Amsterdam city center must-see day trip

If you are visiting the Netherlands for the first time, you can actually complete the must-see attractions in the center of Amsterdam in one day. You can spend the rest of the time in other suburban places, such as the windmill village, Giethoorn, and even the Keukenhof Gardens. First stop Walk about 20 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station and you will arrive at the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. This palace, which was built in the 17th century and was originally used as a city hall, has been converted into a museum for tourists to visit. The entrance fee is 12.5 euros per person. This fee includes a Chinese language guide so that you can clearly understand the history behind each exhibit without having to rush through it. The Throne Room, Moses Hall and balcony are must-see attractions. You can pay more attention to them. Compared with museums in other countries, this one in the Netherlands is not very big and can be visited in about an hour. There are exclusive souvenirs for sale at the exit, so you can also take a look to see if there is anything you like. Second stop Opposite the Royal Palace, walk one street and you will reach the crowded Dam Square. There is a tall national record monument in the middle, which is very easy to spot. You can sit here to rest for a while and learn about the daily life of the Dutch. It is a good choice. But be careful, there are many vehicles in Dam Square, so be careful when crossing the road Third stop Walk about 10 minutes from Dam Square and you will reach the West Church, another famous landmark in the city center. The West Church is divided into two parts: one is the interior of the church and the other is the bell tower observation deck. The interior of the church is similar to other churches in Western countries, and is full of Western architectural beauty. However, after traveling in Europe for a long time, the novelty has been diluted. Normally, you can take pictures inside the church, but on the day of the visit, a service was being held, so the priest asked me not to take pictures so as not to disturb the believers. I originally wanted to visit the top of the bell tower, but when I arrived, I found out that I had to make an appointment first and then pay the entrance fee. I remember it was less than 10 euros. After some negotiations, I still couldn't visit it. It was a pity. I hope I have the opportunity to visit it again in the future. Fourth stop Outside the church is the famous Anne's House. During World War II, Anne and her family hid in a small house of 75 square meters, and Anne wrote down the date every day to record the process of their refuge. After her death, her father published her diary, which became the famous Diary of Anne Frank. It costs 10 euros to visit the Anne Frank House. It is recommended to buy tickets online in advance, otherwise you will have to queue up on site to buy them. The museum displays many items used by the family when they took refuge. It is a historical mark full of war. But everyone should pay attention that you cannot take photos in the Anne Frank House. You can only take photos with the bronze statue of Anne at the door. The above is my one-day tour in Amsterdam. I hope it can help people who are about to travel to the Netherlands. #daytrip #Hollandtravel #Amsterdam
