Take a historical canal ride

Amsterdam by Honeymoons & Vacations by Vonda

The water tours of Amsterdam are some of the most desired.  Since there are hundreds of canals throughout the nation that were created just for travel, there is no reason not to give this popular attraction a try. During your gentle water ride you’ll get to view some of the country’s most detailed architecture and most beautiful landscapes. When I visited Amsterdam I took this canal ride and loved it.  

Take a walk through the wildflowers

Amsterdam by Honeymoons & Vacations by Vonda

Amsterdam takes great pride in their bulb flowers, especially tulips. Visit the amazingly vibrant bulb flower park in Lisse if you wish to see the tulips in all their glory. If you happen to miss tulip season, don’t worry. There are plenty of bulbed flowers that grow year round at the park. 

Visit one of the many spectacular art museums or history museums

Check out paintings by Rembrandt, Van Gogh or other world renowned artists, or go revisit history by
walking into the Anne Frank House where you can see the secret annex where Anne was hid during World War II.

Walk through De Wallen, the nation’s red light district

Although it’s famous for some risky behavior, there is much more to the city. Try out one the district’s fine restaurants, small boutiques, or find more responsible entertainment at any of the places not lit up with red lights. For a faster way to venture through, rent a bicycle. You’ll find that you rent a bike nearly anywhere in the country.

immerse yourself in dutch culture

Last but not least, you mustn’t leave the country without trying some its authentic Dutch cuisine or experiencing one of its cannabis coffeehouses. People travel all over the world to Amsterdam to encounter these coffeeshops in person. In Amsterdam, marijuana is simply a way to unwind and these coffeehouses are some of the most reputable and reliable sources to enjoy a delicious bite to eat and a puff of smoke as you dine. 

 

I hope you will add Amsterdam to your bucketlist.  There is so much to do and see that you will not regret it.  Also, don’t miss this opportunity to see the Best of Amsterdam.  You can’t miss the museums and gardens in this beautiful country.
