Things to do in Amsterdam:(Sorry Players – but this page is for the standard tourist) Amsterdam Museums With over 50 museums packed into Amsterdam there really is something. Whether you have an interest in history, art, religion, photography you will find what you’re after in Amsterdam. The majority of these museums can be found on Museum Square (het Museumplein) which is on the south side of Rijksmuseum. Some of the museums you will find are: Van Gogh Museum Biblical Museum Cobra museum of Modern Art Diamant Museum Amsterdam Attractions & Sights The Bicycle Flat – used by thousands of people on a daily basis to park their bicycles – this incredible structure can be found at central Station. Dam square – Is one of the oldest areas in Amsterdam. There are historic buildings, museums, shops and restaurants. The Canal Ring ( Grachtengordel) – Known as the heart of Amsterdam. A truly beautiful area that is both friendly and vibrant. A must for anyone who visits this city. The Amsterdam dungeon – Let your goulish side out for a change and learn about the Spanish Inquisition, the plague and many other less wholesome aspects of Amsterdam’s past. The Butterfly Pavilion – Over 1000 butterflies are within the 1,000 m2 structure. There are over 30 species of butterfly surrounded by flowers and shrubs that make a wonderful experience. Parks & Public gardens There are over 30 parks and gardens in the City, so you are never too far away from nature. The largest and most famous of these is Vondelpark, which can be found in the city centre. There are other well maintained community parks such as: Amstelpark, Beatrixpark, Frankendael & Westerpark. Windmills As you are probably aware, Amsterdam is famous for its windmills and with 8 of them to be found in the city centre you really have no excuse not to see at least one. Amsterdam Nightlife Amsterdam is famous (infamous) for it’s nightlife, but there is much more to this city than the Red light district. A great atmosphere runs through the city when the sun drops and the theatres, pubs, clubs and restaurants start to fill. Most of the action can be found on Dam square, Leidseplein & Rembrandtplein. For more information please read our Amsterdam Nightlife Guide Amsterdam Red Light district Famous worldwide for it’s sex shops and brothels, the red light district is usually crowded with tourists (mainly men) taking in the splendid (and not so splendid) sites this part of the city has to offer. Even if this isn’t your cup of tea, it is still worth visiting as the area is very safe and you will certainly go home with a few stories. |
