I've got a buddy whose favorite hobby is finding second-hand records in old shops around Amsterdam. It really does seem like an interesting to spend a day and dig into castoff culture a bit!
I was in Amsterdam for one day six months ago and I loved it! But it was raining the whole day so I didn't get to explore as much as I wanted to. But I'll be back, definitely!
+evancortez2 Haha, you experienced the famous and authentic Dutch weather ;) Good you'll come back :D There is a lot to discover in Amsterdam. Especially when the weathergods honor you with some sunshine ;)
Nice and clean riverside and shopping....Btw Gretl, what place(s) in Netherlands has full of windmills and tulips? I'm looking forward to see these in your future vids because a Filipino follower Iike me likes to learn more about your beautiful Country...
+CARLOS A SOSA thanx! I am sure all of them will be open :) The museum though is never open all week round. Where to stay is a tough question in Amsterdam 😶
Do you get to IJhallen using the ferries behind Centraal Station or do you use another route? My wife loves those kind of markets we call them Flea Markets in USA. You are the best love your content!
Hey hi Gretl,...awesome video of....een dagje shoppen in Amsterdam!👍🏼😉😎en altijd gezellig!👍🏼🙂 kheb gewoon weer zin om een dagje te shoppen als ik het zo allemaal zie,...hopelijk is de Coronacrisis gauw weer voorbij, en ga ik ook weer gauw een dagje Amsterdam doen, ben er namelijk al een tijdje niet meer geweest helaas. Oh bytheway,...het is me trouwens gelukt,..dankzij een van jullie videos waarin jullie het thema "hoe kan ik mijn profielfoto of banner wijzigen via mijn mobiel"🙂De-door-mij bewerkte foto's waren via mijn mobiel indd te klein, maar na effe een tijdje expierimenteren...passen en meten, knippen en plakke op m'n labtop kreeg ik het uiteindelijk dus voor elkaar!👍🏼😃 dus dankjewel voor de uitleg in een van je vele video's!👍🏼😉🙂 groetjes uit Venray!!!
such an amazing video Amsterdam is gorgeous!! love to thrift and vintage hunt need to go to the ij Hallen market 😍 more videos of ij Hallen market would be great please!! many thanks Xx
Apple Pie :D You waited till Eindhoven, oh no!! There is one in Amsterdam all the tourists go to, and locals alike. Theirs is soo amazing :D Though I tend to think I make a good apple pie myself too ;) You did taste stroopwafels though? :)
Travel Gretl I know and i never wait when it comes to food. I have the Krokets, Stroopwafels, Bitterballen, Patat, Kaas. I did have a dutch latte style coffee but i forgot the name. Im over again in eindhoven in May :) Youll have to send me a peice of your apple pie :)

Hi! Nice video! I'm going to Amsterdam in April this year. I wanna go to that museum for glasses. Looks interesting. I hope they've got trike because I can't ride a bike. :D
+TravelogwithJem Thanx! Ah, cool you're coming over! Definitely check out the glasses museum, and if you need some, buy a frame :) It's around 100 euro's - and you can get your glasses elsewhere for around 60 euro's. Got some Dior, Rodenstock or Playboy for little money :) Hahaha, you'll be fine with public transport then I think ;)
Thanks for smiley :) Because in this town I am living right now..Most Canadians that was originally from there were so nice.And my buddy just went there last month he has shared me his experience and he was absolutely very happy with his visit especiall the french fries in there he said was amazing fresh with the best mayonaise jn the world haha
Hello, kun je de brillen in het brillenmuseum ook zonder sterkte kopen? Of weet u ook nog andere winkels waar je zo'n vintage bril zonder sterkte kan kopen?
Hoi Jennita, ja! De brillen vh brillenmuseum koop je altijd zonder sterkte. Je laat er bij de opticien glazen op sterkte in maken - maar alleen als je t nodig hebt. Anders koop je de bril, en ben je klaar :) Op de noordermarkt zit ook n winkeltje met brillen - als k me goed herinner. Goedkoper, maar ook veel minder keus!
I wonder what they did with all those frames. Any Spring 2018 recommendations? Will be in A'dam for Easter and beyond. (Love your videos, btw...the breakfast one with your mom is lovely. Go Grandma Gretl!)
+John Doe It's beyond problem even - when you don't get your bike stolen for a long time you're actually surprised. When you do not double lock it - you're also very surprised when you come back and it's still there ;)
+Travel Gretl I didn't notice bike theft, the last time that I was in Amsterdam. I thought it was funny the way bicyclists would ring a bell. I didn't realize that the bicyclists actually expected you to get out of your way. Here in the US, only kids ring bells on their bikes.
Hahaha, yeah, even moving here from the south I was surprised by bike life in Amsterdam. All goes so fast, people are really impatient. I learned not to think when biking, just make quick decisions, people otherwise get really cranky ;)
NOTE! Unfortuately the museum of glasses no longer exists...
Jeetje wat leuk. ZO gaat mijn nachtrust eraan om al die leuke filmpjes te bekijken.
Haha, dank! En sorry, dat is niet mn bedoeling geweest ;)

+Stephen Lioy Sure is! Cool, know more people liking that already :) Especially Kingsday is a great moment for that too!

Netherlands is so clean and beautiful!!
:D

i love your video!!!! all the way from Vietnam
wonderful . I ll be visiting in September, Can you recommend a neighborhood that has vintage stores and good eats?
+red k cool! 9 streets I'd say - but cheaper and unexplored is actually Utrecht ;) also very beautiful 😀😀😀
Hi.. just found this video. Are most of the vintage shops/markets cash only?
Nice one Gretl, perfect for me since I'm traveling there this June and need to drop these places. Hope to see you!
Cool :D
I really need to get back to Amsterdam.... When I was passing through I only had about 5 hours to explore.
+Wanderlust & Dogs Oh, that's a really short time! Amsterdam in a rush ;) From where to where were you traveling?!
It was a bus trip from Germany to the Tulip Festival and then a quick stop in Amsterdam. It was all very quick, but better than nothing : )
Ah! Where was the tulip festival exactly? Cool you get a quick stop then :) As you say: better some than nothing!
haha, well, not really all that close. The keukenhof Gardens, in Holland... But it was pre planned and I wasn't complaining!
:) discovered the Keukenhof only last year, while almost living next to it ;)
Hello from mexico! Great videos ! Do you think they will be open infebruary ? Also, where go stay there ? 😊
+CARLOS A SOSA thanx! I am sure all of them will be open :) The museum though is never open all week round. Where to stay is a tough question in Amsterdam 😶
Thank you
This is what every Filipinos dream just like me to visit Europe one day! Just amazing!
:) Yeah, Amsterdam is a very special place. Though I really hope tourism won't damage it all too much.... Should make some new vids here this summer!
Thnx!
Do you get to IJhallen using the ferries behind Centraal Station or do you use another route? My wife loves those kind of markets we call them Flea Markets in USA. You are the best love your content!
I use the ferry, yes :) You can also go by bus but the ferry is for free and just behind central station. Besides: riding the ferry is very nice :D :D
Thank you, you are the best!!!!
Great video of things to do, and sharing a sunny day in Amsterdam. Thumbs up my friend =)
Thank you 😃

Hi are there any second hand furniture stores? Stores that sell home decor / couches or so?
Good question! I know 'normal' secondhand shops like 'Kringloopwinkels' normally have a lot of furniture :)
A great little video showing another side to amsterdam :) thank you

Me too! Haha - thanx 😁 keep an eye on the IJhallen - they are just the best! Maybe every other weekend by the time you're here 😊
N show has mor second hand items
where is it ijhallen?
+David Avivani ndsm werf 😊
you can find it here : Address: T.T. Neveritaweg 15, 1033 WB Amsterdam . Its an amazing market for vintage lovers.
Everyone is locking up their bikes. It looks like bike thievery is a serious problem.
+John Doe It's beyond problem even - when you don't get your bike stolen for a long time you're actually surprised. When you do not double lock it - you're also very surprised when you come back and it's still there ;)
