Amsterdam Sightseeing

Amsterdam is known for its 165 romantic canals with 1281 bridges, more than 600.000 bikes all over the city, the nightlife and the flower market.

But Amsterdam offers more: many places worth seeing, excellent shopping possibilities and many exhibitions in more than 50 museums. Amsterdam offers a large selection of many concerts and theatre performances.

Amsterdam has it all...

Central Station , the Dam and Red Light District

Walking down from Central Station over the famous ”Rokin” you will arrive at the Dam square. Here you will find the Royal Palace and the well known Madame Tussaud museum

The ones who would like to visit the Red Light District have to walk eastward from here. Take a right after the “Bonbonnerie” and you will find “Wijnand Focking” which is a distillery of “jenever"(gin).
They have been making gin from blackberries, plums and juniper berries for many years. Entering this part of town, you will be surrounded by “coffee shops” and women behind windows offering their services.

If you keep on walking eastward you will end up at the “Nieuwmarkt” and the “Zeedijk” where you will find a great deal of Asian restaurants, shops and a beautiful Buddhist temple.

Docklands islands

Continuing walking eastward, you will arrive at the Docklands with the “Scheepvaartmuseum” (Maritime museum). The jetty outside the Museum provides a permanent berth for a replica of the Dutch East Indiaman named “Amsterdam”.

If you are more interested in the future, you will have to visit the Nemo museum. The Nemo museum is designed for children aged 4-16 (as well as for their parents) fascinated by science and technology. The Nemo (National Centre for Science and Technology) boat-like green building was designed by Renzo Piano, not other than the one who designed the Centre Pompidou in Paris (hosting the Museum of Modern Art and a vast library). The exterior is covered with copper and in time it took the green colour. The roof of the building is sloped and uses as a roof terrace. There are stairways on the sides that lead people to the terrace, which provides a view of both Amsterdam and the water of the IJ.

Further down along the “IJ” you will arrive at the Passenger Terminal. It is spectacular to see the Millennium (one of the largest cruise ships in the world) moor at Passenger Terminal Amsterdam.
In this area you will also find man-made islands and peninsulas, named “Java eiland”, “KNSM eiland”, “Sporenburg”, “Borneo eiland” and “Ijburg”

Architecture is definitely the main draw. In the past decade the Docklands has blossomed into what's now a colourful, densely built mishmash of gentrified warehouses, modern canal houses, and quirky, eye-catching bridges. The IJburg island has its own beach where you will find several restaurants and a beach bar with a lot of activities during the summer.

Plantage buurt and the zoo Artis

Stroll southward and enter the “Plantage buurt” with the oldest zoo of the Netherlands, Artis. Not only does Artis offer many different animal species and a simulated South-American jungle at night, but also a beautiful scenic route along sculptures and historical monuments.
Visit the aquarium with a coral reef or the mangrove jungle. It even offers a geological museum where you can spend hours.

The Jordaan and De Pijp

Anyone coming to Amsterdam has to visit “de Jordaan”, the old working-class neighbourhood. De Jordaan has beautiful little streets, canals and many galleries for those who love art. On Monday morning the Noordermarkt transforms into a big flea market with loads of second hand clothes, books and antique items.

Walking out of the centre southeast wards you will enter the hip and upcoming neighbourhood “de Pijp”. You can visit the Heineken Brewery, which nowadays serves as a company museum and a meeting and information centre. It shows you the history of Heineken breweries, the horses' stables, a pub, the old copper brewery house, a film theatre and exhibitions.

Furthermore there are a lot of little bars, restaurants and Asian shops and of course the Albert Cuyp market with more than 300 stands.

The Vondelpark and the museum quarter

Not far from “de Pijp” is the popular “Vondelpark”, which is loved by Amsterdammers as well as by tourists. In summer there are free concerts in the open-air theatre. Visit “’t blauwe Theehuis” which resembles an U.F.O. Nowadays it is a restaurant/bar with two big terraces where you can enjoy having your lunch, while looking out over the park.
You will also find the Film Museum in this park. Classic movies are shown daily.

Taking one of the exits halfway of the Vondelpark, you will enter the “Van Baerlestraat” which is the main street in the Museum quarter. There are several museums close to each other. The “Rijksmuseum” exhibits the most beautiful paintings from the Golden Century from artists as Jan Steen, Frans Hals, Vermeer and of course Rembrandt. More than 400 masterpieces will give you an impression of the political, economical and artistic wonders from this period.
The “Van Gogh” Museum shows world’s largest collection of paintings, drawings and letters of this renowned artist.

Shopping route

The most expensive shopping street in Amsterdam, the “PC Hooftstraat” is also to be found in this area. Walking down this street you will find clothing from the most famous designers as Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Tommy Hilfiger etcetera. At the end of this street you will arrive at the “Leidse Plein” with one of Amsterdam’s biggest cinemas and the “Stadsschouwburg” with theatre of the “Theatre group Amsterdam”.

During summer you can relax and have a drink on one of the many terraces. Entering the “Leidsestraat” you will encounter all lot of shops selling the more commercial goods. When you take a left halfway the Leidsestraat, you will enter the area with the famous “9 Straatjes” (9 little streets). This is a true paradise for those who love to shop. You will find shops, galleries, barbers and bars and restaurants all with a character of their own.

In short, there is a lot to see and to do in Amsterdam.

Tip: grab a copy of the free magazine “NL20” in one of the bars/cafes.
