Creator's Key Takeaways

I had a great time but would certainly do something different if I had a doover

the slow pace wasn't great for my sleepy head so I was starting to fade quickly

it was an enjoyable and educational experience but if I knew it would take 90 minutes for a 5 to 10 minute ride I'm not sure I would have stayed

I was very pleased and happy I had waited for this one it was a picture perfect ride

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Map out your routes for the day to avoid excess walking
βœ“Visit museums early in the morning when crowds are lowest
βœ“Add up admission prices to see if the Amsterdam pass is worth it

YouTube Video Description↓

As a Senior Solo Traveler, I spent three days exploring Amsterdam. I joined a free walking tour on the first day, but after that, I self-explored on foot. My destinations included the Van Gogh Museum, A'DAM Tower, NXT Museum, Straat Museum, Katten Kabinet or Cat Cabinet, This is Holland, ferry boat rides, Blue Boat Company Canal Cruise, Dam Square, Rembrandt House, exterior of Rijkmuseum, Centraal Station, Red Light District, Philosophy Stones, the VOC, Floating Flower Market, MOCO Museum, and the shopping districts. I also visited a Stroopwafel shop to try Amsterdam's favorite treat! Amsterdam is a vibrant city that has so much to offer. My three days were full of exciting exploration.
