I was born in Amsterdam in 1944 and emigrated to Canada in 1953 . I've been back about 5 times and it still gives 'heimweh' as no American town will ever have 'gezelligheid' untranslatable but sort of like 'ambience' Thanks for this excellent photography and considerable research.
Thanks 🤗 Appreciated. Thank you for sharing your story.

Imagine writing a diary, all of your most private thoughts in one place.
And then after you die,
Seventh graders around the world are assigned your diary as reading material.
And your bedroom becomes a museum.
Just kind of a weird thought.
Hey, great video bro.. what mic do you use
Thanks. Rode wireless.
Amstedam with Red lighted street is liken to Bawngkok in Thailand !!
Amsterdam of the nicest 🤗... I will visit you when I visit Europe 😁🖤
Thank you
Can’t get tickets for my stay . Any ideas?
Try to get them on Get Your Guide.
@@rokgoesaround thank you. Did try that but Anne H house no opening whatsoever
hye. is it i need to take guided tour or just go by myself ? which one better ? and can i go just public transport only ?
Good luck video
my wife and I are visiting Amsterdam April 2023 and wanted to know do you give tours? Also, recommendations on places to start AirBNB or Hotel doesn't matter we do like outdoor space though.
Thank you,
Mo and Sugar
Hey Mo. Unfortunately I don't. But I am working on Amsterdam Tips&Tricks video that will cover all the basics you need to know, so keep in touch 🤗
Great video. Is it good value to get the I amsterdam City Card in your opinion?
Thanks. There is no simple answer. It very much depends on your activites. If you plan to do a lot of stuff included in the card than yes.
depends on your plans. Amsterdam is really expensive, it is worth it if you go to museums too. but they also have Museum card which is good for 1 year and you pay only around 55-60 euro. 1 museum cost 20 euro and above
Terrific video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travel
Week done ✔
Great input,....thanks
Brown cafe with beer and dope and then fries and mayonnaise.
Thank you for all the info! I will be their in September from the 8th-11
Thanks. Have a great trip 🤗
Yonha wue ser ttafuzido para o portugues😍morei ai,mais nao entendo nada e amo esse psis.
How to travel from airport to this Amsterdam canal town! Which way is cheaper way to travel from airport to this beautiful canal place??
Thanks for asking great questions.I am working on a video that will give you all this answers.
@@rokgoesaround please 🙏🏻👍👏🏼I am travelling to Amsterdam on Monday, June 20 . So please help me ✌️👏🏼👍🙏🏻
Amsterdam is a city, not a town. Having said that, there’s a train straight from the airport to Amsterdam central. It has two more stops so depending on your hotel, check it out. Google maps is quite accurate for public transport so use that
🤠
😊
🤗
13th thing to do - not get run over by a tram or cyclist 😅
Good one 🤣 Agreed 👍
my truth too
cool😅
How much to ride in the boat 🚤 through the canal ?
There are many options to take a canal cruise. They last from 45 minutes to 1,5 hours and prices go from 10 eur to 35 eur.
@@rokgoesaround do they accept cash ? As I am having layover in Amsterdam airport for 7 hours . Just want to visit the city for first time from the airport!
How far is the canal cruise from the central station 🚉? How can I get coins to purchase metro 🚇🚈 tickets from airport??🙏🏻👏🏼👍✌️please share us d as one tips
@@tenzindonsel6726 just few minutes walk a way. within 5 mins walk from the station. you can buy tickets in the ticket machines. all metro stations has the ticket machines. for the tram you can also buy ticket inside (they only accept bank cards).
from the airport you can take the train going to Amsterdam Central Station.
be careful with the bikes and always walk on the pedestrian. red roads are for the bikes.
The thumbnail with Zaanse Schans as part of Amsterdam made me fear the worst, but it's actually pretty insightful. But no, the Netherlands isn't still a kingdom, it was the firs republic of the modern world. The royal palace on the Dam was build as the city hall and it was during the French occupation it was made into a royal palace by Louis Napoleon, the brother indeed, who was 'king of Holland'.
Well to be exact it is offically declared as parliamentary constitutional monarchy.
@@rokgoesaround It's not still a kingdom. It went from republic to kingdom, via Napoleon and the French revolution ironically.
Essa legenda tinha que ssir atrapalha de ver o psis.
van Gogh was not from Amsterdam but Leiden.
No no Nico. He was originally from Zundert Brabant. Are from Lelystad 🤣
Rembrandt was born in Leiden.
As a native, it's not that I don't appreciate your enthusiasm for the city. But just some important points:
You're not highlighting anything obscure; I mean, red light district, Rembrandt- and Leidseplein (square)? Those some of the main tourist traps in the city and not great for anything but long queues, overpriced drinks and food. The reason I take issue with this is that these places have actually taken the heart out of Amsterdam, I've come to call it Neuro-Disney (people drunk, on mushrooms, high and generally quiete stupid and obnoxious).
You'd do your followers a bigger favour highlighting the 9 Straatjes (9 streets), the booming clubbing, dining and nightlife scene in Amsterdam Oost. Also there are some gorgeous restaurants with a truly remarkable history, view or dining experience. Vuurtoren Island comes to mind, which takes you to an island with a lighthouse, where you can eat in an old fortress or, on top of that, a beautifully designed greenhouse.
Finally some small notes that are bound to rub locals the wrong way. Yes it is the 'Paleis op de Dam' or Palace on the Dam square. But did you know that Amsterdam up until this day has pretty frought relationship with the House of Orange. People here, generally speaking, aren't fans....maybe it is because they almost layed siege to the city once when Amsterdam wasn't keen to support the initial dynastic ambitions of the followers of William the Silent. Or maybe it is because in 1672, the House of Orange came to power pretty much by sicing an angry mob on the Republican leaders at the time. Those same leaders got lynched and even cannibalized by that angry mob. Marking the only incident of mass cannibalism in western Europe. I'd say that's not a pretty look.
The 'Palace on the Dam' was initially constructed as a house of governance for the city (which back then of course had its tendrils all over the world). No building at the time was allowed to be built higher than this building, as it was the firm belief the government stood above the church...literally. A certain former group of colonists in the Americas later ran with that idea as well quite succesfully :).
Finally, the sex centre you mentioned hasn't even gone past the design stage yet. Our current mayor (a posh woman from the middle of the country who has no feel for the city in my opinion) is trying to have it erected in either the North or South part of town, but both areas are not keen on the idea at all. So far the idea is marred in opposition, and for good reasons. Saying that as someone from West.
If ever you need tips or pointers for a next visit, I'd love to give them to you! Past that, 5 stars for presentation and quality of footage. Really, I don't want to be overly critical, but the export 'idea' of the city stands in stark contrast to the lived experience and neglects also a lot of the actual history.
Its one of the place were u in free world
In 2018 i Saw a plane with only red eyes alleen rode ogen en nu weet ik niet maar schijnt dat levende mensen zijn echt af
There are good people but no so much
City of Rembrandt and Van Gogh? Nope.
You are mistaken. I don’t know anyone by the named of Nope.
1. A'dam lookout : OK'ish, but really?
2. Dam Square : can't miss it since it's right in the centre. DUH
Damrak : hideous tourist trap : DON'T
3. Red light district : you travel hundreds of miles to watch prostitutes? Thailand has the same, and better weather. - DON'T
If you take the canal tour you'll see it anyway.
4. Keukenhof : only in bloom for a very short period and depends - again - on the weather. Takes an hour to get there, an another hour to get in, and then you fellow countrymen are blocking your view
5. Zaanse Schans : takes two hours to get there. Very touristy, Better do the boat trip.
6. Liedesplein : ?? you mean Leidseplein? Just a square, nothing special. Tourists and pickpockets.
7. Rembrandtplein : same
8. Heineken brewery : "Fuck that shit!". DON'T .
Better visit the four centuries old cafe's or the artisanal breweries. Amsterdam is the largest cacao port in the world, worth a visit.
9. Anne Frank house : totally touristy and abused, hour long queues, just exploited her name and remembrance. DON'T.
Better visit the four centuries old Portuguese synagogue of Amsterdam.
10. Van Gogh Museum : totally touristy, long queues. DON'T
Most of his paintings aren't there anyway, but in the Kroller-Muller Museum two hours drive from Amsterdam.
11. Rijksmuseum : totally touristy, long queue, and then you fellow countrymen are blocking your view. Do only outside tourist season.
12. Canal boat ride : DON'T do the touristy ones. Look for the more specialized ones, like the one that includes a cheese tasting.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I dont like IT really here people are brutal
