The things I did in Amsterdam

📍Canal tour:
This I feel as if it is a must do while in Amsterdam! It allows you to see a lot of the city at one time. My tour had wine and cheese so couldn’t go wrong! There were some cruises with a open air back with tulips and it would make such a good photo op. They were relatively inexpensive.
📍Stedslijk Modern Art Museum
I stumbled upon this museum by accident. It is next to the Van Gogh Museum. They had handheld devices to go around the museum and the artist describes the artwork. This was very helpful since I do not understand modern art, it was also included with the entrance to the museum. I spent at least 2 hours here and I did not think I would be there that long.
📍Red Light District
I was told this is a must do while in Amsterdam. If you are going to go, go during the night. Mainly it is to see the ladies in the window. It was interesting but not for me.
📍Walking Around the Canals
This was probably my favorite! Very relaxing and can see a ton of new sites. I love to people watch so this was perfect!
