal Station. Prost! Cheers!
Thanks for the great recommendations! We would love to come back one day for sure and see more of the Netherlands! :) thanks for watching Jason!
OHH pullease!! Skip Amsterdam already! Interesting city, I was born there, bit too many downsides.
Plenty of towns which offer the same or better. Like Rotterdam, Delt, Utrecht, Zwolle, Groningen, 's-Hertogenbosch, to name just a few.
Thanks for the tip, we already know we have to come back to see more of the Netherlands. We truly loved Amsterdam so much so we cannot image how the rest of the country is
Well made video and you are a nice couple!
But if you do come again, don't go where everybody tells you to go. There are so many more nice things to see without a line in front. Just go where the regular Dutch go. Buy your Stroopwafel at the Albert Heijn grocery. But even better: try to visit Utrecht, Haarlem, Delft or Leiden. Those are smaller cities (a little) less tourists and cheaper. Or go (by train) to the more eastern (and also much older) cities in the eastern part of the Netherlands, like Den Bosch, Nijmegen, Arnhem, Zutphen, Deventer, Zwolle or Groningen. I'm sure you will appreciate those places even more. And of course: rent a bike to explore or even make a bicycle day trip from one city to another.
No helmet needed!
Thank you for the great tips! We hope to do just that on our next visit to the Netherlands :)
Hi guys, nice to see that you've fun in Amsterdam.
But don't spoil in ridiculous long line fries. This are not the best maybe but go to the Albert Cuyp market. And you can get all the food for normal prices.
Visiting Amsterdam is walking around and a must is a canal boat tour. The only to watch the canal houses at their best incl all infirmation.
Cheese you but at a supermarket.
Hope you're going to visit Amsterdam a next time but then better weather
Hi Rob, thanks for the tips! We hope to come back on day for sure, to see more and see more of the Netherlands! Thanks for watching :)
In the past the flower market was the best place to get fresh flowers, nowadays it is a big tourist attraction with only bulbs and souvenirs.
Wow interesting a good to know, that did seem to be the case when we were there.
The difference between Mayonaise and Fritessaus is that, according to the rules Mayonaise needs to contain minimaly 70% fat and Fritessaus generaly contain around 25-35% Fat.
It's a thing over here to protect certain stuff.
The only difference =
Fritessaus has a shetload of water innit.
Nobody knows what water or where the water comes from.
@@laptopbreadyeah, scientists have been trying to figure out where water comes from for millennia. The mystery remains.
@@laptopbread Not realy because if there is to much liquid it won't bind well and then you lose the consistency
@@Cthucal thats why they use emulsifiers!
@@Ronnet i am one of those geological scientists!
Ha, thanks, makes me appreciate my own home town more. Yes, I got that lucky. It's not just the beauty, also the culture, the bikes, the diversity and the safety. And Dutch healthcare. ;)
Agreed! For a big city we felt so safe. We cannot wait to be back in Amsterdam and the Netherlands one day to explore more :)
@@KeithandDev Take your time, the country is full of expats living here for a while, or staying forever.
There are so much more nice city's and places in Holland! Always welcome back!
We cannot wait to be back and explore more of the country :) thanks for watching!
@@KeithandDev zaanse schans, giethoorn ( and surrounding lakes), Utrecht, Amersfoort, Haarlem.. al amazing 😀.
@@KeithandDev Go to a B&B for sleaping en breakfast! The most city's in the Netherlands are fery nice! Rotterdam, de skyline off Europe, Delft with cannels. You can visit Zeeland with the Deltawerken and a lot off small villages by Vorden and Diepenheim, with his castles.
In the past people had to pay taxes which were decided by the size of the house, how bigger (wider) their house was how more they had to pay, so what they did is building it higher. Only rich people could afford a wide house. So when you see a very small house, you know the owner wasn't rich, if it was a wide house, the owner had more then enough money. ;)
Next time also go see Utrecht. less than 30 minutes by train from Amsterdam Central Station to Utrecht Central Station. These green parrots are all over the Randstad (Amsterdam is part of the bigger Randstad area: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag and Utrecht. The Randstad is the biggest megalopolis of Europe and it is the economical heart of The Netherlands, where the most Dutch citizens live). Also here in Utrecht. The winters aren't that harsh anymore so it is a good climate for them. The historical centre of Utrecht is older than the Amsterdam city center, and the Dom Tower in Utrecht is over 600 years old.
Sounds amazing! We would love to visit one day :)
19:38 The Paleis op de Dam on Damplein (Dam square) isn’t actually the main royal palace of our king. Its the Town Hall since a long time.
The government lies in Den Haag and also the house of the Royal Family in Paleis Noordeinde.
Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing that with us :)
At the time it was built (second half of the 17th century) as the new Amsterdam city hall, it was the largest and most opulent non-religeous building in Europe. It became a royal palace only in the 19th century (after Napoleon put his brother Lodewijk Napoleon in the newly created throne of the short-lived Kingdom of Holland in the 1790's). Before that, the Netherlands was a republic for over two and a half centuries (the Dutch Republic)
Stropewaffle and Gowda, stapple food here :)
They are sooo delicious!!!! 😍 thanks for watching :)
Strobe wafel. Like strobe-light
okay thanks for the tip :)
Stroopwafel is pronounced wrong. The double oo is pronounced as oa like in road. And wafel is not the English pronounced waffle with a short a, but with a long a. The a in wafel is pronounced as ae like in maelstrom. And the emphasis is on the oo of stroop.
Thanks for letting us know about the correct pronunciation :)
And stay away from the flower market , it very busy but als with for pick pocking,. And Amsterdam is doing it best to check the quality of the flower bulbs. They sell crap, so go to a local flower shop if want from 12 searching all 12 coming instead only 1 or totally nothing.
Have fun
Good to know! Thanks for the tips!
Stroopwafel for breakfast 😂 Hello Diabetes
Not our usual breakfast but it was pretty tasty 😍
@@KeithandDev wel erg lekker!
If your planning to move to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 take it from a. Native Dutchman DON'T COME HERE THERE ARE NO HOUSES FOR US THERE WON'T BE FOR YOU
We do plan to come back and travel more in the Netherlands it’s a beautiful country.
The bike infrastructure is by Dutch standards not great in Amsterdam.😂
Oh really!!? wow we defiantly need to come back to see more of the Netherlands! :)
If you want to see the real beautiful cities of the Netherlands, visit Utrecht, Den Bosch, Maastricht, Leiden, Leeuwarden or Breda.
Amsterdam is beautiful, but it is one big and far too expensive tourist trap. Even most Dutch people don't like Amsterdam anymore
That's what many French say about Paris, many Brits about London, many Germans about Berlin. It's the price these kind of popular tourist destinations all have to pay. That "most" Dutch people don't like Amsterdam is a meaningless remark, because no one can know that, and I doubt it's true. Many of the people you see in Amsterdam are visitors from the rest of the country; Amsterdam is also a popular destination for people from other parts of the Netherlands.
Thanks for the recommendation of other places to visit in the Netherlands. We defiantly want to come back and see more! As Gerry said some places are just more touristy and even though it was we still really enjoyed our time there. Thanks for watching!
Its a very good point Gerry. Thanks for watching!
Those are canals not rivers
Oh sorry we said the wrong thing!
From what country ur from? Must be a hard place to survive.
We are from Canada :)
Pronounced:"Stroap wahfel".Demmit!
❤️🧇
Vondelpark is still very much central, what are you on about
Sorry I didnt realize we said it was outside of Amsterdam, we did not mean to
You did most everything wrong, the fake cheese shops, tourist trap bulbs market, fries shops and alll!
Just get out of the centre and go to the realmarkets. Only the place you picked for Dutch winterfood at the end was ok.
Thanks foe your opinion. Hopefully we can come back one day and have a more local experience around the Netherlands. We did really love our time in Amsterdam and wanted to see as much as we could!
I don' t know why? Sex, ( Women are for sale) , white slavery, drugs, etc 😢If the tourists love canals, Brugge is beautiful! Saint Petersburg! Venice, Aveiro, etc😊
It really didn’t feel like that though, it was organized, clean, and people were respectful. Amsterdam’s is just so beautiful too, and yes Brugge! We will be posting a video of Brugge soon! 😊👍
No one in the Netherlands outside Amsterdam likes that city the reason is that the Dutch can earn the money and Amsterdam can spend it
interesting point of view
Geboren Amsterdammer hier, opgegroeid in een provincieplaats in de buurt, en altijd in Amsterdam op school gezeten, mede omdat ik niet kon aarden door die provinciaals kleine mentaliteit. Amsterdam is één van de mooiste en meest bruisende steden ter wereld. En weet je waar ik zo moe van wordt? Proviciaaltjes zoals jij die maar janken dat Amsterdammers dit en Amsterdammers dat en vervolgens hun eigen hoofdstad een beetje gaan zitten besmeuren tegenover buitenlanders om van je eigen calimero complex af te komen. Probeer verdomme een keer iets positiefs in je eigen stad of dorp te vinden (Ja, al die andere steden en dorpen in Nederland zijn óók prachtig!) en daarover te vertellen in plaats van anderen uit kleinheid en kinnisinne af te zeiken...
Why it's so popular? It isn't! Amsterdam, which we call 020 isn't popular in the Netherlands. Only the people that live there like it, the vast majority of the Dutch people don't like it at all. And foreigners seem to like it...
Ben je weer lekker aan het schijten op je eigen hoofdstad, lekkere drol? Ga toch lekker ergens anders zeiken met je calimero complex...
Kleuter......
@@gerrylanter8109 True though
I think it is popular because it is so beautiful and accessible to people. We truly loved our time there and hope to visit more of the Netherlands hopefully one day soon.
@@KeithandDev 👍
amsterdam is not populair in the Nertherlands
fair enough. its very much still on our bucketlist to come back and see more of the Netherlands! :)
"Gluten free".....says it all.....🤔
It’s not by choice it’s an allergy 😢
@@KeithandDev sorry, my bad...😟
Actually it isn't popular at all, we Dutch do not like the place at all, It stinks, people are often rude, only speak their own hard to understand dialect, it is dangerous, it is full of tourists...
You need to get out more. Any Us city, south or central america. If you live from the experience you will have a whole new appreciation.
Amsterdam is very popular. It is a BEAUTIFULL city with loads of architecture and culture, thousands of shops restaurants and cafés, parks, canals, etc. etc. Only a small group of people from the rural provinces and other cities are envious of Amsterdam's succes with tourists.
If you don't understand the local "dialect" of Amsterdam (which doesn't exist), *@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands*, you really should make an appointment with an ear, nose and throat specialist. I suppose you mean with "dialect" the prononcation of people like Johann Cruyff or André Hazes (very popular singer, who died some years ago) who both spoke with an Amsterdam "accent", and whose Dutch everyone in this country (with the possible exception of you) understood perfectly well.
I do like my hometown in Brabant, but I think Amsterdam is a great place. There is perhaps a bit overkill of tourism but the buildings, Amsterdam school, the punk history the graffiti era in the eighties, the local language. I Love it
Like you said, it's full of tourists and also house prices are sky high over there. So it's popular among tourists and citizens. By what metric is it not popular? It's the biggest city so it's also likely to have the most detractors. But by that logic Taylor swift isn't a popular artist because a bunch of republicans don't like her.
just a tourist city nothing more nothing less for a Dutch it's a place not to go ! Delft , Utrecht , Den-Haag , Giethoorn and even Zoetermeer are more fun !
You are forgetting Almere…😂
@@janjanssen9629 😂
Het is en blijft een prachtige stad. In sommige opzichten uniek. Als je dat niet ziet, jammer. Maar spreek voor jezelf. Het is jammer dat het wordt overlopen.
We do hope to see so much more of the Netherlands some day! We loved Amsterdam and know there is way more to the country. We just have to save up a bit so we can truly see it all 😊
I recommend detroit, harlem, east philly south chicago, portland or baltimore. After this experience you will have a whole new outlook on Amsterdam. cheers.
next time someone tells you you cant eat in the park you tell them: oprotten met je gezeik
Thanks for letting us know but I am not sure we will use that harsh language :)
Amsterdam is not hot. Give real information.
Sorry we are not sure what you mean
@@KeithandDev Probably the metaphorical hot vs temperature hot. Sarcasm is a huge part of Amsterdam's culture.
Sick of A’dam and videos about it
We are sorry you feel that way
Amsterdam is a tourist trap, especially the city centre.
And even as a foreigner you should be able to tell it is. Everyone speaks English. In hoe many Dutch towns do you think English is the primary language?
There is a place in Amsterdam where they sell stroopwafels for €15 per stroopwafel. How many Dutch people do you think would pay that?
A couple of years ago I went there with school to visit some museums and a simple hot chocolate milk was €5. That is double the normal price for cafés! Sports clubs will proboubly charge only €1 or so, maybe €1,50 because of inflation.
Stelletje afzetters daar!
Lekker boos doen 😂😂
Yep, en weer een boze en verongelijkte "Hollander" in de kleinste en domste betekenis van het woord, die schijt op zijn eigen hoofdstad en zijn eigen land bezoedelt. Nee. Amsterdam is GEEN "tourist trap". Natuurlijk zijn er winkels die zich richten op toeristen. Maar de stad is zoveel groter en rijker dan dat, met zoveel mooie architectuur, museums, theater parken, duizenden winkels etc. En dat ga jij lekker allemaal lopen afzeiken. Ga toch lekker terug naar je provinciale gatje, Calimero.
Haha, Treinbouwer is such a typical conservative grumpy-provincial loser who can’t stand Amsterdam
Hahah, als je alles aan de sportkantine afmeet is alles duur. Gelukkig hebben ze daar ook geen personeel of dure locatie. Amsterdam is heel duur geworden, klopt, maar dat heeft ook een redne.
Was in Amsterdam with some foreign visitors last week and it was still pretty affordable tbh. Like 3-4€ for a fresh stroopwafel at Albert Cuyp and 3€ for a pack that would be about 2.30 in the supermarket. Drinks on terraces also weren't outrageously expensive, neither in De Pijp or the city center. But my guests did like Leiden more then Amsterdam.
