The story and the name of this church: Our Lord in the Attic, truly gives a deep meaning of humility and sacrifice of being a Catholic. We arrived here almost at closing time but the staffs are so kind to allow us to enter the church although we couldn't use the audio guide anymore, and it was a very memorable and touching experience.

Very nice museum with a very interesting history. It feels like going back in time. Staff is very kind and the audio tour is a good addition to make you understand the story of the church.

Great experience all around, the audio tour was very informative and not boring, the personnel is nice and friendly. A must if you are visiting the city!

The 28 best children's museums in Amsterdam

Amsterdam

I enjoyed my visit, very nice museum about cultures, religions, clothes,believes… Staff and the entrance are very helpful and friendly.

Very nice museum and surprisingly large. I recommend at least half a day to make the most of it. The museum has three main levels and the general recommendation is to start from above and work your way down. The exhibits are very nice and try to be inclusive of all aspects of society but there are places left for improvement. It was also nice to see quite a few people spending their Sundays there though most seemed to be tourists. Facilities are ok and keep in mind you HAVE to leave your bags in lockers. The lockers seem quite fragile hence I would recommend keeping the valuables on you in your pockets. The photography exhibition was interesting but didn't feel very inclusive. Definitely a nice place to spend a Sunday morning

It’s not your typical museum. It is supposed to be a guide for western countries about history of non-western countries and their culture.
But it’s far from it, the artifacts on display are only for few regions of African/Asian countries. Also a big part of museum was closed for maintenance.
However the architecture is mesmerizing.
Overall, you should visit this museum if it’s included in museum card/I Amsterdam card but I wouldn’t recommend paying for separate tickets for this one.

Grand auditorium with beautiful vistas over Ij bay. We went to a children music event in one of the smallest halls and it was very good. The children had a great time as they could move through all the event, and also take part in it. I wish all concerts for kids were like this.

With an outstanding architecture, this place is an art statement. Beautiful small venue great for jazz and small ensembles. Great bar inside. Overall an amazing experience

2 yrs after the planned date we visited the Arvo Pärt Festival here. It was worth waiting!!

This museum is the perfect stop if you have the iamsterdam city card and a spare half an hour in the surroundings. It shows you how you can live in a tiny space as a boat and explains all the different pros and cons of such an accomodation. Very warm welcoming host and ideal to have a break watching the video in the middle of a rough visiting day.

We had some time to pass before going to the Anne Frank museum and we chose to visit this museum. Fantastic experience, it only takes a half an hour or so to visit every room and it's well worth it. It's free with the I am Amsterdam card. They have catalogues about the museum in a wide range of languages also (Hungarian, French, Spanish languages for example).

Super cool place to buy the famous fair trade chocolate. There are some free samples that you can try before buying (the flavors change everyday). You can also customize your own chocolate/wrapper, but it wouldn’t be ready on the same day (so you might want to go there on the first day of your stay).

Cool and special experience! So much fun to make your own unique chocolate bar for a decent price. Friendly staff.

We came here because of the reviews. What a disappointment!

Here are why :
(-)The superstore located next to their Cafe, but in underground. There are stairs so not great coming with a stroller!

(-) To make your custom bar you have to wait for AN HOUR!

(-) It’s not cheap! I found supermarket “aktie” or offers of the week’s cheaper than buying from this store

(-) BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT, you can not sample all sort of chocolate. When i was there, there are only two sorts of choc that you can try (see picture - orange and purple choc) . But they are all empty. I asked the girl she said she couldn’t refill because she is alone 🙃😓

So, no, never again. Maybe you will have more luck than us 🍀

It is a must do. We arranged to take the boat on January at 17:00 and I do believe it was the perfect time. Enough light in the beginning of the route and a bit dark after 30-40min to see the lights in the canals!
Do reserve online to avoid extra charges

Better to be taken by day not night , nice snacks , audio guidance with several languages and cozy welcoming atmosphere , we took it for one hour and half so we it was enough tone and we had plenty of fun 👌

I suggest to everyone to try a boat tour. You will explore that part of the city wich is not possible to see by foot or by bicycle. The price is cheap 10 euro for a ride, they do not accept student discount. The trip is almost 1 hour and you can make a plenty of photos in it. It is not very comfortable, just like in an urban bus. But it is worth.

Such a nice store, and such a nice salesperson!
And the candy were delicious.

Lovely shop and worth a visit. The owner wasn’t very friendly, I had read this on trip advisor and they were right. No photos were to be taken, no Visa cards only master cards or cash. She can’t advise you what is good as it all is. No samples offered to me. I would of bought a lot more. Turn that frown upside down lady.

EXCELLENT licorice but owner was the quintessential crabby candy lady. How is it that you sell something sweet that brings joy, yet you are jaded. It was a Willy Wonka-ian experience. Going in, we had a very good working knowledge of different types of licorice (salmiak, sweet-to-salty, soft, ammonia essence, caramel texture, etc) so we tried to communicate what we liked, but she didn't want to listen. Instead, she felt the need to judge our kid for being on her phone. How about grasping that without a phone kids would be climbing the walls, grabbing at candy, whining, but that would have been a complaint too! So, on either side of this "argument" she would've found fault. How about just sell candy with a smile or sell your biz to someone who is passionate about licorice & retail. And in a media focused world (& good for promotion), grinchGirl won't let you take pics in the store and accused our kid of taking a photo, all that was really happening was she was watching something on her phone. Ugh😖

Such a wonderful experience! The wax figures are so realistic and showcased perfectly - great for photo taking which I took a ton! They don't have lockers or a place to store your belongings so definitely recommend to visit this place before you do any shopping in the strips. Hoping they add new wax figures before my next visit!

What a great day at Madame Tussaud's in Amsterdam. We Loved every moment. Staff are the best. Super friendly and helpful. You can even get a nice glass of Heineken at the bar there! Put MT- Amsterdam on your must do list! X

Very interactive museum!
We really had a good time there!

Such a good wax work in there!!!!
It looked like real people!!!!
Highly recommend :)
The only thing i think they should improve its offer of lockers! We really had problems with carrying everything inside and no places to put our stuffs...

A truly magnificent museum showcasing the rich history of the city. There are numerous exhibits to see but The Golden Coach exhibition stands out. What a magnificent coach it is, currently shrouded in controversy as one of the doors depicts a portrait of the Dutch (white) colonial masters surrounded by black and Indonesian/Javanese slaves. Absolutely a must-see exhibition. Highly recommended!

Very enjoyable visit. Very historical and I love the video displays. The Golden Carriage was okay, but didn't spark much for me. I simply enjoyed riding the bike through 1927. That was a treat. Wished there was more interactive content, but still a worthwhile visit.

Beautiful environment, rich collection, very worth to visit

If you are interessted in handbags and their history, than this is a must. A museum made with love. And with very nice people as well. Several floors filled with bags, purses and information. And with a cute little bench next to it if you would like to sit on a bench in order to watch the boats on the canal.

An amazing display of the evolution of expensive purses and travel bags. With so many gorgeous showpieces, one hour probably won't be enough to take time enjoy them all. The only negative thing I have to say is that the rooms and the exhibits were very poorly lit and didn't allow for the close inspection of the details of most bags..

Amazing! I had no expectations when I went here, it was mostly because it was raining and I wanted to be indoors, so came across this place accidentally. Beautiful bags and purses from the 16th to 21st century, well organized museum display, nice place to have tea and desserts.
