7 AMSTERDAM MISTAKES TO AVOID 🌷🇳🇱 Save this before your trip 📍 Staying only around Dam Square Explore De 9 Straatjes, Jordaan and the quieter canals for the Amsterdam you actually came to see. 📍 Only seeing the canals from the street Skip the huge tourist boats and choose a smaller canal cruise for a more intimate experience. 🛶✨ 📍 Skipping Amsterdam Noord Take the FREE ferry behind Central Station to A’DAM Lookout or NDSM for a completely different side of Amsterdam. 📍 Not booking the Anne Frank House ahead Tickets sell out quickly! Combine your visit with De 9 Straatjes, Jordaan + the Amsterdam Tulip Museum. 🌷 📍 Only visiting the famous museums Go beyond Rijksmuseum & Van Gogh - try Fabrique des Lumières, STRAAT Museum or Hortus Botanicus. 🌿 📍 Eating around the biggest tourist squares Explore De Pijp, Oud-West and Jordaan for better cafés, brunch spots & local restaurants. ☕️ 📍 Forgetting about the bikes 🚲 NEVER walk in the bike lanes - and always look before crossing. 😅 🌷 BONUS TIP: Visiting in spring? Book a tulip canal cruise and combine it with De 9 Straatjes + Jordaan. ✨ Amsterdam gets SO much better once you step beyond the obvious tourist spots. Save this before your Amsterdam trip & send it to your travel buddy 🤍 #Amsterdam #AmsterdamTravel #NetherlandsTravel #TravelTips #VisitAmsterdam
