The State Museum the state museum is a magnificent Gothic and Renaissance style building it's considered Amsterdam's top Museum the reichs museum features an impressive collection from artists like Vermeer Rembrandt and Dutch Master words from the Golden Age the grounds also house a Library garden and even has a Michelin star restaurant located in it it's best to get here as early as you can to

Heineken bottle with a personalized label number nine on the list is Museum ohms layer hair up solder which translates to our Lord in the Attic sorry if I butchered that this Museum was a former Church above a 17th century Canal House it was once Amsterdam's best kept secret this historic site is Amsterdam's second oldest Museum it gives you a glimpse of how locals lived and worshiped the lower levels features living areas kitchens and bathrooms then there's a ladder that leads to the Attic which reveals a beautifully preserved Church on the third floor it is a very stunning building and has a unique history number 10 on the list is the red light district and a bonus lead in the Square so yes I cannot mention Amsterdam without mentioning what made it very popular which is the red light district the red light district is Amsterdam's oldest city this area is definitely more for the ones who are hedonistic at heart and it is not everybody's taste I do not recommend families going to this year and things can get a little Rowdy up until the wee hours of the night so if you want an alternative leading square is Amsterdam's entertainment scene leading square is filled with nightclubs casinos movie theaters and concert venues so as you can guess it is always filled with people and crowds so if you are not very keen to crowds you may want to stay away from this place but again it is the entertainment Square where you can find all of the bars and all of the nightlife here in Amsterdam yay you have you have made it to the end of the video thank you so much for coming by
