There aren\u2019t many of us in the Red Light District either. The reason? There are so many other places for us to go! The city is a warren of back streets filled with hidden gems. And so, when the tourists move in <i>en masse<\/i> we simply move on. That\u2019s what\u2019s happened in many places, like the Dam the Red light district and much of the Leidseplein.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not only true for the bars, cafes or restaurants either. Once you know Amsterdam a little better, you realize there are plenty of more affordable alternatives to the regular tourist traps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here we\u2019ll discuss some of our personal favorites. Are these the best the city has to offer? That\u2019s a bit like choosing the best Dutch candy shop. There are so many options and it depends on what you like! Do you prefer stroopwafels or liquorish? Art or architecture? At the same time, if you\u2019re even a little bit like us then we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll like these!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Hortus Botanical Gardens<\/h2>\n<p>Sure, we\u2019re prejudiced. We got married here, so we\u2019ve got a special connection. All the same, there\u2019s a reason why we chose to get married in the Hortus. With its greenery, design and luxurious warmth (even in winter) It\u2019s such an easy place to connect to.<\/p>\n<p>Established in what is now<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com.mx\/maps?q=hortus+botanicus+amsterdam&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiP0MHf8PvbAhUvnq0KHatZAosQ_AUICygC\"> the heart of the city<\/a> in 1638 to supply apothecaries with necessary herbs, the Hortus is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. Of course, medicine has moved on a bit since then, so it doesn\u2019t supply quite as many herbs. Now it\u2019s main focus is to collect, protect and display different plants, flowers and trees from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Nor is it just the greenery which is beautiful. The buildings, layout and greenhouses are gorgeous as well. Even better, though we heartily advise you to go in, you don\u2019t have to. On days with decent weathers, the surrounding parks and waterways are some of the nicest areas to sit and watch the world go by. It an oasis in an already green city.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll have to pay to get in.<a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.dehortus.nl\/Products\/Overview?refresh=y&amp;language=EN\"> You can find the prices here<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>The Nine streets<\/h2>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" src=\"http:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Street_narrow_5821454321-compressed-scaled-1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Street_narrow_5821454321-compressed-scaled-1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Street_narrow_5821454321-compressed-scaled-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Street_narrow_5821454321-compressed-scaled-1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Street_narrow_5821454321-compressed-scaled-1-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Street_narrow_5821454321-compressed-scaled-1-2048x1360.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yes, <i>the <\/i>nine streets. You\u2019ve got nine streets in your country? That\u2019s nice, but they don\u2019t hold a candle to <i>our <\/i>nine streets. Okay, humility might not be the Dutch people\u2019s strong suit. Still, they\u2019re pretty cool streets that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com.mx\/search?q=Nine+streets+amsterdam&amp;npsic=0&amp;rflfq=1&amp;rlha=0&amp;rllag=52370309,4885037,71&amp;tbm=lcl&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjl18nE8PvbAhVKXKwKHSUvCmQQtgMISw&amp;tbs=lrf:!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e3!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:2&amp;rldoc=1#rlfi=hd:;si:;mv:!1m3!1d139.56284410365538!2d4.8850375!3d52.370309799999994!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i55!2i11!4f13.1\"> make up a big chunk of the center<\/a> and offer some unique shopping experiences. Like a shop dedicated to toothbrushes (and only toothbrushes) and another one which sells rubber ducks (and \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 only rubber ducks).<\/p>\n<p>In a way, this area is a perfect example of gentrification. This used to be one of the ugliest and filthiest parts of the city. For example, the tanneries which cured animal skins were located here a few hundred years ago. And as there was both rotting meat and human urine involved in the tanning process, that obviously didn\u2019t make this a very good area to live. That\u2019s all changed now.<\/p>\n<h2>Hofjes<\/h2>\n<p>Tucked away in the heart of Amsterdam are \u2018the little courts\u2019. When you walk into either of those, it feels like you\u2019ve left the city entirely as the noise and hubbub of the city falls away. There are two publicly accessible hofjes. The Begijnhof<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com.mx\/maps?q=het+begijnhof&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwj3reb98fvbAhVMcq0KHe5RC_kQ_AUICygC\"> off the Spui<\/a> and the Deutzenhof<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com.mx\/maps\/place\/Stichting+het+Deutzenhofje\/@52.3626078,4.8878737,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x47c609eb994a7fbb:0x7ab0925e7040756a!8m2!3d52.3626078!4d4.8900624\"> just off the Prinsengracht<\/a>. Both were founded to offer refuge from the city\u2019s hustle and bustle without you having to go to the actual countryside.<\/p>\n<p>To keep them from being absolutely overrun by tourists, neither of them is advertised. As a result, if you don\u2019t know where they are you\u2019ll probably walk straight on by. It\u2019s a clever strategy. It lets the whole city enjoy them without so many people going that the area becomes unlivable.<\/p>\n<p>Entrance is free.<\/p>\n<h2>Plan Zuid<\/h2>\n<p>Are you an architecture buff? Then Amsterdam has plenty to offer. From the ancient to the more recent. In that latter category you\u2019ll find Plan Zuid. This area was designed by the expressionist architect Hendrik Berlage (Yup, the same guy who designed the Beurs van Berlage) back in 1915.<\/p>\n<p>The reason it\u2019s so interesting is because it fundamentally changed urban planning. The insights that he had have been instrumental in understanding the space we live in. This includes housing as well as public spaces.<\/p>\n<p>As an extra bonus, it\u2019s just a really cool and friendly area! And though it might now be 100 years old, like fine wine it has aged well. Perhaps that\u2019s why it\u2019s one of the most expensive areas to live outside of the city center! (Though it\u2019s free to visit).\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Cobra museum in Amstelveen<\/h2>\n<p>There are a bunch of famous art museums in Amsterdam. I mean, you\u2019ve probably already gone to museums like Van Gogh, Rijks and Rembrandt. And, of course, they\u2019re nice. But they\u2019re hardly the only ones you\u2019ve got to visit!<\/p>\n<p>Our favorite little-known museum is the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cobra-museum.nl\/en\/\"> Cobra Museum<\/a>. It\u2019 showcases a mid-20th century expressionist painting style which was incredibly popular in the Netherlands as well as Scandinavia (no, the Netherlands is not part of Scandinavia. Yes, that is a common mistake).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The reason it\u2019s not all that popular is probably because it\u2019s a little bit out of the way (Though their crappy website doesn\u2019t help). It is, in fact, a little further south of Plan Zuid. Of course, that does have its advantages. It means it won\u2019t be as busy or as expensive (12 euro instead of 17,50 for the Rijks). Of course, if you\u2019re serious about seeing a number of museums you should really get a Museum card (there are different ones for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdam.info\/museums\/museumkaart\/\"> residents<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/adaminfo.amsterdam.ticketbar.eu\/en\/discountcards\/museum-card-tourists-\/\"> tourists<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>Check out our tours<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blueingreen.amsterdam\/tours\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGo to our Tours<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Share this post<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256C504 119 393 8 256 8S8 119 8 256c0 123.78 90.69 226.38 209.25 245V327.69h-63V256h63v-54.64c0-62.15 37-96.48 93.67-96.48 27.14 0 55.52 4.84 55.52 4.84v61h-31.28c-30.8 0-40.41 19.12-40.41 38.73V256h68.78l-11 71.69h-57.78V501C413.31 482.38 504 379.78 504 256z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFacebook<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 32H31.9C14.3 32 0 46.5 0 64.3v383.4C0 465.5 14.3 480 31.9 480H416c17.6 0 32-14.5 32-32.3V64.3c0-17.8-14.4-32.3-32-32.3zM135.4 416H69V202.2h66.5V416zm-33.2-243c-21.3 0-38.5-17.3-38.5-38.5S80.9 96 102.2 96c21.2 0 38.5 17.3 38.5 38.5 0 21.3-17.2 38.5-38.5 38.5zm282.1 243h-66.4V312c0-24.8-.5-56.7-34.5-56.7-34.6 0-39.9 27-39.9 54.9V416h-66.4V202.2h63.7v29.2h.9c8.9-16.8 30.6-34.5 62.9-34.5 67.2 0 79.7 44.3 79.7 101.9V416z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLinkedIn<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M459.37 151.716c.325 4.548.325 9.097.325 13.645 0 138.72-105.583 298.558-298.558 298.558-59.452 0-114.68-17.219-161.137-47.106 8.447.974 16.568 1.299 25.34 1.299 49.055 0 94.213-16.568 130.274-44.832-46.132-.975-84.792-31.188-98.112-72.772 6.498.974 12.995 1.624 19.818 1.624 9.421 0 18.843-1.3 27.614-3.573-48.081-9.747-84.143-51.98-84.143-102.985v-1.299c13.969 7.797 30.214 12.67 47.431 13.319-28.264-18.843-46.781-51.005-46.781-87.391 0-19.492 5.197-37.36 14.294-52.954 51.655 63.675 129.3 105.258 216.365 109.807-1.624-7.797-2.599-15.918-2.599-24.04 0-57.828 46.782-104.934 104.934-104.934 30.213 0 57.502 12.67 76.67 33.137 23.715-4.548 46.456-13.32 66.599-25.34-7.798 24.366-24.366 44.833-46.132 57.827 21.117-2.273 41.584-8.122 60.426-16.243-14.292 20.791-32.161 39.308-52.628 54.253z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTwitter<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewbox=\"0 0 496 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M496 256c0 137-111 248-248 248-25.6 0-50.2-3.9-73.4-11.1 10.1-16.5 25.2-43.5 30.8-65 3-11.6 15.4-59 15.4-59 8.1 15.4 31.7 28.5 56.8 28.5 74.8 0 128.7-68.8 128.7-154.3 0-81.9-66.9-143.2-152.9-143.2-107 0-163.9 71.8-163.9 150.1 0 36.4 19.4 81.7 50.3 96.1 4.7 2.2 7.2 1.2 8.3-3.3.8-3.4 5-20.3 6.9-28.1.6-2.5.3-4.7-1.7-7.1-10.1-12.5-18.3-35.3-18.3-56.6 0-54.7 41.4-107.6 112-107.6 60.9 0 103.6 41.5 103.6 100.9 0 67.1-33.9 113.6-78 113.6-24.3 0-42.6-20.1-36.7-44.8 7-29.5 20.5-61.3 20.5-82.6 0-19-10.2-34.9-31.4-34.9-24.9 0-44.9 25.7-44.9 60.2 0 22 7.4 36.8 7.4 36.8s-24.5 103.8-29 123.2c-5 21.4-3 51.6-.9 71.2C65.4 450.9 0 361.1 0 256 0 119 111 8 248 8s248 111 248 248z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPinterest\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Keep Reading<\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you noticed how few Amsterdammers you find sitting in the cafes and bars on Dam square?
