We are in Amsterdam for a quick day trip. There is so much to see and do here you could spend way more time here than a day
but we're going to share with you today what you can see and do in Amsterdam in one day.
So to start our trip we are going to do a canal tour because the best way to see Amsterdam is from the canals.
Amsterdam is really famous for these canals. We found a boat tour. It's just outside of the Amsterdam central station.
It's 13 euros a person and is about an hour.
We finished the canal tour. It was super great and we feel like we learned a lot about Amsterdam. It was a great intro to the city
and now we are going to check out a unique church that is in the attic of three different houses.
When I first heard about it I thought it actually sounded not super interesting, but we've read that it's really cool,
so we're going to check it out. It's 12 euros per person and it's a church that is hidden in the houses because at the time
they were not allowed to practice I believe catholicism publicly.
We finished in the Our Lord in the Attic museum church and I did say something wrong at the beginning.
It's 14 euros not 12 euros a person, but there is a student discount. It's only 10 if you're a student and have an ID
It is a catholic church where they actually still have mass. It was really interesting.
I wish we could have gone to some of the more well known museums like the Anne Frank or Van Gogh museum
but because we planned this trip rather last minute we were unable to get tickets to the Van Gogh museum; my top choice.
So this was our museum for the day it was interesting and it was great, so I'd highly recommend it if you have time.
If you're coming for one day and you can do one of those other more famous museums I mean definitely do that too.
So you know just pick what you think would interest you the most. Next we are walking to a flower market
that is on boats. I think it is called Bloemenmarkt.
I'm really bad with Dutch. So off we go.
So after a quick stop at the flower market. It's kind of small, but it's really cute.
They have lots of bulbs if you have a green thumb. I do not so we did not buy any bulbs to plant tulips or other flowers.
We did have a good time looking around at everything that they had. They have cute wooden tulips,
so I bought one for our shadow box that I make for every country that we go to. We came here to Foodhallen for dinner.
We really wanted to try the Albert Cuyp market, but it's closed on Sundays, so we came here to Foodhallen.
It is a food hall with lots of different options from different countries.
We were able to try Dutch food, Spanish food, Chinese food, Korean food, we had so much different food.
It was super great, so highly recommend it. It unfortunately started raining while we were inside though,
We are going to go try and see a few more sites outside before we call it a day,
but the weather has gotten not as nice, so we'll see how it goes.
We did some more walking and the rain it didn't rain too hard on us. We were very that it didn't rain all day today
that was what the forecast was. So we're lucky the rain started later in the evening after we ate
and we went to see the Anne Frank House from the outside and we also saw the Royal Palace
and did a little shopping in some stores that we don't have in the US and we've had a great day today.
There's so many things that I wish that we had time to see here in Amsterdam, so I'm really looking forward to come back
and being able to visit the Van Gogh museum and the Anne Frank attic from the inside and lots of other things
that were closed or just we didn't have time to do, so share in the comments what things we missed we have to do next time.
And we hope that you enjoyed the video and that you'll like and subscribe for more. Thanks!
