Amsterdam - The Don'ts of Visiting Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Thanks bruh. I’ve decided I’m not going!

Thank uuu once again

Drugs 😂😂

Him callin bud drugs has me laughin hahaha

It’s my first time going pretty soon. Am I okay to take a picture of myself say in a coffee shop?

Can you buy Ecstasy in the coffee shops?

Dont do drugs mmmkaay.

As a dutchman I'd recommend Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder as a museum trip. I'd recommend it over Anna Frank House honestly, but we have a lot of exposure to that part of history here so it may vary for others

I add DON'T go to Amsterdam. Its a moral sewer.
Wolter, you as a teacher should be teaching people honor and integrity.

Great video. I’m going next year pre-cruise in June. How do I find an apartment to book? Where did you stay? Do you have a link??

Great suggestions. Been to Amsterdam numerous times. I like the spring and autumn (October); less tourists. The Riks and Van Gogh museums are not to be missed. If you go to the Van Gogh museum, go early when it first opens. Take the trams. Love the FEBO automat. And watch out for the bikes … silent killers … “ring” “ring”! Just be cool.

A friend of mine got shoes thrown at him by a hore when he took a pic

7 is simple. They try it one time, after that they will never do it again. 😂😂
8 be clear to them. Don't talk with them, just send them away. It is trash, treat them like that!
9 get a place outside Amsterdam. It is cheaper and you can easily visit Amsterdam if you want, but there is more and better outside Amsterdam!

I just love it that he starts with drugs clearly showing that there's a drug problem in our country nowadays

Great hints 👍
Thx from Munich... 😉

do they like black people ? just wondering

Be careful with getting a taxi, they seem to get lost and you have to pay for the privilege. 45 euros for a very long ride which wasn't supposed to be. Sorry Amsterdam never visiting you again.

RED DEAD TOURIST
The thrill of the game

Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht are big places that people may want to visit on a Day trip from Amsterdam.

Very Professional great video

There's drugs and then there's "drugs". It's key to be mindful of this and not put them all in the same category. They are not all as bad as one another. Clearly you're referring to Cannabis when you mention coffee shops. Cannabis is no more harmful than Alcohol and arguably less so, yet there's no recommendation not to visit the bars and get absolutely drunk! I think a better message would be "everything in moderation" in terms of what Amsterdam has to offer without breaking the law.

Don't forget the Indonesian restaurants. In the best ones the food is awesome.

Dont forget to visit Rotterdam

HEY THANKS! AND GREETINGS FROM BOGOTA COLOMBIA!...... THANKS A LOT!

Born in the Red Light District where Dad had a small business. After serving in the compulsory Army, I fulfilled my dream since age 3, becoming a Police Officer in my famous district (until age 29.) And yes, be careful with the ladies of "Horizontal Pleasure". Their pimps may warn you not to take pictures. Ignore them and they may throw you into the canal. (No Joke). Enjoy your stay.

The dutch are some of the best people ever (coming from a historical rival, England)

How did I know that was going to be #1????

i can't think of anything worse than going with them birds in the window

There is quit good accomodation available for a decent price if you think out of the box. The public transport is great and a lot of towns are within 20 minutes with Subway, light rail or train. Amstelveen, Haarlem, Amsterdam North, Almere for example. And just half an hour from Amsterdam is another beautiful city: Utrecht, its city center is much older and it has very special old canals with warfs: platforms that are just on water level. And intercities are going at least four times an hour from Amsterdam CS as well as Schiphol Airport. Travelling is cheap so you can even combine several towns and cities and still have much more value for your money. Another tip if you don't like long lanes and want to visit the top museums in Amsterdam: travel outside the busy season. September is for example a very nice month will still acceptable temperatures (no it is not Spain or Italy) but a friendly 15-20 degrees is still very common. Notice that no other city in europe has so much art galeries and just a very few have the combination of having really top museums (Centraal, Stedelijk, Van Gogh) next to one of the best classical orchestras in the world (Concertgebouw), ballet next to a popular music scene that is absolutely top. Whatever your taste is, you can find it in Amsterdam. Drugs and right light districts are also in lesser and cheaper cities available around Europe.

I went to Amsterdam for 5 days and in them 5 days, I saw outside my hotel balcony on different days but the same area 2 people get hit by a bike, 1 old woman and 1 man. There wasn't a time I was walking around there where I wasn't thinking about getting hit by a bike xD but that could of just been the paranoia from the weed who knows xD

van go though

Funny to hear this (American?) guy. He is so right. "Amsterdam is not a red light district '. 😆😆

Dont you dare skip Naturalis when you’re there

There are drugs and then there is marijiana

HAHAHA - I quit drugs altogether!!! I need not worry here!!! I'll just smoke my herb and drink my warm beer lol
(as I do in my own Country of origin)

Only watching this as its my birthday and I usually go but covid stopped it this year-so sad

I would goto Netherlands for the clubs and defqon 1 festivals

"Drugs"
You mean weed? Lol what else they got, shrooms and hash?

The most overrated city in the world may it be as a tourist destination, business location, etc. my take is Amsterdam is merely an obsession from the English-speaking world, especially the UK. I personally think Frankfurt to be just as great as Amsterdam

Amsterdam is only for the tourists who do not know their way around the Netherlands. See it as your tourism tutorial.

Just dont go only to amsterdam or yeah you can come but there are manymany citys in the Netherlands that are very beautifull with much history and culture just like the hague , leiden, delft, zaandam. We even have islands...we call them “waddeneilanden”. So very much to do than only Amsterdam.✌🏼

Den Hague is the Capital of the Netherlands.

The "do's" of Amsterdam... do go!!! I was so skeptical as I thought it would be full of weed smokers and drunk English tourists (I am English) but my god was I wrong; it's a brilliant city and one that I am SO thankful I went to. It is worth the hype.

Thanks for making a video about Amsterdam. The rest of the Netherlands is way different than Amsterdam.

Cracks and sinkholes are appearing alongside the waterways of Amsterdam.
Bicycles are tumbling into the swirling water as the canalsides vanish beneath their wheels.
Quay walls are collapsing against houseboats. Bridges are in trouble.
While the recent Covid-19 restrictions have relieved the Dutch capital from the more superficial blight of overtourism, it seems the city has a more pressing existential crisis.
It's in danger of crumbling into the water it's built upon. And only a makeover of enormous proportions can save it.
Fortunately, no one has been hurt yet, but unless it can work out how to carry out the millions of dollars' worth of delicate repairs needed, some of the beautiful medieval infrastructure that makes Amsterdam such a popular destination could be lost.
Amsterdam's day of reckoning shouldn't really have come as a surprise.

What’s the reeks museum is the rijks museum

rotterdam is so much better,they have kapsalon and the weed is cheaper,amsterdam is beautiful but its full of tourists....

Great Video. Thank you for posting.

thanks for this! amsterdam is going to be my first trip abroad alone and this helped a lot :)
