Sai posted:Fun things to do in Amsterdam that are a little of the beaten path but not very obscure or anything Adding to this: Winkel, just off the Prinsengracht in the Jordaan, is a lovely café that has a delicious apple cake, and is right by the historic Noorderkerk. A walk in the Jordaan is a must to really get a 'feel' for Amsterdam, with lots of beautiful houses and cool little second-hand clothing / book stores. Also seconding the Negen Straatjes, which are in the same general area and make for a nice wander. My favourite museum is the Kattenkabinet, simply because it's so ridiculous: it was founded by an old man after the death of his cat, and is dedicated to an eclectic collection of cat-related artifacts. Amsterdam has a lot of really interesting museums, many of which are very small (like the one-room Tulip Museum on the Prinsengracht). I only will be living here two more weeks before I move to Canada and I'm so sad to leave this beautiful city! edit: oh yes, and while the Vondelpark is definitely a must-see, don't neglect other green areas of Amsterdam, like the Westerpark, which contains the Westergasfabriek culture park, complete with art-house cinema, fashion studio, and a couple of really lovely cafés. If you have kids, the kinderboerderij, a little 'farm experience' for children there, is a lot of fun. (Even if you don't have kids, you may still want to go look at the sheep and the ponies.)
