This exhibit seemed to be a hidden gem, I saw only four visitors during our 2 hour stay. Because each piece was so intricate and small, the small crowd allowed us to really take our time and appreciate the art. The work itself is mindblowing, incredible pieces of art on the teeniest, tiniest, oddest of canvases. A MUST SEE!!!

In the heart of Amsterdam's bustling centre lies one of the city's oldest museums: Museum Our Lord in the Attic. Here visitors get to experience the Dutch Golden Age in a special way: a 17th-century house with a top floor converted into a Catholic church.

Amazing to find what was hidden behind the facade of an old Dutch house bordering one of the canals. Fascinating insight into the life of the house from the 1600s to sometime in the 1800s with the family rooms, storage rooms and at the top of the house, a complete church. We wandered around up and down steep stairs, with our audio guides in hand which we found extremely helpful. Wonderful experience and one not to be missed!

Stumbled across this fantastic brewery right in the heart of Amsterdam which also provided a tour of its fully functioning and producing brewery. Tour guide was friendly, fun, really informative and shared some really interesting facts about Amsterdam history and brewing. Well worth a visit and that’s before you round off the tour in the bar with an included beer, the “bartenders sampling board” is well worth trying 4 of these great beers in one hit :).

Ripley's Believe It or Not! Amsterdam is the home of the bizarre and unbelievable! Over 500 crazy, yet true items that will for sure make you question your senses! Take a break from all the craziness in our Ripley's Lounge. Just a few minutes walking distance from The Central Station.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! was a lot of fun and very intersting. Normaly our 16 year old son does not want to enter a museum, but this want was even for him very interesting. The most fascinating thing for me was the shrunken heads..

We stopped at the club while visiting Amsterdam. The location of the club, right in the dam square, is perfect to take a mid day break. Wines recommended by the staff were delicious and probably best priced in the whole of the city. Lunch was delicious and service was great. We sat in the balcony for a while over looking the Dam square and it was brilliant way to enjoy a cigar, outdoor but protected. Really good service.

This area in the oldest part of Amsterdam is known for the red neon windows that display barely-dressed prostitutes advertising their services; it's all perfectly acceptable as long as it stays inside this designated area of the city.

This is fabulous to see and explore, we as a couple felt safe everywhere, the ladies do not allow any pics at all even selfies in the area, it is very busy, best to go after dark for full effect, deffo visit the museums there as they are fab, the €2 peep shows are also a must, visit the banana bar for an eye opener and the bulldog for a drink to sit and watch it all go by, it's a must when you go to Amsterdam.
