Amsterdam is known for all of its coffee
shops and the red-light district but we
wanted to skip all that and explore the
city in a different way Amsterdam has
many wonderful museums and so many great
sights to see so much so that we
actually ran out of time and didn't get
to explore everything we wanted one of
the things we love most about answer
damn was how easy it was to use their
transit system most of the time we wrote
a tram because it would almost always
take us within steps from our final
destination plus there are service desks
all over the place to help the tourists
navigate even on the tram if you're an
answer Dan for the weekend here are a
top set of things we think you should
definitely check out number one and
Frank house if you know Anne Frank's
story you have to visit this museum it's
surreal to see the actual bookcase that
led to the secret hideaway or the
decorations on the wall that am pasted
herself you're given an audio guide for
a self-guided tour and you'll learn and
story along with her family and friends
as you step into each room there were a
lot of things we learned on this tour
that we weren't aware of before
if you walk past the main entrance to
the museum you'll come up on the actual
exterior entrance to the secret annex
the museum itself is very popular so
make sure you plan ahead you'll need to
book your tickets online weeks in
advance tickets that release two months
in advance so that early you get the
tickets the better number to moko Museum
moko museum is a fun boutique museum
with artwork from recent artists like
Banksy and cause there are some tight
quarters in this museum so it's best to
visit off-peak times as possible we
visited a couple of hours before closing
and it was plenty of time to explore all
the floors the entire space is a great
place to snag some fun photos and it's
even encouraged to do so the exhibits
change from time to time so you might
experience something different from what
we did in these funky rooms

number three Adam look out if you want a
360-degree view of Amsterdam head to a
damn lookout and North it's a quick
ferry ride over and the ride is free you
can even boar with your bike or mini car
you can enjoy drinks and snacks while
taking in the views or go up to the
rooftop and take a ride on Europe's
highest sleep
[Music]
on the other side lovely view
[Music]
okay so they have the floor one another
24 we're not a club shelter and then
floor zero has the butcher social club
for one through seven is a hotel sir
Adam 12 or 16 as a wah the members club
restaurant oh yeah this is where we are
right here
[Music]
- already for the Skydeck this guy that
you can write on a red horse cause it's
little windy out door patio number four
Rijksmuseum this is a gigantic Dutch
national museum dedicated to the Arts
and history of Amsterdam there is a wide
variety of paintings sculptures models
and furniture to view at this
fascinating Museum what we really liked
about Rijksmuseum was the information
cards they provided next to some of the
paintings they would point out all the
details and what was significant about
the painting which made the experience
more interesting and as nice as I give
you the details of the painting what's
interesting about are you
[Music]
is that what a fly wow that is a very
very detailed make sure to check out the
historic library in the beautiful
gardens - if you're cutting the
Rijksmuseum make sure you stop by this
little garden they have here it's pretty
- yeah it's a cute little garden it's a
nice place to relax if you wanted like
you want to share something about
waiting for like their flight or
something like that was just chilled by
the garden yeah because inside like not
inside but in the hallway there's like a
really good orchestra playing so you can
hear that when they're playing it's
really nice it is nice
we have beautiful flowers blooming here
and they have a little greenhouse you
can look into like a little water and
number five a photography tour with
David David is a professional
photographer and will give you great
tips on how to use your camera for that
perfect photo in Amsterdam he will also
take you to the hidden gems of the city
and snap some awesome photos of you
along the way the tour runs for about
two and a half hours and we really felt
that we got so much more than what we
paid for this was probably one of the
best photography tours we've done on all
of our travels and we highly recommend
it number six
Albert Kip market this is the place to
get a taste of all the iconic Amsterdam
foods like stoop waffles fries and
chicken at a great price it's also a
great place to go shopping for souvenirs
clothes flowers food and so much more
sometimes they feel like markets are a
little overpriced but this market was
the complete opposite everything was so
cheap
oh sure so it's no different texture
there's definitely different no I know
Volvo better
huge it seriously never ended just keeps
on going and coming and going my hands
is just like find that area split though
it's very very weird e8 so we're number
seven van Gogh Museum the van Gogh
Museum houses one of the world's largest
collections of his paintings
and it takes you through a journey of
his life we explored an impressive
amount of Van Gogh's work and didn't
realize he did so many versions of
self-portraits if you have more time in
Amsterdam definitely do one of their
canal tours or try renting a bike and
get around a city like a local we were
planning on renting a bike while we were
there but got a little intimidated so
maybe next time
