I know Amsterdam better than my home town of Houston, TX. Been using A'dam as my Europe hub for over 10 years. Trust that it is Beautiful and jawdropping at night when you are in a boat on the canals. Cheers!
I'm sure that the sellers at the flower market are irritated by the tourists, because they only take pictures and probably rarely buy flowers. I can't blame them for that kind of behavior. Let's be honest, what are tourists supposed to do with fresh flowers, they can't take them home 🤷🏻♀️
Bojana, I'm Dutch, haven't been in Amsterdam for about 10 years, and had never heard of the flower market! It's really a tourist thing, and I'm sure they sell enough seeds, (tulip) bulbs and gifts to make a nice profit :)
Not dissapointed, au contraire, amsterdam is my favourite city in the world, im from mexico and i can say that netherlands as a whole is beautiful, as well as belgium
I consider Amsterdam as home, although I live in Utrecht. But both Utrecht and Amsterdam are part of the Randstad area. And I am there a lot also. The Randstad is the biggest megalopolis of Europe, with like 8 million people and the economical heart of The Netherlands .... and distances between Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Den Haag (The Hague) are short (all these cities are together 'the Randstad') ... I do agree that this specific flower market in Amsterdam isn't special.... but as this guy from Israel is saying: not every country sells flowers in street markets..... Go to the big street market in Rotterdam for example.... in front of the Market Hall (Markthal) you have one of the biggest if not the biggest street market of The Netherlands with almost 250 market stalls ...also with flowers and plants and seeds etc, every Saturday from 08:00h (08am) and inside the relatively new Market Hall you find like commercial eateries and stalls .... or in Utrecht on a Saturday at the Oudegracht (the old Canal) you also find market people selling flowers, or at the Janskerkhof, also in the city center of Utrecht you find a real flower and plant market, where regular Dutch people go to, every Saturday from 08:00h - 17:00h (8am to 5pm) .... Google 'Flower Market Janskerkhof'.... by the way: the flower and plant market at the Janskerkhof in the city center of Utrecht is next to a statue of Anne Frank, and always at the end of the day, when the market is closing, the market people lay some left over flowers (just a few flowers) at the statue of Anne Frank... (Utrecht is only 25 min by train from Amsterdam) But all the cities in the Randstad are all in short distance of each other, all easily accessible by train.... so when going to Amsterdam also see the rest of the Randstad ... this specific flower market in Amsterdam I always find a bit underwhelming and without a real atmosphere,...in Amsterdam you will find many stalls all around the city selling nice flowers .... or other markets with flower stalls.... this flower market in the video is one big tourist shop ... And yes Amsterdam does often look and feel much better than in photographs.... make sure to walk a lot.... go off the known routes.... go into side streets... go a bit further out.... the area around the red light district and the Dam Square are okay but Amsterdam as a whole is more interesting and beautiful.... just walk a lot and far.... Amsterdam isn't that big... but again... take the train and go explore the other cities in The Randstad....
No it is not. The other day an Italian guy asked me where "showed me an instagram photo" these colorfull houses are? I looked at the photo and saw something I have never seen before. I know te street on the photo but that photo was completely inaccurate due to editing 😂
Dutchies are so critical on our own beautiful city. Amsterdam lives up to the hype. London, Brussels, Copenhagen and Berlin however not so much. DW is a German outlet and tried to look down upon the Netherlands and paint a negative picture. However, dear Dutchies, let’s be proud on Amsterdam, because it IS one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a lot of Amsterdam’s GDP comes from tourists, so let’s not bite the hand that feeds us.
It was certainly not our intention to cast Amsterdam in a bad light. It was much more about drawing an authentic portrait. This includes both positive and less positive impressions.
Ah yes the said GDP going to be wasted on cable cars and other touristic fan-fare. While the city grapples with insane levels of a housing shortage. I say bite that hand off that "Feeds us" because in reality it's mostly sales tax and local taxes that "Feed us" not broke UK manchildren who come to vomit on the Dam.
In general, instagram looks more beautiful than reality. I have been to Amsterdam and there are parts that just look like in instagram and there are places that don't look like the part just like Paris, Sydney, York, Rome,,etc.
@@___beyondhorizon4664 Really? Ive been to the US lots of times and apart of course from the beautiful nature and landscapes, almost every town and city feels exactly the same.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, beauty is a point of view. I like pretty cities to look at, so I would rate Paris and Prague as more beautiful than Amsterdam or London. But I feel more cosy and at home in London and Amsterdam, so I do visit both more often. Both are helpful cities, and of course the Dutch all speak very good English. Many photos on Instagram are fixed to look more beautiful, humans included. If you think Instagram is real life, wake up !
There are more cosy City's in the Netherlands , I was sailing barge Broedertrouw Friday 28th july -- 6th august, go to Enkhuizen, Harlingen, the Waddensea Islands, Schiermonnikoog, Ameland, Terschelling, Vlieland, Texel and Wieringen, Stavoren, Hindelopen, Fryslân
If you dont feel it lives upto some farcical sense of “hype”, dont go.🤷🏽♂️ Amsterdam is one of my fav cities in the world to just roam around and chill.
Don't shorten it to "Dam". It is okay if you are talking about "the damsquare" or "the palace on the dam". But when talking about the entire city, you can shorten it to A'dam/Adam. The second biggest city, Rotterdam, in the Netherlands ends with "Dam" too, as do many villages and towns (e.g. Volendam). The Netherlands is not a country where 10% or more of the population lives in the capital, and it gets annoying how sometimes foreigners and people from Amsterdam themselves treat it as if it is. Canals can be found in most historic Dutch cities, even the ones with 100.000 people in it or less. Rotterdam has the biggest harbor in Europe. The Hague is the power/political heart of the Netherlands, also hosting the international justice court (Peace Palace) and most embassies.
Born and raised Amsterdammer here, the flower market is an overrated tourist attraction. The canals are like mentioned the biggest attraction and best experienced by boat. The city is overcrowded by tourists and due to a lack of people keeping it neat and tidy its disgusting by all the litter at some points. We can thank our incompetent politicians for that. The museums are top notch but crowded. Like others have mentioned, please come to the Netherlands but perhaps visit other nice cities in it so we can spread the load a bit. They are just as beautiful and exciting.
Amsterdam is heavily over-visited. I advise you to see other cities in the Netherlands or Belgium instead, as they are more typical and authentic. And if you choose Amsterdam, have a look at the North and the South of the city instead of just the centre.
Amsterdam is beautiful and small places as Delft or Giethoorn!!!! But also take a look at Bruges and Gent in Belgium , much more beautiful even! Berlin is not so good in real time....better go to Aachen. Such a nice city in Germany! I like smaller cities in Germany better then the big (the big ones are too messy and chaotic ..) 🥰 Amsterdam
Late summer, its very cold still in april. When going, be polight, dont get to intoxicated and be nice to the natives. Be cautious of walking on cycling lanes as in amsterdam : cyclists are always in the right. And before hopping on a big research a bit into traffic rules of cycling. Have a nice stay
@@Orbitinbloom19018 thanks 😊. The weather seems to be on par with the weather here in Toronto, so late summer it is!! My wild and crazy party days have long since passed, it’s all about the food and culture for me now.

Ijhallen if they are at that date as well its a nice second hand everything experience and the place is very quirky. enjoy ur trip and perhaps bring a coat ! the Netherlands is very unpredictable in weather
Amsterdams best attraction: Its cycling paths. Just rent a cheap bike and cycle all over the city. You can even bring them on the free ferries behind Central Station and go and explore some lesser know areas like the NDSM wharf in the north of Amsterdam where a lot of artist set up shop in abandoned industrial buildings. A cycle just lets you go where you want whenever you want so youll see a lot more.
To even ask the question _Is Amsterdam as Beautiful as on Instagram_ is to totally misunderstand the fundamental concept of photography (and Instagram too, for that matter). Would you ask _Is the night sky really as beautiful as a Van Gogh painting?_ Well of course it isn't derp, it's art. Not real life. That doesn't mean that Amsterdam isn't worth visiting, or that beauty can't be found there, or that there aren't any photo opportunities. I don't even get what the point of this video was.
Hi @danieldejaneiro8378! Many people are inspired by Instagram to travel to certain destinations. With this format we want to find out if a trip is really worth it - and have a look around the corner of famous spots. People normally take pictures only of the shiny and glamourous sights. We wanted to step further and show what's also there and maybe not on the pictures. Of course everyone can have great experiences in any place of the world. Greetings!
@@DWTravel - well of course people only take pictures of nice things. Who wants a photo of rubbish bins and sewer drains? Amsterdam has been one of the world’s most visited cities since forever, long before instagram was invented. If people are choosing where to vacation because they expect it to be exactly like a professional photograph, that’s their fault, not Amsterdam’s
Instagram, nothing luokse real in it . I think Amsterdam is More fascinating in realiteetit, also UA-cam feel the ambience of the city wich is a huge part of the city .❤
Amsterdam did not give me the WOW factor, that's before Instagram, I'm ok with it. I usually get a taste of a city to see if i like it or not, by choosing a flight with 10+ hours layover, getting into the city to explore. When KLM had cheap flights inthe spring, i did it twice. I spend 12 hours? Took the train to the flower market and walked around the red light district, it was ok. It didn't made me think, i must return to see more.... When i tried this method on Istanbul, i fell in love with the history, tulips in April, food etc, i have visited Istanbul 4 times by 2021.
The flower market and the Red Light District, if that's all you've seen, you haven't seen anything. Judging a city by visiting two tourist traps and thinking you've seen the city is like eating some crumbs that fall off a table in a restaurant and thinking you're eating the same exquisite dinner as the guests at that table.
Not surprised you're underwhelmed by the flower market, that simply is a tourist trap. Amsterdam has much prettier places to visit than the flower market.
I love Amsterdam, but it is true, the flower market is extremely underwhelming. Forget about Instagram, only stupid people make decisions through IG, the city has fantastic museums, parks and you can rent a bike and visit the whole city
Amsterdam is probably a lovely city but when i was there like 10 years ago in summer, it was way too crowded. Same goes for Prague. The places might be beautiful but for everyones sake they should put a cap on tourist numbers. It will destroy the spirit of the place - natives get annoyed, prices go up because of airbnbs everywhere in the city center, cheap shops in the center instead of original stuff, thieves everywhere.... And the natives move away, leaving only scammers and pseudo rich people. I hated Prague for that reason.
Please stop moving to amsterdam, the original amsterdammers are being forced to leave because of gentrification. We keep losing culture and one day amsterdam wont be as nice anymore as there will only be living rich, entitled expats. cities like rotterdam, antwerp, brussels are nice too and close to amsterdam

I visited Amsterdam earlier this year and did just that. Took a trip to Antwerp.
No problem, I over spend few hours in the flower market and walked through the red light district, back to the airport 😅
