Things to do in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a popular city for all ages thanks to its variety of museums and wide range of attractions! We would recommend a visit to Anne Frank’s house. This is a touching experience, as you will not only see the house itself but also the secret rooms that the famous diary frequently mentioned. For our bus passengers who enjoy research and technology, the NEMO science centre should definitely be in your itinerary for your trip to Amsterdam! The building’s impressive architecture, unusual design and large roof terrace allows both children and adults to interactively explore the world of science. A visit to the oldest building in the city, the "Oude Kerk," is a complete contrast to the NEMO museum. It was built in the 13th Century and is in the district of what we know today as the “Red Light District,” a prime example of the many different faces of Amsterdam. The Royal Palace Amsterdam is not used by the Dutch royal family nowadays but is reserved purely for state visits and receptions; however, it is possible to visit the premises of the former town hall. The diversity of the city and range of attractions that it has to offer is what makes Amsterdam one of the most popular European destinations for travellers.

Amsterdam: Culture & History

After its initial establishment as a fishing village, Amsterdam soon became established as a trade town and has now become one of Europe’s most important trading cities. The capital city is also a cultural metropolis with a rich history. The numerous still standing warehouses and bridges of many different designs represent the boom years of the city and demonstrate Amsterdam’s prosperity. Amsterdam’s museums display masterpieces which exemplify the spectacular art that came out of the Netherlands’ Golden Ages. If you want to discover some Dutch history, we recommend a visit the National Dutch Museum where you can explore over one million different artefacts.

At “Paradiso”, you can dance to the music of your favourite DJ’s, who often drop in for live performances. “Paradiso” is also a unique nightclub as it used to be a church of the 19th Century so its building is of incredible and unique architecture. If you would like to end your day of shopping or sightseeing in a more relaxed winding down way, then you can spend your evening in one of Amsterdam’s pubs. For example, the “in het Aepjen” which is just one of Amsterdam’s pubs presenting an impressive selection of beer that you can try on your bus trip to the Netherlands capital city.
