Amsterdam with Kids - The Best of the City

Hello Everyone!
We are Paradise Falls Family - we're a family of four who love to explore the world together. We are hoping by sharing some of our top tips for each destination we will inspire you (and save you some research!)
We had a wonderful trip to The Netherlands and Belgium in February 2024. We had 3 nights in Amsterdam, 4 nights at Center Parcs and 1 night at Efteling. We have done a series of videos we hope will help with your planning!
This video shows our time in Amsterdam and all we managed to cram into a 3 night stay. We show our travel day and a room tour of our two hotels (Holiday Inn Express Folkestone and the Mercure Amsterdam City Hotel. We travelled using the Eurotunnel across 4 countries in 1 day (England, France, Belgium and The Netherlands) and stopped at Dunkirk for lunch on our way.
We show all of the things we did and saw in Amsterdam including Rembrandt Square, Damrak, Pancakes Amsterdam, Tonys Chocolonely Super Store, Begijnhof, Vlaams Friteshuis Vleminckx, Vincent Van Gogh Museum to see the Sunflowers Painting, Flower Market, a Canal Tour with the Blue Boat Company, 9 Streets, Jordaan, the Anne Frank House an so much more. We got about using their excellent public transport tram/train system.

Your trip popped up in my feed - very good. We drive to Amsterdam and stay at the Hampton by Hilton at Bijlmer next to the AFAS stadium and train into Amsterdam. It has secure covered parking and EV charging, a great restaurant underneath and others around. The rail station is 4 minutes walk from the hotel and 15 minutes by train to Amsterdam Central. Last visit, Rembrandtsplein had a statue display of the "Nightwatch by Rembrandt. We were there to meet with Caro Emerald and her producers plus attend their last big concert in the AFAS theatre just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Driving there is £100 cheaper and over an hour quicker than flying - and nicer with a lunchstop. The Jordaan is where Caro Emerald grew up when it was a very poor rundown area .. it is also the name of her current singing persona . "The Jordan"

@@paradisefallsfamily We live in Kent, in a small village just 20minutes from the Chunnel ... so Amsterdam and Europe is an easy visit. The trams are excellent for getting around and Amsterdam is great off season without hordes of tourists or drunk English football fans.

@@mdshovel so close to the tunnel - it must be great being able to explore Europe so easily!
