I'm Dutch and pretty familiar in Amsterdam and I approve this message! :) In all seriousness, this is such a good video! I thought it was going to be museums and landmarks and things but these are actually really useful tips! I really appreciate the bit about drugs and sex work as well, because let's be real, that IS what a lot of tourists come for!

Can someone tell me how to get to Easy Hotel Kruisweg 565, Hoofddorp, 2132 from Schiphol Airport by bus. Also I need a travel card to use unlimited, for 2 days Between the above hotel and travelling around Amsterdam (I don't think I will need to use the train from the hotel). What are the cost and the type of travel card I will need. Any help would be greatly appreciated

@@enamulhoque2103 1. For any travel planning: 9292.nl 2. If you're just talking travel (OV-Chipkaart), you can buy an 'anonymous' card from any of the many machines around train/subway stations. If, however, you're interested in both getting around as well as visiting museums, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the IAmsterdam card. There's options going from one, all the way up to five days. More info about the latter here: www.iamsterdam.com/en/i-am/i-amsterdam-city-card?gclid=Cj0KCQjwzozsBRCNARIsAEM9kBMh3plYg_IUQWFUyuRpx40TZEsn7JlDkOAjsqmRNH6wFRYvl2N-iA8aAga8EALw_wcB

Man, I wish I had watched this before my trip. I made a few faux pas when I was experimenting with the coffeeshops, and I didn’t even realize it in the moment. I got some weird looks when I pulled out a joint from a different coffeeshop than the one I was in. I tried to at least buy something every time I went in to not be that rude, but I was totally unaware that they really want you to only consume their product. I also will admit to smoking a joint in the street, another thing I didn’t know was not okay. I apologize for being a bad tourist and hopefully I can visit again to redeem myself, because Amsterdam was such a beautiful city and I’m itching to come back:)

I've been to Amsterdam many times, and this is probably the best video I've seen. To be honest, I've never felt that Dutch people were rude in any way. On the contrary, I've always found them to be nice as could be. It's true that everybody speaks English fluently, but I do wish I had taken the time to learn to say at least something in Dutch! Yes, out of respect for the country, but also because I think Dutch sounds so great - I loved the way she pronounced "Haarlem" and "De Pijp". My only disagreement with most opinions about the Dutch is about their standoffish nature. My big interest is trains, and during my last trip I was riding from Utrecht back to Amsterdam, when a woman took the empty seat next to me, said something in Dutch, and when she realized I was lost, she switched to the most fluent English you ever heard and we had a wonderful chat the whole way. When I told her about my interest in trains, she recommended I go back to Utrecht to the train museum, which I did the next day. And she was not the exception - most people I ran into in all my trips were like that. If that's being direct, there's nothing wrong with it at all! Again, great video!

I have been visiting the Netherlands since 1996 I never ride a bike, it looks like fun, but if you want to ride do outside the Center City. Tires getting caught in Tram tracks are brutal, I have seen many of these accidents. Love your advise, is spot on. One thing I would recommend is that people coming for the Coffee Shops find your hotel or where ever you are staying first write on your arm if you have to. The Netherlands is a beautiful country. I will see you May 2019.

i visited in 2013! loved amsterdam! we stayed in a hostel in the "downtown" for one night (i don't know if it's known as that in dutch) and then LEFT to a bit further out, near the van gogh museum because it was so much quieter, more families and gardens. we only stayed for a week so there wasn't time to see the rest of the city. I wish i could have seen Haarlem! It was around easter time and we only had a week before we had to start work again. we actually hired bikes that were painted fully black so it wasn't an as obvious tourist bike hahaha, and we rode ALL DAY around the edge of the city centre. it was awesome! it was pretty quick to work out the rules of bikes, but i preferred to stay away from where cars were as those rules were hard to understand, and as an australian cyclist i have a fear of cars ;b The netherlands are definitely a place I am excited to return to!

Hi...Just came back from the Nederlands...Unfortunately in the red light district I saw many tourists passing by with their children...apparently it's the main attraction for most people. Transportation wise I did walk throughout the city...apart from one day when I rented a bike to go to Volendam...it was a nice experience, although the city bikes are a pain in the ass...literally! :) Bikers in the city drove me frustrated a bit...they are just the kings although sometimes they get badly injuered...Still while cycling I did like a king as well! :)...I spent a evening in De Pijp, which is very Dutch and nice...I visited Anne Frank huis, Van ogh museum and Reijksmuseum...also a canal cruise...and all in 3 full days...after that I had several day trips,some from Amsterdam, some from Rotterdam: Volendam by bike, then Utrecht (which was my favourite), Rotterdam (the worst), Delft, Hague, and 2 hours in Leiden...another day I left the Nederlans and went to Antwerpen and it was a nice discover...Along the way I saw several wind mills, so I just chose not to do a specific visit to a mill site....Ciao from Sardinia

Hey! Don't know if you have already been, but this website : 9292.nl/en will get you anywhere in the Netherlands by public transport. On this website you can also see the costs of the trip you are going to take. You can buy a travel card called 'ov-chipkaart' at schiphol as well. You can add credit to it at any train station and some supermarkets and is the most affordable way to travel in the netherlands. This card will work on all public transport (train, bus, metro, ferry). If you are only in the Netherlands for a layover and only need to go to and from the hotel once it is better to just get the tickets in the bus.

Hey Cecilia, I wrote a long response, but I deleted it.. in short: the dutch public transport is not that accesible, especially the transport in cities (bus, tram, metro). My recomendation is: take a trip to the Netherlands, but maybe only go on a daytrip tot Amsterdam (maybe with a taxi van, you don't want to drive there yourself) and for the rest of your trip go see what Elde the Netherlands have to offer :) most places in our country, beside Amsterdam are easy to acces with car and walking. For example Utrecht (where i live hehe) you can park closer to the city center and the streets aren't as crowded as in Amsterdam. Hope this helps :)

Nice to see a video about Amsterdam. And I really like how you also recommend venturing outside the city and explore a bit more. Also I think it is good to warn people about the traffic (and not cycle if you really can't). But (sorry, there is a but) I really don't get why you are always saying Amsterdam is unsafe... It really isn't, if you use common sense. At least not more unsafe than Utrecht or any other European city for that matter. Anywhere within the 'ring' is fine to visit. And if I were a tourist I would do my best to avoid the most touristy area's (apart from the big museums).

I do have to admit I grew up in quite a sheltered environment so it doesn't take *that* much to make me feel unsafe, but it makes sense I'd see things from my own perspective. Also, when I'm visiting another city, there are certain types of areas I'd rather not end up in. I imagine I'm not the only one, it's always good to know the safe neighbourhoods so I just thought I'd throw it in :) And yes, within the ring is fine, but I wasn't sure how to explain that concisely so I just refer to it as roughly the center.

I did not want to be rude or anything. But I've been living here for almost 25 years now and it was much grimmer when I came here. And even then it was okay in most parts in my opinion. Amsterdam is a perfectly safe place to visit and sometimes I just feel a little offended when I think 'my' city is being critized. ;) It is probably also just the fact that it is unfamiliar to you. You will probably feel the same in some years time. Maybe you should also explore a little more. :D

I visited The Netherlands in January... I fell in love! I went to Amsterdam, Zaanse Schans, Utrecht and Den Helder. I loved your public transportation system, it works perfectly and it takes you anywhere, no need for cars. I didn't rent a bike because I only learned how to ride last year so I didn't want to be in the way... I've always wanted to live abroad and The Netherlands, along with Ireland and Denmark, is one of the countries I'd like to move to. Thank you for your tips!

You went to Den Helder?! Cool. I'm from there originally (now Amsterdam) and there are hardly any tourist going there. Just out of curiosity.... Why did you decide to go there and what did you think of it?

Hi! I wanted to see the Noordzee so I chose Den Helder, I thought that Zandvoort was too touristy... I visited Den Helder, Huisduinen and its lighthouse, I loved it! It was very quiet, immersed in nature, amazing. It was quite foggy that and it looked kinda magical to me! I would've loved to go to Noorderhaaks but in January it was rather complicated. My boyfriend and I were the only people there, we met just one man walking his dog!

That's so cool. Love to read that you liked it. I had to look up Noorderhaaks. I call that 'de Razende Bol'. And I can imagine it would not be easy to arrange getting there. There is nothing there (literally) so there are no tours or ferry or anything. You would have to charter a boat and I can see that that would be a problem in January. ;) If you ever plan to come again I can recommend visiting one of the Islands too. May I ask where you are from?

Hi there, we've been enjoying traveling along with you on your 'insiders' video, (especially as we make 4k walks and have just filmed Amsterdam too), so it's lovely to see a different eye view, thank you. Perhaps we could subscribe to each other and share more?
