Top 5 Things To Do In Amsterdam
Time to Enjoy the Simple Pleasures
It's no secret that Amsterdam is one of the
most exciting places on this Earth to visit. With its
rich history, artistic legacy, intricate canal
system, and abundance of museums, you will find that
there is so much to do and see in the time you
are there to visit. To help you come up with
somewhat of an itinerary for your vacation,
we've decided to write out a list of the top 5 things to
do while you're in Amsterdam.
1. Take a historical canal ride. The water
tours of Amsterdam are some of the most desired.
Since there are hundreds of canals throughout
the nation that were created just for travel,
there is no reason not to give this popular
attraction a try. During your gentle water ride, you'll get to view some of the
country's most detailed architecture and most beautiful
landscapes.
2. Take a walk through the wildflowers.
Amsterdam takes great pride in its bulb flowers,
especially tulips. Visit the amazingly vibrant
bulb flower park in Lisse if you wish to see
the tulips in all their glory. If you happen
to miss the tulip season, don't worry. There are
plenty of bulbed flowers that grow year-round
at the park.
3. Visit one of the many spectacular art
museums or history museums. Check out paintings
by Rembrandt, Van Gogh, or other
world-renowned artists or revisit history by walking into the Anne Frank House,
where you can see the secret annex where Anne hid during World War II.
4. Walkthrough De Wallen, the nation's red-light
district. Although it's famous for some
risky behavior, there is much more to the
city. Try out one of the district's fine restaurants,
small boutiques, or find more responsible
entertainment at any of the places not lit up
with red lights. For a faster way to venture
through, rent a bicycle. You'll find that you
rent a bike nearly anywhere in the country.
5. Last but not least, you mustn't leave the
country without trying some of its authentic Dutch cuisine or experiencing one
of its cannabis coffeehouses. People travel all over the world
to Amsterdam to encounter these coffee shops
in person. In Amsterdam, marijuana is
simply a way to unwind, and these coffeehouses
are some of the most reputable and
reliable sources to enjoy a delicious bite to eat
and a puff of smoke as you dine.

The Jesuit Stairs – These famous Baroque stairs
appeared in Season Five of the series during the infamous 'Walk of Shame'
scene. The stairs extend from Gundulic Square to St. Ignatius Church and embrace
Spanish architecture. The iconic scene catapulted the location's popularity and
has become a frequently visited landmark. The view from the top is charming and
gives you a great view of the city.
Fort Lovrijenac – This area is often referred to as St.
Lawrence Fortress and is a theater located on the outskirts of the western
walls of the Old Town in Dubrovnik. The interior of the fortress is used for
filming the halls of the 'Red Keep' while the exterior captures Blackwater Bay.
Visitors are welcome to navigate the fort and experience the ancient history
that lies within.
City Walls – The amazing City Walls of Dubrovnik were a
major deciding factor with producers when selecting Dubrovnik to shoot this
beloved series. Countless scenes feature the Medieval style walls, including
scenes near the Narrow Sea and many private walks taken on the show. You can
take a tour of the walls for a small fee. There are three main entrances, and
while taking the tour, you will get a chance to see Lovrijenac Fortress and capture
beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea.
Tresteno Arboretum – This site is a major filming
location, known as the Kings Landing and Red Keep's Garden on the show. It's
located 10 miles from Dubrovnik. The park is stunning and encapsulates the
privacy that's represented in the series. It's one of the oldest arboretums in
the world, and the hedges combined with the floral selections are immaculate.
Island of Lokrum – This island is located 600 meters
from the city and is home to the popular 'Iron Throne.' The throne is housed in
the Visitors Center and is free for spectators. You are welcome to pose and
snap a few pics sitting on the throne if you'd like. Other Game of Thrones
points of interest in Lokrum include the botanical gardens (located off the coast)
featured in the city of Quarth as well as the monastery.
The essence of the show is everywhere in Dubrovnik. As
you walk the streets you will surely recognize details and signature scenes
from the series.

Best nightlife: Mykonos, also known as 'The Island of
the Winds,' is world-renowned for their vibrant nightlife. Little Venice and
Paradise Beach are popular party destinations where clothing is optional, and
the LGBT scene is major. There are male go-go dancers everywhere, and parties
typically last all night. July and August are the primary months for tourism
and the wildest parties.
Best traditional village life: The island, Naxos is the
largest of the Cyclades and has a little over 6,500 inhabitants and a bit over
20 small villages. Naxos has ancient towers, paved streets, and has maintained
its unique Venetian architecture.
Best kiteboarding and windsurfing: With gusty winds
that can be seen from a mile away, Paros island is best known for kiteboarding
and windsurfing sports goers. Santa Maria, Prassonisi, and Pounda are the main
beaches where the sport is practiced. The Thalasea Sports Center is the bay of
Mikli Vigla and is a popular hub for the sport.
Best beaches: Located in the Aegean Sea, Milos is a
beautiful volcanic island that is rich in minerals as well as rich history.
Firopotamos, Kastanas, and Paliorema are some top beach destinations in Milos.
The white-washed Cycladic villages and black sands are picturesque backdrops.
Although some may be only accessible by boat, there are over 80 mini beaches
throughout Milos that you can explore.
Best for nature lovers: Ikaria has some of the World's
most pristine and untouched nature territories. It has been identified as a
place that promotes life longevity and better overall health.
Best Robinson Crusoe destination: Koufonisia is
comprised of two islands, Pano (upper) and Kato (lower). The preferred way to
navigate the area is by foot or cycling, as everything is within walking
distance. The island has a museum and many sightseeing options.
Best couples getaway: Folegandros does not get the
crowded tourist scene as most Greek towns do. They have a broad selection of
restaurants and cafes. Chora is the main village and has been preserved well,
noting open landscapes and clifftop housing.
Best food: Cretan cuisine focuses on all-natural
ingredients and can be enjoyed at any local tavern throughout the islands. Some
dishes include Dakos, Gamopilafo, Mizithropita, and Apaki.
Now you're all set! With a myriad of beautiful
architecture, scenic waterfronts, and rich history. There is much to enjoy.
