Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We walked and walked and walked around this area and took so many pictures of scenic canals and bicycles and flower boxes that it will take weeks to sort them all out. Beautiful and peaceful area (mind the kamikaze bicyclists!).

    There is no better way to unwind after a long day of sightseeing and walking. Everytime I come to Amsterdam I love a sit down here to listen to the fountains, birds and passers by. well maintained, clean and tidy.

    We stumbled on this market just as the merchants were closing up shop but I was still able to snag some wooden tulips for a good price at the last minute. Lots of little shops and food carts.

    NEMO Science Museum was an engaging, interactive attraction for all ages, featuring hands-on exhibits in various scientific fields. It’s educational and we really enjoyed our time there.

    An iconic bustling central square in the heart of Amsterdam. Great for people watching and a centrally located spot. There are pay public toilets in the shopping area nearby.

    This was a very good experience. Although is not as big as the one in London, we thought that the museum was very nicely put together with it's themed rooms and interactive activities. The new figures are fantastically done.

    The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with our little kids. They were able to explore the windmill and take their time with the steep stairs. Highly recommend.

    Really interesting place to walk around with a fascinating history and a lovely church. It is a really lovely place to spend half an hour and find out more about Amsterdam's history.

    I must admit this museum was much larger than I expected. Some sections were easy to anticipate, but others really astonished me. Probably the most attractive ones are about whales and waling, as well as the ship East Indiaman Amsterdam. There were three more ships to visit for an additional payment, but I skipped that and yet was exhausted after exploring all exhibitions. Plan to have more than 3 hours for a visit.

    A disclaimer: I was there in August, 2023, not September.

    A very classy part of town, away from all the honky tonk. The museum buildings are gorgeous and are in park like settings, and along canals. There are a lot of tourists, but the crowds seem to melt away. Places to eat and drink nearby. Buy your museum tickets ahead of time.

    Mainly for local students, researchers and general public but it's an amazing building over 7 floors so well worth a visit.
    Good cafe and restaurant on top floor with panoramic views across the city.
    Oh, and the toilets are free!

    Great attraction, suitable for adults, teens and young kids with interactive exhibits and tons of microbes to learn more about. You can scan your body, analyse a kiss, and study life under a microscope. Everyone working there was super friendly and happy to help too. A fun and unique experience.

    We very much enjoyed our time at the Rembrandt’s Amsterdam experience. It is not a museum, it is more like an experience that you can immerse yourself in and enjoy the dramatic performance of Rembrandt and his story. At the end there was an option to create some fun AI Rembrandt style artwork, which we look back on with fondness. It was a great 1 hour fun which we were able to slot in whilst we were waiting for a restaurant booking. Thank you for the great experience.
