10 Tips For Visiting Amsterdam as a Solo Traveller!

[@alexjones7999]

Great video 😁 I'm going to Amsterdam soon for 2 nights and one day, first time ever going somewhere alone with social anxiety it's not good! But I'm excited that I'm pushing my boundaries and proving to myself that I can do it, but I am so nervous I just want it to go smooth 😬 I know I'll have fun but I'll find it hard meeting people. Great tips tho your right I'd want to explore the city and surround rather than just smoke weed and get drunk.

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

Thank you for watching. That's so great to hear, good luck! That's it, Amsterdam is so full of awesome things to do that you'll be fine. I've only felt mildly anxious of being on my own there in the really central tourity part as I said so by all means go there but perhaps do a walking tour like I did to see the area properly and be in a group and then stick to the more local areas as they're even better to see anyway! :)

How did it go..? 4 years later, have you been back...? I sure have. Cheers.

[@maxfraser1259]

Going for 2 nights in two weeks! Never done a solo trip before so feeling very nervous but this video has really helped a lot!

[@IndianBeauty02]

Thank u ❤ let me take notes

[@shawncarroll]

I loved that vlog!! I'll be staying at the StayOkay Hostel for a week in September. You're the first person that has also stayed there that I've seen. To me that's exciting! (doesn't take much) I'm also traveling solo & will be visiting the museums & trying to do many of those things you mentioned, plus Haarlem.

Never been on a solo trip and never been to Europe, but Amsterdam is #1 on my list this video helped me feel more at ease can't wait to visit Amsterdam in 2020 for my 27th birthday.

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

That's so good to hear! It's such an incredible city and perfect for a birthday!

[@johnpickles974]

Just found your video, really excellent. Am off to Amsterdam in about 3 weeks for couple of days as a solo traveler. Was here 3 years ago pre pandemic……. Your tips are spot on and thank you from a Brit/American

[@christineappel-hinderliter3086]

Love your video, thanks for sharing. I too love to travel alone and I love Amsterdam! I was first introduced to Delft and Amsterdam for a long weekend with my daughter and hooked. The following year i spent a week solo, staying near Vondelpark and absolutely loved it. I felt completely safe the entire time. Almost everyone speaks English so that really helps, little to no language barrier. I’m looking forward to my next solo visit this October, I rented a houseboat near the Anne Frank museum staying 10 days!! Ladies or gentleman get out there, it feels wonderful to solo travel.

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

Hello, Thank you for watching and I'm glad you can relate so much and that you had such a great experience in Amsterdam too. Oh wow that sounds like a great trip you have coming up, staying a boat will be such a unique experience! Enjoy it :)

Flying out to Amsterdam solo and staying in the same hostel so feeling a lot more confident about heading there on my own! Thank you!

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

That's so great! It's a lovely hostel and a great location! :)

Awesome upload miss Quinn 😊 I was a bit wary of going to the dam solo next month but this video has gave me a new perspective. Nice one 👌

[@allenko7892]

I was there alone 20 years ago, and I am going back alone next month

[@mylifeasbel]

just subscribed! planning to go next month! thank you for the tips!

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Ellie, I'm so glad you came back to Amsterdam and really enjoyed it traveling solo! I really hope visitors enjoy this city as I mentioned in tip number 10 and follow the crowd by doing what the locals do. Though, I'm sure we all do some silly things, too!

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

I'm so glad I visited again too! It was great catching up with you! I hope so too! Thanks for the tip! :D

[@jillieherrold5660]

Thanks for the video! I'm studying abroad alone in Amsterdam this spring so this was very helpful to me

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

Ah that's brilliant, it's such a fantastic city and glad the video helped :)

[@willembruins9103]

Hi there! Nice to see you enjoy Amsterdam so much. But as a Dutchman, I can really recommend a city trip to Rotterdam as well! If you like a city of modern architecture too, however. It's very different from Amsterdam and less touristic, but it has the largest port of Europe, the city has a lot to offer, for example in the maritime area. Also, the city is very fine for travelling solo. Besides that, there are multiple other smaller towns in the Greater Rotterdam area, for example Schiedam, which is a historic city with canals and the tallest windmills of the world which can be visited (some of those). Rotterdam is less than half an hour away from the airport of Amsterdam, but you could also take the ferry (day or night sailing) from Harwich to Hoek van Holland, which is real fun!

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

I've been to Rotterdam too, I loved it.

[@bdiddy9562]

Bulldog hostel is the move. I loved it there.

[@trulsdirio]

I absolutely go to Amsterdam to get high. But defenitly not only to get high. I really enjoy coffeeshops and how unique and quirky most of them are. But I also love the architecture, the art that is hidden everywhere, the many great (and I mean greeeaaat!!!) museums, the free ferry over to northern Amsterdam, which always acts as a bit of a 'gateway from the madness' when getting over to where my go to camping spot (Vliegenbos, seriously great, 11€ per night with a great clean sanitary complex, free phone charging and a great terrace with a fireplace to meet new people and an outdoor kitchen free tu use, that is hard to beat!) is, as it is next to a little forrest and really seems like a village rather than a huge city. SO awesome, my favorite city. And as it is only 200 Km away from my home, I can go there even for a daytrip.

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

Wow you have all the tips there and lots of info, living so close must be amazing! Thanks for the information :)

[@zoesmith1536]

Sun glasses are fabulous. I need to get a pair.

Wow beautiful

[@alteredillusions100]

I stayed in that same hostel but I hated walking to the street and back:)

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

It is a little off the street isn't it but a few times I walked through the park which was nice :)

[@Snakesborough]

If you really want to see the beauty of the Netherlands then skip Amsterdam and visit the Hanseatic towns in the east, like Zutphen, Deventer, Zwolle and Kampen. Smaller, quieter, cheaper, older and friendlier than Amsterdam.

[@bryan4740]

Try to come to Indonesia in Indonesia there are many good places to visit

[@icysurfer1]

One of the best places to travel solo Male or Female. For Men, fun as can be. For Women also fun, and safe, as Dutch Men are quite chill about not sexualizing every encounter. American Men, well, you know it's the opposite.

[@Paul_C]

At 4.40 Red=Dead, sidewalk is the grey bit. That is the absolute FIRST thing you need to be aware of. Most of the Dutch use bicycles as main transport mode for short distances, and they really have no patience with tourists. And sorry to say this, but they are right. You wouldn't cross second avenue without looking, would you?

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

I can totally see why they have no patience!

[@timvuong1987]

nice video !!! from Italy i will visit Amsterdam 6-15 August and Cologne 15-20/8 😘😘😘

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

Great, enjoy it!

[@hannahheal354]

When it comes to getting the plane and travelling to the area where you are staying, do you use any public transport?

[@mahdodeh3593]

thansa for this video...fortunalely i have book in the same hostel stayokay amsterdam ...how far from the park and canter? k..

[@nisabodak4929]

How is the safety? Can I walk back to the hotel alone at night or when it's dark outside

[@rajani829]

I am going to Amsterdam on 23rd July and I am staying in Flying Pig Hostel. I have never done a solo trip and I am pretty scared for whether I would be able to mingle with the crowd or not? Should I be having second thoughts?

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

That is a good hostel I believe, it has good ratings. I think it does host a few parties etc but I can't imagine that everyone there will be there to party so I'm sure you'll be fine! :)

hi np you dont have to its super save and flying pig is a lot of fun

Take a shot every time she says "Amsterdam". You'll be paralytic by the time the video is over

[@msmecamecca]

Did you notice any other Hostels that you would recommend for the Solo Female traveler..?? Also, How far was your hostel from the center..??

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

There are so many hostels in Amsterdam. This hostel in Vondelpark was in the centre, its just not near central station but I think thats too central as its the really busy touristic area with all the bars etc. This hostel is about 10 minutes from the main shopping street :)

[@nesrinefellahi6909]

Hostelle, I v never been there, but it is a hostel for only girls 😊

[@timvuong1987]

hi Mecca, most of hostels they have female room only and mixed room, male room only (not often) . i will visit Amsterdam 6-15 August i booked hostel in center but bit expensive

[@happyheartslee]

All stayokays are fully booked! ㅠㅠ

[@strongmanr]

Hi pretty girl, thanks for this awesome tour. I am planning to visit Amsterdam in August and I am wondering is three nights are enough to visit the city or no, I need also to find a way to connect to Berlin for about one week there. Any advice please for a solo traveler ?

[@timvuong1987]

hi, i will visit Amsterdam in August too

[@strongmanr]

@@timvuong1987 I think the lady is too busy to give advices, I will figure out there anyway

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

Yes 3 nights is plenty! You will see a lot in that time. Enjoy it!

DO NOT GO TO MOCO MUSEUM. IT IS SCAM. the art there are fake as well as the merchandice they sell. art often hangs there without the permission of the artists and rights holder. many artists have blacklisted moco.

[@henrimessinghausen5185]

Best tip: go to Rotterdam instead.

don't call it 'the Dam' ughhhh
