I worked there quite a bit in the mid 1970's. Museums: Rijksmuseum for all the Dutch Masters including Night Watch by Rembrandt. Also, Rembrandt House museum. Food: Indonesian food was top notch. Beer: hard to beat. Architecture: the whole old city is a living museum! I loved my time there and loved the culture.

A few things to highlight: (1) museums - with the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum you cannot miss out on Dutch masters or Impressionists (Anne Frank House here too) (2) Indonesian Food: as one of the early places for Indonesian spices, they have some of the best Indonesian food. I really enjoyed Bojo; (3) ignoring coffee houses and places that sell legal soft drugs ignores what many go to Amsterdam for; (4) Red Light District - while prostitution is legal and regulated within much of Europe, this area of Amsterdam is unique with the red lights just to walk around; and (5) windmills - outside Amsterdam at zaanse schans area. Well worth a trip out by train and walk.

Thanks for the introduction to Amsterdam. Bicycles, canals, boats, and tulips I knew about. Pancakes, waffles and those magical fries, I had no clue! Nice to see you continue your travel again.

Just a quick correction on this video. Traditional Dutch food is very basic, true. The Dutch food scene, however, is FANTASTIC! Why? Because you will find ALL cuisines from all over the world in restaurants in Amsterdam/the Netherlands. This is a remnant of the century old Dutch trade heritage...The Netherlands has got one of the best availabilities in the world of affordable foreign fruits and vegetables as Europe's largest port, Rotterdam, is situated in the NL. You will find EVERYTHING you need in our country and more! Greetz from Amsterdam xxx

About the pancake-place opening at 10PM: in the Netherlands, we usually don't consider pancakes or poffertjes to be breakfast – to us it is lunch or dinner. Similarly, pastry might be used as a dessert in the US, but we mainly eat it in between meals.

LOVE the new (hoping this is a series) travel stories. Great editing, video quality, and of course .... story telling. Been to Amsterdam a couple of times myself but saw a whole new side of it here. Love the boathouses along the outer canals. What a great place to park oneself for a few weeks. Looking forward to the next one Kristin :)

[arockwell]

Great introduction to Amsterdam. Appreciate the homage to Bourdain.

[TravelingwithKristin]

What would you most like to do or see in Amsterdam? The museums are also great!

[noahintara]

Kristin. Love your stuff. Love your approach. The life you’re leading. You are Inspiring us to rent our house and live in other places. Looks like our first stop is going to be in La Paz Bolivia. Keep you posted.

Great video! My favorite is definitely walking along the canals. I also enjoyed the diamond museum and the handbag museum.

[aWanderlustForLife]

For pancakes, I always recommend the Pannenkoekenhuis Upstairs! After over 8 years of living here, it's still the one I hope people visit.

[seanemmettfullerton]

Wonderful... thank you, Kristin :)
How delightful !!! My wife & her sister
will be visiting Amsterdam this coming spring.
and the coffee is legendary. YUM

I need to get back to Amsterdam someday! I only went for 24 hours on my way to Austria a few years ago, so I only had a chance to walk around the city and check out the Anne Frank house (highly recommend!). I would love to go back to enjoy the fries and the stroopwafel as well as take a canal cruise!

[visitcity.travel]

Your love for Amsterdam is contagious, even for someone like me who has visited the city many times. Thank you for reminding me of why I keep coming back to this magical place.

I really liked living in Amsterdam.
Finding a place to rent was quite difficult. I would plan ahead on that next time.

The Ottoman Sultan gave it as a gift, tulips originated from Turkey. They were very precious and thats what royals gave each other as gifts as tulips. Dutch culture did an excellent job of making tulips known and admired worldwide.

Awesome video .With only one and half day, I did the canal, floating flower market, gastro experience: the stroopwaffle, awesome coffee, frites, and the vegan junk food bar (all plant based) colorful and incredibly delicious. Of course I saw many of the museums and beautiful buildings from outside. Great city, must go back.

[stephenwilliams]

Hi Kristin, Makes me want to go to Amsterdam again after 50 years!!!! I'm learning to just go to a city for a full week rather than flitting around several other stops. I've made copious notes of your recommendations. Thinking about mid May. Thanks.
