In winter, you can iceskate on the Museumplein or Leidseplein. There are a lot of bars are on Leidseplein and Rembrandplein. If you like art, definitely visit the Rijksmuseum with the real Rembrandt paintings. Shopping at the Kalverstraat and the ‘nine streets’. Amsterdam is more famous for walking around near the canals in the center and enjoying the vibe especially in the bars and maybe a coffeeshop? Coffeeshops are everywhere and if you wanna see prostitues you have to go to the famous red light area.

By the way, I advise you, when you plan to visit these museums, and the Anne Frankhuis, go AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE, otherwise you have to wait at least 3 hours, and that is a waste of your time.

Other stuff to visit:
– Heineken experience – drink beer at sub-zero temperatures
– eat freshly made stroopwaffles
– Cheese museum (free entry)
